Betty White was a delight as was this book! The audiobook was read by BW herself. It was lovely to hear her voice and her stories. She was such a positive person and the world‘s a little dimmer with her loss. When I grow up, I wanna be just like her!4/5⭐️

I just adore Betty White! She's so down to earth and funny. This was a great slice of life, talking about some of her later projects, interactions with fans, and her love of animals. Even after so many years of fame she shows humility and gratitude for her successes

I‘ve had this book on my kindle forever, but decided to see if Libby had the audio version, and they do! It was nice hearing Betty‘s words in her own voice. I‘ve always loved her, and still want to be her when I grow up. This short and sweet book is a collection of personal stories, observations, and musings. Basically, it‘s Betty being Betty, and IMO, she may be the most awesome human to ever have humaned. 🤣

Betty White. 'Nuff said.
One of the few audiobooks I actually stuck with.

Betty is so down to earth and lovable and this 6th book is no exception. Easy to read/listen to and makes me feel like we are now friends.
Sweet and gentle life musings from everyone‘s favorite grandma. I loved this glimpse into Betty White‘s life. She‘s passionate about animals and her television work. She certainly has a optimistic view of life and this was a quick breath of fresh air.
I love Betty White! I used to watch The Golden Girls every Saturday night with my great grandmother! So many memories ❤️

Short book, but good to hear her voice!
Expand Your Horizons 2022 Task featuring Betty White
Quick read featuring many short vignettes of thought and memories. Written 10 years before her death yet mirroring how busy she was still working/acting and advocating for the animals in her life and around the world. Delightful. The world lost a great human in her passing, but I have every faith that her legacy lives on.
Anyone who was lucky enough to actually talk to Betty White, to hear her stories first hand and gain every wisdom she was willing to share, was very lucky indeed. And also must be feeling that loss incredibly. This book is a collection of small thoughts and wisdoms that anyone can take into their life in some way or another. #10-2022
Oh boy am I going to miss you Betty White. I loved this this look into her two passions - television and animals. It was nice to hear her voice and enjoy her humor.

What a special person Betty White was… I loved this short little book, narrated by Betty herself. It‘s about life, Hollywood, writing and of course, animals. Betty, you are sorely missed.
My third finish for #joyousjanuary
Drawing inspiration and motivation from Betty today, on what would‘ve been her 100th birthday.
I miss her.
Job interview later this afternoon, let‘s hope they can pick up on my passion for the work I could be responsible to do!
I am glad this was my first foray back into audiobooks! Listening to her speak her own words was like sitting down to chat with an old friend. The loss of Betty White will be felt for a while…
Betty White was a great lover of people and animals. She will be very missed.
What a rare gem we‘ve lost. Be prepared to cry a little (or a lot) 💔

I will tag anyone who wants to play and hasn‘t yet!!
There are not enough words to talk about this book. I listened to the audiobook and it was an amazing experience to listen to the author tell her stories. I have loved Betty White all my life, but knew very little about her life. I loved hearing her behind the scenes stories about all the shows and movies she has done. I also loved listening to her talk about her husband and all her animals. She was quite the lady!! Highly recommend!!
💙💙💙💙💙
Since one of my bookish goals is to give audiobooks another shot… I thought that this one would be a good one to start with!
I can‘t resist frequent checking to see what‘s new in the Libby database at the library. Before setting the filter to limit my search to audiobooks, I noticed the latest issue of People magazine is at the top of the list. 😕
Rest In Peace Betty… you will be greatly missed. 😢
My heart breaks with the news but I am still in awe of the life Betty lead. She was and continues to be an inspiration. RIP Betty White.
A warm light has gone out of the world. She had a long and incredible life, but that doesn‘t stop the tears today. Rest In Peace, Betty. You were, and always will be so very loved. 💔💔💔
Thank you for being a friend Betty.

I love Betty White, but this book is not a must read. It's full of fun little stories and anecdotes, however, I wasn't blown away by them. Perfect if you're looking for a light, easy read though!
My Rating: 2/5
I wanted to love this book like I love Betty White... but I did not. Lots of short random stories and anecdotes. It was a short listen coming in at just over 2 hours. I will give one of her other books a try sometime, though. I would like to learn more about her life. This just really wasn't it.
A book club read. I really like Betty White in shows, and in interviews she seems genuinely nice, and her book reinforces that belief for me. Easy, light, very positive. Not very in depth, and while organized by topic, still felt a bit unorganized, but some good reminders of how to be a good friend, good professional, good person.

I laughed a lot during this quick listen. I wish this one had been a bit longer, but that just means I‘ll have to look for all of Betty‘s other books😉
Cute little book, full of amusing anecdotes. Nothing deep or profound, just observations from her life and time in show business. 3 💥💥💥
5/10 #bookbuyingdiet
Woo Hoo!!! I'm half way finished with book buying moratorium!!
Anyone ever have this problem? I am trying to move this book from TBR to now reading but I keep getting this message. Any other book comes up just fine, but this one keeps blocking me. I've never seen this before. Any suggestions??
I listened to this on audio. It was a treat hearing it read in Betty‘s own voice. I appreciate her simplicity & sincerity after all of her decades of fame and fortune. This is an easy, feel good choice!
This is so cute! Excited to start it, I mean it‘s Betty White what more can I say?
I mean, it's Betty White. Definitely gonna check out her other audiobooks!
⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Just what I need to fight off #covid19 doldrums! #currentread #currentlyreading #audiobook #readingwithmyears
I did this as an audiobook and it was read by Betty herself. I really enjoyed it. Each chapter is a different random subject and she tells stories from throughout her life. I love her humor and her positive outlook on things. I think it was even better since she did read it, as you get her tone with the words and not what a different reader thinks is the tone, if that makes sense.

A really short audiobook. I love Betty White. I‘m going to see if I can get more of her books. #wintergames #TheFilthyAnimals @Clwojick @StayCurious
This is an impulse read.
If you love Betty White, you‘ll enjoy this book full of essays on her thoughts and life. I highly recommend the audio version as she‘s so fun to listen to. I love that she seems so down to earth and genuine.
And #TIL that she‘s a big poker player and plays regularly with a group, and the winner gets a trophy (which they have to bring back the next game or face a $2000 penalty).

Who doesn‘t love Betty White?! ❤️ This is a gem full of essays read by Betty.
#TIL Betty only intended on doing the pilot of Hot in Cleveland. She had told the producers her schedule was too full to commit to anything more. Luckily, she didn‘t stick to that. 😀

I love Betty White!!! This is a short and sweet book. Loved it on audio bc she narrates. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ good soul.
I love Betty White. She is that sweet grandma, that, at least after you read this, you're slightly worried about. She cracks me up. I did laugh out loud a few times! But, the stories are short and random. Based on the title, I should have been more ready for that. I didn't know that she had already written many books and that writing is a passion for her. I just stumbled across this one. Recommend if you love Betty and need a little laugh.
