pickSo good! Loved on #audio as she read it and it was wonderful to hear it in her iconic voice. I loved the musical recording pieces they added into the audiobook. What an amazing creative life she has led, I am so thankful for the art that she has put into the world. She is a national treasure! #BookspinBingo Counting as two spaces since it was 48 hours long! @TheAromaofBooks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A new volume of SKIP BEAT! dropped on Tuesday after a gruelling year-long wait, so I‘m doing my traditional partial reread to prepare. This morning I hit the first of the volumes I own through Kobo rather than comiXology and I figured I‘d see how it read on my actual Kobo instead of the iPad app. Turns out, e-ink is great for manga! I‘ll still read all my western comics on the iPad, but I‘m glad I‘ve got a more portable option for Japanese stuff.
I am loving this on #audio read by the author. So delightful!
#WhatsNewWednesday…..I‘m only about 10% into this audiobook and loving it…what‘s new is, once again, I‘m experiencing book synchronicity…Barbra just mentioned I‘ll Cry Tomorrow…the memoir written by Lillian Roth. I didn‘t know she was in a play with her. I loved that book and read it about a year and a half ago.
pickAt 48hrs this is a longgg audiobook. I loved the first half; her childhood in Brooklyn in the 1950s, trying to make it on Broadway then working with Gene Kelly in big MGM musicals in the 60s. The second half was more of a slog. It‘s exhaustive and exhausting at times. Still… it‘s Barbra Streisand so what did I expect?! 😂
48hrs?! Ok Barb, let‘s do this! 😉
Bk5 of my recent #BookMail is the memoir/autobiography of the goddess herself, Barbra Streisand! One of the few to win the EGOT(Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony)she is one of the most recognisable voices in music. I grew up watching her movies, Funny Girl, Hello Dolly, What‘s Up Doc, The Way We Were etc, she‘s a total iconoclast with a nose to match. Absolute Legend!
pick2-20-24: My 3rd book of 2024! 970 pages of Barbra? Yes please!! I‘ve waited my whole life for this book and I‘m so thankful she took the time to tell us the truth about her life and career. To say it has been remarkable is an understatement. I took a long time to read this but really I was savoring each page and didn‘t want it to end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars for sure! And yes, I would read this one again which is why I bought my own copy to have forever.
I couldn't choose just three, so I didn't. 😋
Here are four of my favorite musicals:
1. Annie (1982)
2. Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
3. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
4. Hamilton (2015)
