Welcome to Litsy!

I tried and I just could never get invested into the story. I kind of felt she thought others were responsible for her happiness. So I bailed and glad I did. At least I can mark this one of my TBR mountain.

So this was the first book in Book Interrupted‘s Book‘s with Movies Season. I loved this book in 2008 and recommended it to others but reading it this time around there were some really cringy parts in it. I still loved the spiritual and self discovery stuff. We had a good discussion on the podcast about how people 15+ years ago didn‘t really talk openly about mental health or women escaping social expectations to know themselves. So-so in 2024.

Commas and spelling matter

It just didn't hit the right notes for me. It took me a little bit to get into the story, but there were a few fun moments in the middle. I really loved some of the family antics, but the main characters I didn't really care for. There didn't seem like much there. The romance part of it also fell a little flat for me.

This book has been on my TBR list on my work book shelves forever. Just decided to read and loved it!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reading with Amelia… But also we unexpectedly are buying a gorgeous Craftsman house a block from our current rental!! The previous buyer backed out and we were the lucky runners up 😂

In this scene, Julia Roberts simply can't enjoy the food, because she has gained 10 pounds over her petite frame...A cute but funny scene that is both poignant and relatable! Eat, Pray, Love is a movie with modern aims. A modern woman steps away from her perfectly ordered life, to find Fulfilment. She eats her way through Italy, prays in India, falls in love with a handsome man in Indonesia (Javier Bardem)

If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared - most of all - to face some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you.“
