Welcome to Litsy!

Super late getting my #BookSpinBingo August wrap up posted since I finally unpacked my printer. Only read 2 books because moving took most of my energy and focus but both of these were great. The tagged book will surely make you feel great about your failed relationships too 😂 This is also proof that DNFs are not always forever. I came back to this book 4 years after shelving it in “library purgatory”.

Oh my stars! What a way to start February! I thought this book was going to be funny, it was not, it made me feel sad for the real life people that had to live through these breakups! And people were very creative with how they ended relationships: beheadings, slander, sending body hair, etc. I highly recommend this book to any one who loves history and loves a good breakup story.
💔💔💔💔💔

Finished this book up while cooking today! I really enjoyed this one. It was about relationships through history and all the terrible ways that they ended. It was funny and well researched and very fun to read! Another one down for #24b4monday

Starting at 0 with my audiobook while I cook and clean this morning. Hoping to make a dent in this one so I can start a new one! #24b4monday

Kiki, do you love me?

If Kiki were in this book, you could bet not. This is a funny look at different famous couples from history.

Was this book discussing 13 terrible breakups historically accurate? Nah. Was it a hilarious, fun ride? Definitely! I can overlook the mistakes the author made historically because she‘s not a historian and she‘s not claiming to be. A gossipy, lighthearted discussion of the breakups. I did come away learning some things and have have some things I‘d love to learn more about! Which, to me, is the point of these list type nonfiction stories.

Get to enjoy a quiet lunch with book while Rox is at the groomers and the husband and kiddo are at the Y for homeschool gym & swim!

I don‘t know if those were the worst breakups in history, but definitely they ended very badly. Author takes us through the time, from Nero (he was the worst) to the modern times with the Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. This book is a nice combination of some facts from history, interesting personalities, few gossips and witty remarks. Perfect audiobook for boring households chores.

There‘s a lot of #heartache in this book but it‘s told in a snarky way. The audiobook was fun. #literarylove

This was a fun audiobook. I liked the authors other book, Get Well Soon, and her sense of humor. This one did not disappoint. I hadn't heard of most of the people in the book but that made it more fun to listen to. This was also my first book finished for the year. #audiobook #scribd #nonfiction #read

I‘m loving this one on audio! So funny. 😂😂 #currentlyreading

I attempted to start the book on the left as my next audiobook. I hadn't read a book in this series in a while. I had to give it up however due to the narrator. She was absolutely awful and made Peabody sound like a talking baboon. I decided to start the book on the right instead. I enjoyed the author's other book, Get Well Soon. So far the narrator is much more enjoyable! #audiobook #scribd #nonfiction

This was a really fun audiobook experience. The narrator had just the right snarky (when called for) tone. It was a quick run through of several "breakups" in history. The ones I liked the most were those with which I wasn't familiar already. #nonfiction2018 #audibooks

This was a great, fun, entertaining non fiction book about the most disastrous break ups in history. While the author is funny and sarcastic, it also took a serious look in gender roles and society expectations.

I went through a break-up this year. It‘s been coming for a while but it‘s still a huge blow to have a 7 year relationship just thrown away. All the garbage associated with this parting of ways with my former partner meant that my reading, reviewing, and mental health really suffered this year. But I‘m happy to say I‘m starting to move forward. Looking forward to getting back to some serious reading 😁

Buddhism .... Swifties .... you can find inspiration anywhere, really.

Pretty decent for July stats I think. Mostly because I read 3 books this past weekend in the #reversereadathon. Gotta start catching up on those #litsyclassics too. I've got some long ones I still need to tackle. Tagged is my first 5 star read of the month. A hilarious audiobook about the worst breakups in history. #julystats

This book was so funny, an interesting read about some serious tragedies accompanied by really funny asides from the author.

The subtle sarcastic asides in this book are amazing! 😂

More hilarity from Jennifer Wright

Just realized with all the chaos of a fun holiday weekend that I never tallied up my March stats, so here they are a few days late.

I listened to the rest of this book during my afternoon walk. It has received great reviews from a few people I trust, and I still enjoyed it more than expected. The author has a great sense of humor and makes the stories fascinating. She also includes some supportive commentary about dealing with breakups as she describes some of the most terrible ends to famous relationships in history.

This #audiobook is great so far! It‘s full of interesting information and the author‘s writing style is hilarious.

I originally saw it in a Litsy post (wish I could remember who to thank) and bought a copy for my cousin, whose name is actually Jennifer Wright, just as a fun book gift without really paying attention to ratings. She gave it an excellent review, and then I happened to see the audio available on #Hoopla.

1. It Ended Badly by Jennifer Wright
2. Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood
3. You Can‘t Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson
4. Sarah Pinborough (Behind Her Eyes)

🥂🎉

Not feeling this one, and I don't think I'm going to listen to the second half. Wright's other book, Get Well Soon, dove into more of the political and scientific side of things. This is just too gossipy for me.

I wanted to read something different after three back to back thrillers.

Just finished. I'm pretty sure it was written for audio and it was an enjoyable listen. Oddly the chapter on Edith Wharton had a couple of poignant messages for me, same with the epilogue. Has a lot of interesting history bits so I'd recommend it to anyone who likes odd history as well as those suffering from a break up.

Just started on Audible. Good writing and I'm only on the first story of Nero's bad break up!

It was funny and interesting, but forgettable in the end. I read it because it was on my tbr for several years 😂

I really loved this breezy book with brief glimpses into history I never knew about. I loved her sarcastic wit and writing style. It has whetted my appetite to learn more about some of the people talked about in this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recommended! #history

Yes! 🙌🏻 Can I get an amen ladies? #truthbomb

I stumbled across this while looking for books about Debbie Reynolds. Anyone else read this? Looks interesting 🤔#libraryhaul

This was a great breakup book focusing on couples from Ancient Rome up to relatively present day. It was really good as an audiobook too. The humour reminded my of Mary Roach which is always a good thing.

Historical craziness, humor, and excellent research all wrapped up in a delightfully conversational tone.

How has it taken me this long to realize the beauty of audiobooks?!?! This was my second and it has made my drive to work for the past few weeks so much more enjoyable.

If you've ever had a bad break up, this is the book for you. From Emperor Nero to Oscar Wilde to Edith Wharton to Debbie Reynolds...this book tells the stories of 13 break ups throughout history and all the crazy escapades that go along with them. I loved it! #biblioweekend

This feels like a fab gab sesh with my gal pals. What a dishy little read!

This was absolutely hilarious. The breakups were sad (I didn't realize Norman Mailer was such a jackass and now am disappointed he was in an episode of the Gilmore Girls) but Wright's writing had me literally laughing out loud. Loved it!

Meant to read a chapter or two before bed last night and read the whole damn book. If you like your history breezy and gossipy, this is the book for you.

This book is clearly going to be amazing.
