Under the Lilacs | Louisa May Alcott
post image
Pickpick

Call me a sap for neatly spun happy endings, but I‘m marking this a pick. Ben and Sancho were thoroughly entertaining as well as the more spectacular(vs. darker)elements of the circus. Loved Bab showing up the boys with her archery skills and Betty stepping out of her shell to rescue Sancho. It definitely had some cringy moments, but that‘s a given for a 150-year-old classic. Alcott still rules in my book!

#MitchAlbom books always touch my heart! This one also has a strong “Tuesdays with Morrie” vibe. It‘s about two men of the cloth whose unique life journeys help Mitch revive his faltering faith, and get us readers to reflect on our own lives and priorities. Thrilled to hear Mitch is releasing a new novel with a Holocaust theme in November, which he says is the most important story he‘s ever written.

TheBookgeekFrau I loved this book! It's funny, I love this man's writing and yet I have zero desire to read Tuesday's with Morrie. It's the weirdest thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2w
UwannaPublishme @TheBookgeekFrau I guess it‘s always hard to pick up a book about someone who has an incurable disease and is eventually going to die. But Mitch‘s stories are so uplifting even though I need to grab a tissue each time. I think if you liked this one, you‘ll also like “Tuesdays.” It really helped me appreciate my many wonderful teachers. 2w
TheBookgeekFrau @UwannaPublishme Maybe. It'll probably be one of those books that I'll eventually read and then want to kick myself for waiting so damn long 😂 2w

A cute picture book about pet adoption and celebrating our most unique qualities. I met the author years ago and was impressed by how she inspires kids to feel confident, strong and special about who they are…through her many books.

Just finished this vintage memoir by Patti Page, top-charting female vocalist in the 50s. She sold 100 million records in 6 decades & had over 80 top singles.That means you heard at least one of her songs!😉(Tennessee Waltz? Doggie in the Window?) My parents were huge fans & took us kids to many of her concerts & Vegas shows. We were thrilled to meet her in person in 1990. She was truly a class act and a beautiful soul!

What's It All About? | Michael Caine
post image
Pickpick

Loved listening to Sir Michael Caine (now 90!) share stories about his early career, slew of movies (160!) and 50-year marriage to Shakira. It was love at first sight when he saw her in a 1970s Maxwell House TV commercial! Can you believe Michael “purposely” skipped several chapters on this audio version so the listener would buy the book and get the whole story? 😳 That‘s a first for me! Maybe an 80s marketing gimmick?

TheAromaofBooks Listening to him talk for hours on end would be no hardship! I had no idea he was married for so long - that's quite the feat in film industry. We watch Muppet Christmas Carol every year, and he really makes that movie. 1mo

UwannaPublishme @TheAromaofBooks He does have an accent that will make you swoon! 💕 And I just put the Muppet Movie on my watch list. Haven‘t seen it in ages. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks I read an interview once where he said that when he agreed to do the Muppet movie he said the only way to do it was if he took it 100% seriously. His ability to do the straight, serious act whilst surrounded by muppets is what makes the whole movie work, and makes Scrooge's character arc so believable. We watch that one every year! 😁 1mo
UwannaPublishme @TheAromaofBooks I‘ve always loved all of the Muppets movies, since they sneak in many jokes for us big kids. 😉 I may need Christmas to come sooner. I really want to see it now! 😄 1mo
PurpleyPumpkin Another to add to my tbr!📚👍🏽 Interesting that he skipped some chapters. I‘d love to hear his story told in his voice, so maybe a book/audio read is in order. Having said that, I‘m sure the abridged version was highly entertaining! 1mo
UwannaPublishme @PurpleyPumpkin He is quite a character and a great storyteller too. And having him read to you via audio is the only way to go. 😊👍🏻 1mo

The Black Stallion | Walter Farley
post image
Pickpick

I feel a special bond with author Farley since we both had uncles who passed their love of horses onto us. My Uncle Ninny(b&w pic)taught me how to ride when I was a kid & always laughed when I‘d have conversations with his horses! Farley received so much mail, he set up The Black Stallion Club to connect with his young fans. How cool is that! Here‘s a vintage button(eBay photo)that Farley designed in 1949.

It was an emotionally charged month immersed in this moving novel along with journals & letters by one of my fave authors. Steinbeck certainly succeeded in his goal to “rip a reader‘s nerves to rags” and deeply experience the life of a Dust Bowl migrant…from the brutal oppression to the enduring human spirit and everything in between. It‘s no wonder JS collapsed from exhaustion after finishing it. Now to watch the film!

