Welcome to Litsy!

This memoir was beautifully written but moved a bit slowly for me.

1. Blogs or Instagram
2. When I was little. At our house Yertle the Turtle was an interactive lesson
3. Little Women and Little Men, 2 books I got as a kid & still own
4. An Exact Replica of A Figment of My Imagination
5. Football, politics, family
6. Orange Is The New Black
7. Beatrix Potter books
8. Too many to list.
9. None
10. The father of a child I was babysitting @ 14 who asked why I never read any classics. So I started. #10questions

I can only handle short books right now so I grabbed this off the shelves. It's so sad but so good!

A quick read - or listen, in my case. Well written, sad, funny, beautifully put.

I read this book several years ago, in one sitting. It's a quick read, but still one of the most powerful books I've ever read. It destroyed and reconstructed me, all in just a couple hundred pages. I recommend this book all the time—McCracken is an incredible writer, and this is a gem of a memoir.

This book is indeed the happiest story with the saddest ending. It broke my heart and then patched it together with superglue.

Pretty sure I heard about this on one of the Book Riot podcasts sometime and immediately went out to grab it from the library. Might have scared a librarian 😂Cannot wait to read this. Thanks Book Riot for adding books to my TBR. One day, I will have a room like Liberty's office, cats included.

Finished this in one sitting. "The happiest story with the saddest ending." Her writing had me mesmerized. Learning about the grief after Pudding's death, her joy while carrying him, her LIFE... how "closure" is bullshit... had me laughing, nodding along, and crying with her. Definitely recommend.
