Welcome to Litsy!

An amazing life. Whether you liked her or not, she was in the business over 60 years. I hadn‘t realized how much she went through and all her highs and lows.

This book isn't written by Joan Rivers, and is written after her death - which is why I think it has more honesty to it. It doesn't hold back, it is honest and direct about her life. It goes over the lies Joan Rivers told herself and others, and the insane hardships she faced as one of the first female comics. When she was midlife, her husband killed himself and she found herself millions in debt, story goes over how she fought her way back up.

I'm currently about halfway through it, and although I'm enjoying the behind-the-scenes look at Joan's tumultuous life, I'm finding that I'm reading it rather slowly and not completely engaged. Did anyone else have a similar experience? Thanks!😊

Wow.

I knew nothing about Joan Rivers when I picked this book up. Though her humor is 100% not my style, I was moved (literally to tears) to learn about Joan and her trailblazing life. I wish I could read a book this detailed and introspective about every person on earth.

Published 2016. Love her or hate her-she had a colorful life!

#TBRtemptation post! Still can't believe she passed away. During Joan's 60-year career, she had highs and lows: her husband's suicide, her feud with Johnny Carson, her daughter'a estrangement, her plastic surgeries, her Red Carpet domination, her comedy, her ferocious ambition, her massive insecurities. Perhaps the definitive book on all things Joan, an entertainment icon who helped women break barriers! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Next up! (since there are holds on it). 👋🏻

Snow storm is coming. Had to make sure I had plenty of books to read. This is just one of five books I got today to keep me occupied. I got so excited about getting books that I forgot to get groceries. Oh well. 😉

This was the @Litsy swap table! (Those cookies were delish!)