Fascinating read about how the octopus—usually portrayed as a menacing and monstrous creature, really has a unique personality, curious nature and perhaps an even deeper connection with us than we realize. And now I know that the plural of octopus is NOT octopi! 😆

Somebody to Love?: A Rock-and-Roll Memoir | Grace Slick, Andrea Cagan
post image
Pickpick

Cool rock memoir by another fearless women who smashed barriers in the music world. Grace Slick was a top female vocalist in the psychedelic 60s. She wrote White Rabbit as a rant against hypocritical parents who read drug-laced books(like Alice in Wonderland)to their kids! Hard to believe her album with Jefferson Airplane(now Starship) debuted 56 years ago.😳 Now 83, Grace is an artist(that‘s her Janis Joplin portrait) & only sings in her car.😉

PurpleyPumpkin Sounds like a great read! Glad you enjoyed. 😉 3mo

Taylor Jenkins Reid is obsessed (like me!) with old Hollywood, all its glitter & scandal and all those steadfast, ballsy, enigmatic, fearless female movie icons like Ava Gardner who inspire us to speak our truth.

How could I resist reading the unfiltered diaries of the amazing Dame Joan Collins! Loved all the juicy Hollywood gossip, name-dropping & scathing behind the scenes drama, especially on Legends, a play I saw with Joan & Linda Evans.Thrilled to land this signed & numbered limited US edition. And had to include this photo of the biggest Dynasty fan I know:my 93-yr-old Mom, who met Joan at a Dynasty Reunion in 2014.Mom & I are bingeing Season 4 now!

TheBookgeekFrau What are you watching it on? My mother also LOVED Dynasty (we were all under a threat of death if we forgot to record for her on Wednesday nights 😂) 4mo

UwannaPublishme @TheBookgeekFrau @batsy 😂 I see our moms are very similar! My mom was so addicted to watching Dynasty that she refused to answer the phone if we called on Weds nights. And we were 3,000 miles away! That‘s how I ended up watching it too! I bought her the entire series in DVD. 4mo
UwannaPublishme @TheBookgeekFrau @batsy I must admit, I can‘t wait for Dex to show up. He made me swoon back then! 🥰 P.S. This book didn‘t have enough gossip on Dynasty, so I may have to read Joan‘s earlier memoir. 4mo
UwannaPublishme @LeahBergen @batsy @Deblovestoread It‘s Mom‘s fave photo… and mine! She was so mesmerized meeting Joan. And Joan was very sweet. 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau @UwannaPublishme Omg, Dex! Loved him! And yes, our moms are similar 😂 I'm bummed it's on DVD and not a streaming service. At first I was like, cool I'll get the DVDs for my mother's bday next month; but, yeah, right--she doesn't have a DVD player. But she probably still has the VCR we used to tape it 🤣 4mo
UwannaPublishme @TheBookgeekFrau I hate to admit that both my mom and I have working DVD and VHS players. 🤣 But I just found out you can watch Dynasty on Prime Video, Vudu and Apple TV. 🙌🏻 Hope you get to watch soon! These episodes are hysterical! 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau @UwannaPublishme I also have both DVD and VHS players, but I'm in CO and mom's in NY soooo 🤷‍♀️😂 But when I tell her about Dynasty on those streaming services she's gonna leap technologically beyond me 🤣 4mo

Loved listening to this heartwarming memoir by beloved Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark—and that thick Bronx accent! Published in 2001, it‘s filled with laugh-out-loud stories about her writing life, her adventures as a Pan Am flight attendant & raising her 5 kids. She someone found the time to get up each morning before dawn, clear the kitchen table, pull out her typewriter & crank out those gripping novels.

I found this vintage VHS tape of the 1957 animated movie The Snow Queen at a library book sale. It was very similar to the enchanting book.

I‘ve always been intrigued by this creepy classic, especially when they changed the ending of the 1977 movie so as not to spook the audience.

Tumble Tower | Anne Tyler

Yes-Anne Tyler also writes children‘s books! This one (from 1983 with illustrations by Anne‘s daughter Mitra) is a hoot, especially if you live amid book clutter!📚It‘s about a severely organized & tidy royal family who often complain about Princess Mollie‘s unkempt bedroom in the castle tower. But when the palace is flooded and everyone must retreat to Mollie‘s room, they suddenly find many blessings among the mess!

I love this guy & this book! Funniest Memoir Ever!!! No drama here—just tons of hilarious stories about Mel‘s childhood, the comical casts & comedians he worked with & priceless trivia about all of his beloved movies-some I didn‘t even know he created! Such a kind, generous soul who loves movies, life & doing anything to make people laugh. The world would be a much happier place if we followed his motto: “If you can laugh, you can get by.” 😁🙌🏻

PurpleyPumpkin I gave this to Rob as a Christmas gift last year! Admittedly, I was interested in it too. Glad you enjoyed it! Hope all is well with you. 🤗 6mo

Teenage Wasteland | Anne Tyler

Pickpick

Here‘s another thought-provoking short story by Anne Tyler that first appeared in Seventeen magazine back in 1981. It‘s set in the 60s, and the irony is heavy handed as clueless parents, teachers & a supposedly “hip” counselor try to understand a rebellious teen. I wonder if Anne was inspired to write this after listening to her daughter‘s Who‘s Next album. Pete Townshend might think so!😉🤔

After seeing so many films about King Arthur, I‘m glad to finally read this engaging classic. I still imagine dashing Robert Goulet as Lancelot.🥰Loved the tale of Sir Gawain & Lady Ragnelle. And what an evil sister Arthur had to endure! Now I need to see both Helen Mirren & Helena Bonham Carter portray Morgana. What fun! And yes, I do open all my #LitsyLove mail with my Excalibur letter opener!

