My Life: It's a Long Story | 
pickYou owe it to yourself to read a glorious retelling of a career by the legend himself. It has all the pace of a Sunday afternoon coffee with the man, and his tales are spoken so pleasantly, even when he had every right to be angry as hell. Because as he says: rainbows are a reminder that miracles are all around us. I couldn't be more happy to have read this, and I'm glad to not put it off any longer
This is by far one of the saddest endings I've come to in the books I've read. Sadder than Mockingjay. Even Of Mice and Men. Because it's been a glorious 375 page conversation with a living legend that had great highs (phrasing), and deep sullen lows, through all of which the man has made himself a wonderful career. Reading this recollection of woes and tribulations was by far one of the greatest reads I've ever had.
I love this book for his brash recollection of events in his own voice.

Walk in‘ with Willie.

I‘m not some massive #WillieNelson fan, but I enjoyed the hell out of his story. Prior to this, I was not familiar with his early career at all. I didn‘t realize he was such a prolific songwriter. His long career and tumultuous personal life are definitely worth your time. It will surprise no one that he‘s an amazing storyteller.
@AJones - here are the finished products! It was way too much work, but the boys and I had fun. They did a great job helping.
PS. I‘m enjoying the hell out of this #WillieNelson book. He‘s quite the storyteller.
Tie-dyeing some shirts and listening to this #WillieNelson memoir. I randomly grabbed it from #Overdrive and it‘s a great listen so far! I feel like all I‘m missing is a fat joint. 😆

so-soIt's a Long Story: My Life by Willie Nelson 3.5* I have less in common with Willie Nelson than I expected to. His lack of moral conviction with relation to sleeping with other women while married really became tiresome. What an unapologetic cheater. He briefly mentioned his four wives and seven children. I most enjoyed hearing about old songs and their origins. I hated that this wasn't read by Willie on Audible.

Hubby's shelves to the rescue again 😀
pickI love this man. His music. His stories. His words. His spirit.
pickI learned a lot about Willie through this book and having already read some of his other books, I thought I knew quite a bit of his bio already. Turns out, I didn't. He is a great story teller and there are PLENTY OF things to be told yet he does it in a way that is respectful of the people involved. The only complaint I have is there are A LOT OF SONG LYRICS. They didn't have to give the whole song every time. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
#4 book in the #24hourReadathon @DeweysReadathon
See, this is what happens. I go in the library to pay my fines and I carry out an armful with the librarians laughing at me because they KNOW I walked in only to pay fines, not to get more books. This happens EVERY TIME. #IHaveABookProblem
