A Day Late and a Dollar Short
A Day Late and a Dollar Short | Terry McMillan
25 posts | 13 read | 3 to read
Much-heralded and long awaited, Terry McMillan's tour-de-force novel introduces the Price family-matriarch Viola, her sometimes-husband Cecil, and their four adult kids, each of whom sees life-and one another-through thick and thin, and entirely on their own terms. With her hallmark exuberance and cast of characters so sassy, resilient, and full of life that they breathe, dream, and shout right off the page. From the Trade Paperback edition.

This book had me on the edge of my seat and it was so hard to put down. You get to see the book from the point of view of 6 different characters and you get to see how each person is different but how they are all connected. I 10/10 would recommend and would read again.

I‘m a bit behind—lifewise & Litsywise— so I have some #Quotsy catching up to do! Due to a winter storm, we spent a few hours in the dark last night after the power went out. Our phones were low on charge so my hubby kept us entertained by playing the guitar (by light of a flashlight.) Hoping to be back on track by the weekend

#hellothursday 1️⃣.I have other accounts but since I started using Litsy I‘ve ignored them. 2️⃣. I love letter writing! I‘m in the LitsyLove, JB and PoutinePenpals writing groups. 3️⃣. My favourite hobby other than reading is cross stitch. 4️⃣. I‘d love to learn how to play the piano. @wanderinglynn @Eggs @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego

TheAromaofBooks I really enjoy cross stitching although I'm finding that I need to have brighter and brighter lights to get it done! :-p 5y
StayCurious @TheAromaofBooks tell me about it! I‘m tempted to buy one of those headlamps haha! 5y

1. Nightwish, though I really liked them best with Tarja as the singer.
2. Goodreads: 48/50 ; LitsyAtoZ, still need a few more
3. Yesterday, none. But since I should have posted this yesterday, I'll say Tuesday I read about 2 hours.
4. Not in this neighborhood directly, but in neighboring city, very bad.
5. I have bad social anxiety that rears its head in full rooms sometimes, or even in groups of three.
#HumpDayPost @MinDea

TK421 I agree that I liked Nightwish best with Tarja. Floor is really good as well. 6y

3. Yes I read more ebooks than physical books.

...as my dad likes to say ⬆️

1. I‘m doing #foreverforever, which is my first #buddyread actually. 😊
2. I‘ve really liked the name Annabeth since I saw Mystic Pizza when it first came out. Annabeth Gish was an actress in that movie.
3. Current favorite song? Uh....I think “Train Wreck,” which is an old song by Sarah McLachlan that I just discovered.
#trivialthursday @GarthRanzz

LauraBeth I love the name Annabeth 💕 6y
Eggs ❤️ Mystic Pizza 6y
AlaMich @LauraBeth Yeah *sigh* My parents, or more likely my mother, was feeling creative and named me Alaine. I like the name in theory but sometimes I feel like I spend half my life spelling it. And people who know me call me Lainie anyway, which nobody can spell either. 6y

LauraBeth How many times have people called you Elaine? A bajillion? 6y
AlaMich @LauraBeth A bajillion sounds about right. 😕 6y
LauraBeth Well I like it! It‘s unique and plus, everyone knows that Lainie‘s are fun. 6y

I spent last night binge-watching Community while writing a post about my November TBR, and marking quotes about #Death for #Quotsy, then spent way too much time agonizing over my entries for a spine poetry contest. By the time I was done it was late and had to call it a night 🙁I didn't get much done for Nano & I didn't even choose my quote! 🤦‍♀️ I can't believe I'm already a day behind on my own challenge 😳 Tonight I hope to get back on track!

SassenachTheBookWizard I love Community. Now I wanna rebinge it after seeing Danny Glover get cast in the new Lion King 6y
Debiw781 😂😂and here I'm impressed as I'm actually on track with it😂😂 6y
TK-421 @Debiw781 Yay! 👏👏👏 6y
TK-421 @SassenachTheBookWizard Danny Glover is awesome in Community. I hadn't heard about the Lion King role, but I heard he's going to be young Lando Calrissian in the Han Solo movie! 6y
SassenachTheBookWizard @TK-421 oh cool! Yeah, he's going to be Simba! 6y
