Welcome to Litsy!

I could listen to Cary Elwes all day, and that‘s just what I might do tomorrow. 😂😍

Elwes could read appliance manuals, and I‘d probably still find it enchanting. Just his rattling off of the most well-known quotes at the beginning made me #laugh. Ahhh, nostalgia. #selfimprovementSept.

#soulseptember This memoir details the production of the surprise #sweetsuccess that is The Princess Bride!

I love that my library is very responsive to purchase requests. My library has this as an audiobook and physical book, but I have been wanting to listen to it on audio (because I could listen to Cary Elwes all day 😂). And they purchased it within a few days of me asking!

Other things I 💜: 📚🍫🧘‍♀️🥾🎃🕶🐰🦄🐈🌳🍟🍿🌯🍵🚴🏻‍♀️

I loved learning the behind the scenes stories about one of my favorite movies. “True wuv!”

So good! Had to immediately watch the film after completing the book. Recommend! ❤️ (audiobook is nearly perfect!)

Loving listening to the voices! Best way to listen to any celebrity written book.

Welcome and thanks for the add @theunnaturalsquare @laur89 @kramerh77

5. Will do!

Got my #MayScavengerHunt TBR ready to go. I‘m just waiting on Paddington Bear to arrive (ordered it through PaperbackSwap).

Les Mis fits the most prompts & will be the hardest to get through in a month. 😂

It‘s clear that everyone really loved the book The Princess Bride. I actually didn‘t care for the book but I love the movie.

I'm excited for this one! 🤓 o

This one is fun! I have a signed copy in my home library, too. Love #overdrive.

I am completely charmed by this audiobook. I'm not normally a fan of numerous narrators but it really works here. Delightful!

I love this movie so when I heard about the book by Cary Elwes about the making of it I had to read it - and then I listened to the #audiobook It was amazing, with great stories and comments from the cast. Now to go watch The Princess Bride again!! #theprincessbride #andrethegiant

Started this audiobook today; love having Cary Elwes talk to me while I commute to work!

Thanks @VioletCavalier for the most inconceivable birthday present ever!!!

It's over! (sobs)

I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this story because although I love The Princess Bride film, I really had very little interest in the moviemaking process. What sold me was that Elwes was the narrator & I could listen to him read the dictionary for hours & still be entertained. I loved the behind the scenes stories & fell in love with the actors, especially Andre the Giant. Cary & other original voices really brought the story to life.

This was a delightful book to listen to both because no one can match Cary Elwes‘s voice and because so many people were able to make guest appearances.

I think I liked the inside looks at André the Giant the best, he has always fascinated me as a person.

??? sigh.

I finished the World War Z audiobook and was quite happy that a funny one I‘ve been waiting for came in next. I‘ve wanted to listen to this for a while now! Glad to have something lighthearted now (hopefully).

This audiobook was truly an enjoyable treat. I had read the book the year it came out, but only recently learned that the audio version was read by Cary AND a majority of the other actors read their own moments from the book. I listened to this book more quickly than any other. If you are a fan of The Princess Bride, you will adore this book. If you enjoy memoirs and author-read books, I believe you‘ll like this too!

Not only did I get signatures, but pics with Kevin J. Anderson and Paige O‘Hara!

And attended the Q&A with Cary Elwes; my Dread Pirate Roberts! 😍☠️

Post three of three.

I loved listening to Elwes' memories on one of my favorite movies.

Super fun and nostalgic look at the making of the princess bride. I loved the audiobook which got all the actors and production people to read their own memories.

It is “inconceivable” that anyone would not enjoy listening to this book! I enjoyed this as much as the book and the movie. To hear the narrative from the cast was a bonus.

I bought this when it first came out then let it sit on my shelf till now. On chapter two and love it already. Fulfills "A" in my #litsyatoz challenge.

Here's my closing survey for #reversereadathon.
1. Around 4 a.m. I just couldn't stay awake.
2. I finished "A Gathering of Shadows" and started "As You Wish" on audiobook.
3. Both are excellent.
4. I definitely would like to see another Reverse Readathon.
5. I will definitely participate in October.

I love this book, so much! I found myself smiling like the little four year old I was when I first watched the movie. I knew a lot of the behind the scenes moments that happened, but reading it from the person who lived through it was amazing! I would give this book all the stars possible and then some. This is a must read for any fan of the movie.

I love The Princess Bride. This book is a nice story of how the movie was made.

Inconceivable!
My thoughts on accomplishing work during a holiday week. #audiobook #page2screen #memoir #readbyauthor

Light, entertaining, and remarkably sweet, this memoir of the making of "The Princess Bride" is a lovely cohort to the movie for anyone who has seen and loved it.

Some books lead you to other books; some lead you back to movies you've loved!

The Princess Bride is a forever favorite movie of mine, and this audiobook (read by Carey Elwes himself with bits and pieces from all the surviving cast) was a super fun and nostalgic inside look at the making of said movie. I feel like a rewatch tonight is in order... pulled out my ten year old dvd copy just in case 😜

I couldn‘t resist #audiowalking the hour to work today with this beautiful weather and Cary Elwes reminiscing in my ears! Happy Sunday all 🌻

A charming bit of nostalgia for fans of The Princess Bride. Cary Elwes gives a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie. He reads the audiobook, with almost every surviving cast member adding their voices as well.

I loved it!

Work and audiobook'ing it

The Princess Bride has been one of my favorite movies since I was young. This book is a very enjoyable memoir of the making of the movie. It is sweet and funny and makes me want to watch the movie right now! I recommend the audiobook. It is read by Cary Elwes and other cast members are also featured.

#ReadingResolutions #WishfulWednesday
Whoops! I almost forgot this one. Here are four wishful books from my stacks--they all have 'wish' in their titles. The top two I've read and the bottom two are in my #TBR stacks.

The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies and this book has been on my TBR for a while, but I knew that I wanted the audiobook rather than print. I finally found it through one of my library resources and it was a delightfully entertaining listen!

#audiobook #nonfiction #memoir

We‘re into the last few weeks of school and life is a bit hectic, so this is a perfect new listen for my evening walks! It‘s light and entertaining, and I‘m pretty sure I will be watching the movie again very soon.

#nonfiction #audiobook

The train was on time, the tea is hot, the book was $2 at a used bookstore--can anybody really ask for much more? 🙂

Hit the jackpot at Goodwill today! #bookhaul

We just published our audiobook episode “Well, You Can‘t Skim.” This episode of @unabridgedpod was so much fun — take a listen on iTunes, Stitcher, or Podbean. You can also check out our website unabridgedpod.com.

This just arrived in the mail! Is this from you @TK421?!?!? I am so excited! Thank you so much!!!!!

#BookMail #10KGiveaway #ThankYou

Really enjoying this one! Now I have to go watch the movie for the five thousandth time!😍😍

I just finished listening to the audiobook as someone here suggested previously, and it was so good! Definitely a must if you're a Princess Bride fan (and who isn't? Not counting my sister lol). I loved listening to all of Cary's stories about making the movie and he was just a delight to listen to. Definitely made my last two days at work much more enjoyable!

I‘m a Princess Bride fan so I enjoyed listening to Cary Elwes (and guests) relay the tale of bringing William Golden‘s book to the big screen. I laughed out loud throughout and teared up hearing about Andre the Giant at times. I definitely recommend the audio version and speeding it up just a bit. #LitsyAtoZ #Nonfictionchallenge2018
