Welcome to Litsy!

Making cinnamon sugar pretzels for my nephew's birthday BBQ tomorrow. I may have to sneak myself a couple before I pack them up. I'm not the biggest fan of audio books but thought I'd give this one a whirl and it's not half bad.

This is by the author of Fried Green Tomatoes, which is one of my favorite movies, and one of the rare occasions where I think the movie is better than the book. This story was funny and cute, but had a VERY dated feel even though it's only 11y/o and was not PC towards little people. I did laugh a few times, but, sadly, this was just barely a pick for me. #Towanda

This was a very good book! Dramatic, comical, mysterious, and so engaging. It started off in such an odd way that I just had to keep reading. I would definitely recommend!

Yet another good Fannie Flagg book. I've found a new auto buy author. This story was far different from her other two books I read but still hilarious and full of strong women. I really think her writing would appeal to all different types of reads espicaly us Southern women.

Am I the only Litten who listens to some audiobooks in her car on CDs. Hope not! 🤓 Oh this book! I laughed out loud at stoplights and dabbed my tears in traffic. Hilarious and heartwarming story about a former Miss Alabama who wonders whether her hopeless life is really worth living. The diverse characters are a hoot plus Fannie always adds in a mysterious secret to solve. So good it #shouldhavebeenamovie #seasonsreadings2016 @RealLifeReading

Fannie Flagg spoke at the Lyric Theatre tonight. What a fun night. My mother really liked Fanny as a writer. This was the last book my mom read before she passed away. Fanny was kind enough to sign the book to her. ❤️📚❤️ #IStillDreamAboutYou

Here's my attempt at #spinepoetry #readathon :
I still dream about you,
When we were friends,
My heart laid bare,
Behind the Secret Window..

Just wanted to give a shout out to another #getindie bookstore in Escondido, California. Meet Gail at The Book Mark, a paperback book exchange store that's been around since 1975. I've put a lot of creases in many paperbacks over there. Gail is the owner's daughter in law and she loved hearing all about us Littens. She's not on Litsy yet, but she will be! Plus, I found this audiobook by Fannie Flagg there that I just HAD to have. 🤓📚

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I just realized that of my nine most recent books, there are eight by #womenwriters . #septphotochallenge #kindle #ebooks

I finished Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell yesterday : (
and happened to be visiting with my parents. My mom handed me I Still Dream About You and as I really liked Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistlestop Café I decided to give it a try. So far it's a quirky warm read ?

" think of all the senior discounts she had to look forward too, not to mention Social Security , Medicare or Medicaid. So what if she was afraid to grow old? Big Whoop-de-doo. Who wasn't? She wasn't alone. "

Back on the Fannie Flagg train!!

Je viens de le commencer. J'ai un peu de mal à rentrer dans l'histoire.
