Welcome to Litsy!

This is a really well-written and fascinating behind-the-scenes book. Not superficial at all, but a very well-researched and in-depth look at the show, its production, the cast and it's cultural impact from then till now.

I've seen each episode like 50+ times, so this was refreshing for me to read into more details and it really interested me.

I really enjoyed it and I recommend to all Friends fans!

Book 267

Very good. Loved reading about the inside story of this much loved series and reliving familiar scenes.

Interesting read and bit of escapism. I‘ve learnt some new facts about one of my favourite shows

#friendswithbenefits #tropesinaugust @Klou

1. I miss all my friends!! I miss being close to people and giving hugs. I talk on the phone, zoom and of course I text, but it‘s not the same.

2. Quarantine has definitely given me the chance to read more and accomplish some of my TBR list.

I tagged the TV show FRIENDS because Quarantine has also given me the chance to rewatch every episode - even though I have seen them all 5,000 times!

Because I needed something fun after reafing Tattooist of Auschwitz!

Using the author‘s words, this book was like a “cozy blanket” I got to come home to every night. I started reading just as Friends left Netflix and it was exactly what I needed to fill the monicachandlerjoeyrachelrossphoebe size hole in my heart.

@kstadt929 what an amazing package!! I‘m really looking forward to #readinthenewyear with all of these great books! The bookmarks are all so cute! I can‘t wait to soak in tub while eating chocolate and reading one of these books! I hope you enjoy your box as well!! Thanks to @Chrissyreadit @MeganAnn for organizing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Loved this deep dive into my all time favorite TV show. It was so nice to revisit these characters.

I just finished watching the entire Friends series last week.

I know. I know. What have I been doing with my life?

While friends is absolutely problematic in 2019 this book was the perfect companion for finishing the series.

Can‘t wait to get into this one. It just came in the mail from Amazon!!

Misty sent me some beautiful doorways! For when one door closes, another opens somewhere else💟

🥰 you my friend 💗💗

I loved this nostalgic look back at the sitcom Friends. It offers great insider and behind the scenes stories of how the series was created and how some of the storylines can‘t to be. It analyzes the cultural phenomenon that Friends continues to be.

#MayMovieMagic I‘m #soclose to finishing this audiobook. It‘s a really in depth look at the behind the scenes actions and dealings of NBC, Must See TV, Friends and the writers and producers who worked to create the iconic show. Totally recommend for anyone who grew up on 90‘s television 📺

Time for my first #BFC “weigh” in😜Week 1
If I‘m #KeepingItReal I had some successes and a failure too 😔

My scorecard:
Fitness Goals - 1 ( need to improve during week 2)
Nutritional Goals - 3 ( can do better but off to a good start)
Book Goals - 4 (I finished 3 physical books & I‘m in the middle of 2 audio books 🤓🎧 tagged book is really good)

Overall Week 1 score 2.75

I thoroughly enjoyed this in-depth account of the pop-culture revolution that is “Friends”. Miller is clearly a fan of the show and her experience of watching it (perhaps obsessively) was similar to mine, but that didn‘t keep her from panning out to objectivity in order to deal with the perceived triumphs & abundant failings of something (not just TV, a phenomenon) that is truly larger-than-life. Well written and not gossipy—this was a lot of fun.

I don‘t think I‘ve ever enjoyed non-fiction this much. Admittedly, I couldn‘t BE a more ideal reader for this book.

My usual 'comfort food' TV show is 30 Rock. But Friends is helping me right now to get through hard times.

A shout-out to my hometown of Grand Forks, where I happen to be now. Also, why haven't I read Chuck Klosterman yet? Also, My So-Called Life was amazing.

I wish I could check out of real life and binge Friends in its entirety. I'm a third through the book and loving it. It's much more informative than I expected it to be.

Taking a cue from Kelsey Miller... I need to get 4 miles in today. This show (and book) makes me so happy!

Some comfort reading📖😊

1. I‘ve been in a few swaps and whatnot. 🤗
2. Last week by stepping out of my comfort zone and creating a Facebook page for my business. Also had something happen and handled it much differently that I expected.
3. Schwimmer knee without question he wanted to be an actor himself.
4. So late with this post so if anyone wants to join! 😋

Thank you for the tag @robinb 💕💕💕

I‘ve been slowly dipping in and out of this each morning with my coffee and it‘s been a delight to read. Sometimes I feel it‘s a little unfair to judge Friends by today‘s standards (is Friends really homophobic??? 🤔) but overall it was a fun, nostalgic read! 😊 Thank you for sending it to me @TrishB

I am beyond excited for this one!

