Welcome to Litsy!

I loved Somebody Somewhere (one of my favorite shows, still sad it was cancelled). I loved this book narrated by Hiller. It was funny & laughed plenty of times out loud. It was also sad & emotional as he talked about his parents. He discussed the relentless bullying he faced growing up. He also talked about how supportive & caring his parents were. Overall just a fun but introspective memoir. A must if you‘re a fan of Hiller.

I love the HBO show Somebody Somewhere—real and funny and tender and queer and fat and Midwestern, there‘s nothing like it and I want more! I am thrilled to share this memoir by one of its stars—and a first-time Emmy winner, Jeff Hiller! This memoir is like if David Sedaris was just as funny and risqué—but much more deeply earnest and kind-hearted at the same time. Jeff Hiller, you‘re an American treasure.

I did not think I could love Jeff Hiller more but I do! If you haven‘t already watched Somebody, Somewhere you must. And then listen to this. Oh my heart ❤️ is 10 times bigger than it was before I listened to this

My baby needs some maintenance ( part of a pump broke and needs to be replaced) so I‘m changing the water and listening to my bff Jeff Hillier and laughing out loud

HE WON!!!!! 😮 😭 💃 I screamed. If you enjoyed his speech, know that this book is (delightfully) just a bunch more of that. 🩷 🩷 🩷 🩷 🩷

I loved this just as I loved the gone-too-soon Somebody Somewhere: very, very much. Like the show, this was hilarious, frank, sweet, sharp, and heartwarming. The perfectly performed audiobook (again, like the show) had me laughing out loud frequently and tearing up, too. I'm sure he's a long shot, but I SO wish Hiller would win the Emmy for which he's nominated. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

For those of you that love this book and/or his show, Somebody Somewhere… A Facebook group member posted this cameo she got from him for her birthday: https://www.cameo.com/recipient/686c4ececf5f4cd74d2da243

Just a lovely person!

Though I love memoirs, I don't usually read ones written by actors/actresses. I listened to this book because I loved the show Somebody Somewhere so much. Jeff Hiller is as funny as his character Joel! Delightful listen!

#Two4Tuesay Tgank you for the tag @TheSpineView

1. Tagged! An ARC memoir by Jeff Hiller I enjoyed. I realized I had a lot of 3 ⭐️ / middle of the road reads for May when I looked back.

2. Never Flinch by Stephen King came out today and my preorder audio is waiting for me. I won‘t get to it until June. I always look forward to a new King book!!

If you liked Somebody Somewhere (I absolutely did) Mr. Hiller really is Joel. I could hear him giggle as I read his funny stories. So very likable but also, it wasn‘t easy for him to get here. Such a decent human. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!
