panTried reading this after my last book and gave up half way. It‘s a stream of consciousness grasp at remembering the past after an unfortunate round of electric convulsion therapy for Carrie Fisher. I do believe she is a witty and talented woman but this read doesn‘t really offer her best work. A bit of a cheek that it even got published.

This was my selection for July‘s Titles and Tunes. A quick and humorous read - bittersweet knowing Carrie isnt with us anymore. Her personality shines here - what a vibrant, sharp and funny woman - and wow, her incarnation as Leia really did follow her for every day of her life. Loved the shade she threw about that!
So here is my choice for #TitlesandTunes ive been meaning to read this for ages! While Carrie wasnt a rock star herself she was married to Paul Simon so i think there‘ll be enough #sexdrugsandrockandroll. Also she was fascinating and smart and outrageous enough on her own account!
The song to go with is “Cheers (Drink to That)” by Rihanna. I think Carrie would approve 💕
so-soHonestly this was kind of painful to listen to. Fisher rambles at points so it‘s hard to follow what she‘s talking about. She also yells quite a bit and seems awkward in her cadence almost as if she‘s waiting for the audience to laugh. Since the book is a transcript of her stage show that makes sense but it‘s weird to listen to. I do applaud her for her openness regarding her struggles with addiction and mental health.
pickCarrie Fisher was a blessing and I will hear nothing different
so-soI hear a lot about how great Carrie's shows and writing are, but I was a little underwhelmed with this audio. I think I would have liked more of a memoir, but this was an adaptation of a stage show. I mean, she opens saying that she had electroshock therapy and that it affected her memory, but that's it, and I'd be interested in learning more. Some amusing anecdotes, but overall a bit scattered.
pickQuick, fun (you know, for having addiction threads). Carrie Fisher is a great storyteller.

I really enjoyed this! To me, the fact that it easily could have been titled ‘Me & My Girls‘ & wasn‘t, only proves the love and devotion that Todd continuously showed towards & in regardsr to HIS Girls even after their deaths. My🎩 goes off to you Sir.
This is my January #BookSpin (#8 ebook😉)