I put together a nice little stack for #24in48 but so far I‘ve just been listening to the tagged book while I put clothes away into my new dresser.

My husband bought me Of Mice and Men because he was incredulous that I've never read it ... So I might prioritize that just to appease him 😉

I can‘t seem to focus on one or two books at the moment and these are ones I‘m going to try to spend most of my time on for #24in48 5 books plus an audiobook should keep me busy! 😋

Reading a book about Friends with a Friends Bookmark while watching Friends. Perfect evening! 💕 (I love the endpapers for this book!)

This is one of my cozy reading spots. I hope that I'll get a chance to be there tonight and read this book. I decided I had to read this book because I've loved the show Friends since it was originally on tv.

I just started reading this #arc from #netgalley and I‘m zipping through it! How old were you when Friends was on the air? I remember not being allowed to watch it because I was too young! ...But I totally watched it anyway...😆

I finished this at the weekend but have only just found time to review. Life doesn't seem to be stopping at the moment so you may just see review posts from me for a while until life slows down!
I really enjoyed this! Nostalgia at its best. I was a bit young when friends first aired so I missed a lot of the hype and juicy gossip which was included here. I do remember watching the finale at 15 with my mum and crying.

This is available on audio through Hoopla. I LOVED it! It‘s just like curling up with a blanket, a cup of coffee, and a best friend. I have to admit to not watching the series as regularly during the last few seasons when it originally aired, but I‘ve started binge watching over the past few days and I‘m appreciating it all over again, esp. with the added insight that this book provided.
💛💗💙

A little #bookhaul from B&N with a gift card from Christmas! I‘m so excited about the Friends book. One of my very favorite shows! 💕🤗

For the true Friends fan!

1. My Christmas present from my parents. I cried.
2. I've set my Goodreads to a big round 100 this year, and hope to read at least half of those from my current shelves!
3. Best: starting our wedding planning. Worst: auntie diagnosed with cancer. They caught it early enough to treat though.
4. Save!
5. Tagged is one of 3.

It seems like a good idea and is well written but I guess I'm kind of over the hype. While this does have a lot of information that probably isn't well known I feel like all the juicy inside info I can quickly look up. This isn't very "exciting" at least not where I decided to stop it which was a little over 100 pages.

Merry Christmas Littens! 🎄🎄🎄

Here‘s a little Bookish Christmas haul I got this morning from the family. 💕

#merrychristmas #christmasgoodies #bookishgoodies

#DMVlittens #jolabokaflodswap @MaleficentBookDragon

I love reading with my new kitty, Petra!

Well, @MinDea I can copy this right from your post because my all time favorite show is
1. Friends! Still watch with my daughters. Loved this show.
2. I‘m hoping to spend time at home with my family and I have way too many books I want to read before year‘s end.
3. Classics. I need to read more classics. What are your favorites?
4. Sleeping soundly.
5. I REALLY want a LITSY mug or tote. They are great!!!
#humpdaypost

Oh wow!! Thank you so much @TrishB for the awesome Christmas gifts! I can‘t wait for the school holidays to start so I can curl up with a coffee and this book and stay in the warm! 😊 ☕️ lovely gifts! Thank you! 😙

Well yesterdays total was just over 3 hours so I'm currently at 6 hours. Think I may need to try and read a bit more today. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I can't recommend this book enough. If you are a fan of friends, this is one for you. It was such a wonderful trip down memory lane and was just so neat to hear about the behind the scenes. It made me laugh, it made me sad, and I cant think of a better book to talk about this cultural icon that alot of us grew up with.

I cant get any work done today because I CANT STOP LISTENING TO MY AUDIO BOOK. It's so good!!!!! If you're a devoted friends fan, I highly recommend this book. It's a wonderful trip down memory lane.

I ordered these four books on Black Friday from Amazon. I couldn't resist because Bibliophile was half off and I had a coupon code.

I haven‘t posted in a while, so I need to catch up on the things that I have been reading. BUT, I had to drop everything else when I got word that THIS came in at my library!! I am a huge Friends fan, and can‘t wait to dive in to this one. I SHOULD be going to sleep right now, but I‘m sacrificing at least an hour because I can‘t bear to wait until I get home from work tomorrow 😂😂😂

I‘ve long enjoyed Miller‘s writing about body positivity/the anti-diet movement (including her memoir Big Girl), so I‘ve been looking forward to more from her...though I‘ll admit I didn‘t really feel like I needed a book about Friends in my life (despite loving the show back in the day)! But this was a well-written social history and an undeniably fun nostalgia trip that I will certainly recommend to many of my own (even non-bookish!) friends.