Brava to author Yamile Mendez for stirring my fearless inner child who once yearned to play women‘s professional sports—back when they still weren‘t taken seriously. I‘m so glad that times are finally changing for today‘s young female athletes—and that authors like Yamile are empowering passionate young girls who really love sports! 🙌🏻⚽️🙌🏻

It‘s too bad I‘m such a scaredy cat when it comes to reading horror because #AuthorAMonth Grady Hendrix seems like a cool author with a campy and irreverently funny side. I thought I‘d get a chuckle out of this 2016 comic parody of one of my favorite Alcott classics, but it was pretty lame.🙄

What a page-turner! Sharon takes a sharp turn away from a typical memoir template and takes on the gripes and criticisms flung her way throughout her 50-yr career. She‘s so open, candid and freakin hilarious 😂 as she bares her soul thru the juiciest, funniest, touching, and most memorable stories. Sharon‘s many groundbreaking roles (Cagney & Lacey 🙌🏻) have empowered us all, and so will this book.

I thought this wildly eye-opening book(pictured)by S&S editor-in-chief would be all about Jackie Susann, since it became a cheesy-fun film with Bette Midler. Turns out Korda handled many 70s authors & sunk a shocking bundle of $$ publicizing their books. They even gave away silver ankhs to promote The Love Machine! He also handled McMurtry,& Joan Crawford—who gave advice on raising kids in her memoir. What?!?🤦🏻‍♀️😳

TheAromaofBooks So I really wanted to send you a small birthday gift. It's obviously taken me way past your birthday to accomplish this 😂 I fit it into a box, but then when I got to the post office my PO lady basically told me I was ridiculous and repackaged the entire thing so that it would fit into a flat rate envelope and go for half the price. So if it packaging seems a little wonky... it is! 😆 8mo
UwannaPublishme @TheAromaofBooks Wow Sarah! Just received your (not at all wonky)package today. What a treat! I‘m now surrounded by my favorite Peanuts! Thank you SO much, my friend. 😉😁🥜😋P.S. Your PO lady Rocks! 8mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! So glad it got their safely. It's mostly been sitting on my table for two weeks 😂 My PO lady really does rock. She rules that post office with an iron fist (and by that I mean everyone who goes there since she's the only employee who works there) but she does look out for us, too! 8mo

Nic Stone hit this one outta the park for me! (corny pun intended🤦🏻‍♀️) As a rabid softball player in HS, I loved getting back in the game through the experiences of 12-yr-old Shenice-captain of the first all-Black team in Georgia. So many powerful messages on friendship, discrimination, family legacy, being a team player on & off the field-all circling around Stone‘s masterful dialogue & engaging writing skills.🙌🏻

Sneaking in 2 more classic memoirs on #audiocassette. What fun to have Lauren Bacall and Nancy Sinatra read to me in my car—and even hear early recordings of Frank‘s music. Lauren had great advice on speaking your truth, while Frank professed inclusivity and equality. Nancy also dispelled many hurtful rumors about her dad. Lauren and Frank were such close friends, they almost married. Who knew? Thumbs up for both!

This classic certainly had me reaching for a few tissues.😭The mother‘s devotion to her family, the sweet sibling bonds, the overwhelming kindness and unconditional love—touched my heart. Living in today‘s crazy world, I‘m always up for a happy ending. And since Edith Nesbit had quite a tumultuous family life, I guess these happy endings made her feel better too.

This book was such a treat since I grew up on all those hilarious Hayley Mills movies! Loved her behind-the-scenes trivia and fond memories working with O‘Hara, Kerr, Russell, Gypsy Rose Lee and more! Her stories of mentor Walt Disney were the sweetest. Just heard she‘ll be back on stage in London this month in Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Wish I could go!

I wasn‘t ready to dive into a Naomi Novik fantasy series yet, so I found this graphic novel instead. It‘s a cute story about self-conscious, bumbling 16-yr-old Leah who‘s trying to fit in at Liberty Vocational school for future superheroes. I‘m very impressed with Naomi so far. She must be super cool herself since she likes wearing Spock socks! 😁🖖🏻
