pickRelevant, funny, and informative...for instance, if you wear makeup and are tired of giving all your money to men, Erin Gibson has done her research in order to completely switch her traditional makeup loot to products made by women-owned, women-run companies.
pickAn expansive history of an incredibly long political career, but the chapter The Living Rose, finally, emotionally speaks to the tragedy, grief, despair, and faith of the Kennedy family that the rest of the book shies away from. This single chapter was the human, the brother, the son, the father, the uncle, speaking, not the politician.
Checked out the large print "doorstop" edition.
pickRainy drive reading...this book feels like ancient history even though it wasn't THAT long ago, but if you want change, vote, vote, vote. (So...make sure you vote)

Birthday gift yesterday from my baby sister; she knows me so well.
so-soFunny! Some of the pop culture references were a little old, but who's fault is that, really? I actually enjoyed the stories about Kathy's family more so than the celebrity anecdotes. I remember watching her show, Life on the D-List, back in the day, and her parents were naturally hilarious.
Spent this rainy morning searching and finding the alphabet.
Unexpected shout out to my Alma Mater!
Part II of my "out of date" memoirs reading theme this year. The 'Ancient' filter is appropriate. ?
pickYou know how sometimes you read a book at just the right time, or age, in your life? If I had read this book 10 years ago, I wouldn't have understood anything Edwards wrote about in her memoir.
For whatever reason, the theme of my books this year happens to be "out of date" memoirs ? Currently reading the tagged book and really appreciating her writing style. Don't mind me...I'll just be over here, circa 2008, give or take a few years in either direction.
pickI loved this memoir. I loved House of Sand and Fog when I read it many many years ago. And I'm REALLY excited that he has a new book out later this year!
If this is any indication of this book, I'm going to love the hell out of it...Bruuuuuuce!
pickHis hair looks to be the same material as my blanket 😂 Russel Brand is/was pretty insane, but as far as celebrity memoirs go, his is so self-aware which I really appreciate.
pickLast book of my #LitsyAtoZ of 2017...I'm a little over deadline, I know. Better late than never!
pickReally enjoyed this one, but might sit the rest of the series out based on the many reviews of the second and third books. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterY
so-soIt took me FOREVER to finish this and I can‘t blame it on the book...only on the all day sickness because of the baby I‘m expecting in May! Luckily, everything has calmed down, and I can get back to reading and focus on adding a new bookworm to the world! #LitsyAtoZ #LetterQ
so-soA lot of eye-rolling (from me) but some really thoughtful parts, too. It worked for a fluffy, end of summer book. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterV
pickInteresting! My knowledge of this period of American history is definitely lacking. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterT
The library book sale has been good to me these last couple of weeks!
pickTook all month to finish this book and it shouldn't have, as I really liked it. I blame busy work days that shorten lunches. ☹️#LitsyAtoZ #LetterO
Lucky month of May! These are the books I have won from Goodreads just this month!
