What a delightful book about such a sweet, caring and compassionate man! Henry speaks candidly about dealing with the highs and lows of his career, being a geeky TV fan like the rest of us, and turning his struggles with dyslexia into a book series to help kids with the same challenges. So cool that his wife Stacey chimed in by narrating the chapters about her. Love this heartwarming memoir as well as his children‘s books. 🙌🏻

Jim Henson: The Biography | Brian Jay Jones
post image

Finally finished my #BookishMonopoly board! 😅 I‘m not as creative as @AkashaVampie and @Jari-chan , so I used a template by #ElaineHowlin and embellished it with a bunch of bookish stickers. My first roll was 8 and I landed on #Nonfiction. 🎲 So I chose this Jim Henson book that @Beatlefan129 reminded me was on my Kindle.
Thanks for hosting and inspiring me to play, @AkashaVampie ! Now I need to learn more of the rules!

Jari-chan Your board is beautiful 😍 So glad you joined in. Enjoy your book 😊 2w
Deblovestoread This looks fun! 2w
AkashaVampie Ur board is gorgeous hun. Yay!! Happy u could join us. As for the rules. U can do whatever u want. I do 5 rolls at a time, sometimes 10. I do it that way so I can jump right into another book after I'm done one. I believe @Jari-chan does 1 roll at a time. Do what works for u. Just Roll & Read. 2w

UwannaPublishme @AkashaVampie Thank you Krysti! The stickers and template definitely saved me. 😁 And I did borrow several prompts from your beautiful board. Love these rules too, especially since I‘m a slow reader. I‘ll start with one roll at a time and see where it leads. Thx again for hosting such a cool challenge! 🤗❤️📚 2w

AkashaVampie @UwannaPublishme u honestly can do what u want. For my community chest & chance, I have 2 cups that I pull from. So it's kinda like TBR Jar mixed in. And u are so welcome! Happy to help. 🤓 2w
UwannaPublishme @AkashaVampie I love your idea for the chance and community chest cards. I may have to try that down the road. I am still in awe over your 5 or 10 rolls at a time. Wow! Happy Reading to you! 2w
AkashaVampie @UwannaPublishme thanks. I just like having options when I read. And depending what I have on my list, it might not be available to me at a certain time. 2w

Saw this book at a thrift store & couldn‘t resist the title. Then I remembered seeing Carol‘s hilarious stand-up routine in Hollywood. Who knew she‘s an Emmy nominated writer for such shows as Seinfeld, SNL, Modern Family & Hacks. She‘s even writing for the Oscars show next month. Great pix and inside stories about the comedy biz along with fun tips for job seekers in any field. A funny & nostalgic read!

Here‘s another wild adventure by the creative and oh-so-cool children‘s author Kate DiCamillo. 🙌🏻 You‘ll meet a comic-book obsessed young girl, her wacky romance novelist mom, several eccentric and philosophical neighbors and a lovable poetic rodent! There‘s also a sprinkling of graphic novel pages for even more fun. A 2014 Newbery Medal winner and a gem of a read!

Such a heartwarming book, even if I did sob thru those last chapters. Loved reading from the cat‘s perspective, taking an enlightening road trip along breathtaking sites in Japan & picturing Nana almost exactly as this movie poster. Made me cherish my friendships, especially those that have survived decades. Didn‘t realize Hiro Arikawa also authored the Library Wars series, which I‘m about to start.

What a delightful read! Love Margery‘s wit(and her curls!)Thanks @TheBookHippie for this great choice to kick off #ChildrensClassicRead2024

Archie Meets Glee | Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
post image
Pickpick

Call me crazy, but I love these Archie mash-up graphic novels. This time a portal between worlds opens up, leaving several GLEE members in the Archie Universe and vice-versa. The plot is ridiculously funny as Veronica gets slusheed, Coach Sue Sylvester faces off with Jughead, Archie falls for Rachel, and Rachel just wants to be the star of the show in any Universe. Great fun for any Archie fan and Gleek like me.🤓

Had to squeeze in my last book of the year…and what a thrilling memoir by the Legendary Broadway actress, singer & dancer! Now at 90, Chita shares such wonderful stories about her early days onstage working with all the greats: Fosse, Kander & Ebb, Gwen Verdon, Sammy Davis Jr., Liza Minnelli, Shirley MacLaine & more! A must read for any theater buff! So happy I got to see Chita twice onstage in Chicago in ‘75 & The Rink in ‘85.

If you‘re any kind of a fan of Barbra‘s, this 48-hr audiobook will breeze by, especially with film clips and song snippets! And why not as Barbra chats with you about everything…her career, favorite foods, struggles with a male-dominated film industry and finding her true love—the dashing James Brolin. So honest, inspiring and powerful!
Would love to hear your Barbra stories. I got to see her onstage in 1968 at the International Hotel in Vegas.

Couldn‘t wait to read this first-ever authorized bio on this fearless icon. Author Brower had exclusive access to Elizabeth‘s unpublished personal letters, diary entrees & off-the-record interviews with family & friends. It‘s the real story beyond all the marriages, scandals & Hollywood glitz. When Elizabeth took on the fight against AIDS while almost everyone else turned their backs, she truly changed the world. What an inspiration! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lorna is my go-to for plenty of laughs & quirky characters and this book is her best yet! A group of churchy ladies need more than their usual recipe book to raise funds for their faltering All Souls parish. But when their new idea is the ABCs of Erotica, all hell breaks loose!😂 This is the first time I listened to Lorna‘s narration, and how she came up with distinct voices for each of the many characters blew me away! Simply brilliant! 🥰🙌🏻

What a funny and moving memoir filled with such beautiful stories and memories about the friendship between these two trailblazing country music icons! Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline only knew each other for 2 short years, but theirs was a forever friendship that changed both of their careers & lives. Delightful read! I had no idea author Shel Silverstein wrote several top hits for Loretta, Johnny Cash and many more.

Under the Lilacs | Louisa May Alcott

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 🤷🏻‍♀️ 10mo
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. 10mo
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 😂 10mo

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

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?

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. 11mo
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! 😁 11mo
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! 😄 11mo
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! 11mo
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. 😊👍🏻 11mo

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. 😉 13mo

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!

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. 14mo
