Am I wrong here to think it should be “used to *spend*” ?

I‘m still not even 70% into this book and I‘ve been reading it FOREVER. The story itself is compelling. Joan‘s a vile bitch. But man, couldn‘t someone have edited this book? It‘s so unnecessarily long and detailed, to the point of being painful. #hollywood #movember

#mammamia made me think of this book I read as a teen. I hoovered it up and thought all mothers were probably monsters - at the time I wasn‘t all that impressed with my own one! Far too long ago for me to recommend this to anyone else. Have any Littens read it more recently?
Watching on TV - one of my favorite movies that I watched with my mom. We would quote the movie and laugh. It‘s so sad to remember that Christina actually lived through this torture. I never read the book so - it‘s officially on the TBR. #NoWireHangersEver
Heads up!! I've been wanting to read this book for forever and it's on sale on kindle today for $1.99! Remember...no...more...wire...hangers...EVER! 😱😅P.S. As a disclaimer I tend not to believe Christina Crawford's version of events in its entirety, but I've always wanted to read the book anyway just to see exactly what she says. Always been a fan of Joan Crawford's movies. ❤️

My mom was pretty jealous of my Secret Santa gifts so as I was shopping for Secret Cupid I did a little shopping for her as well and gifted her with this last night. She had a pretty intense surgery today (all is well!) and I was happy to give her a few books to enjoy during her recovery.
Sorry I haven't been posting about books lately! I've finished a few and will update soon but haven't had a moment to put coherent thoughts together.

This popped into my mind this morning. I remember reading this book and joking at work...”NO WIRE HANGERS”. What a nighmare of a Mom.
My Birthday week is here! 🎉 For the first day of my birthday week photo challenge, find some books that were #PublishedTheYearYouWereBorn my year is 1978 and there are a few we'll known books published that year. These are three of them.... and confession time, I've never read any of them. 🙊

My sister picked up this copy of Mommie Dearest. We LMAO'd over the inscription, "Merry Christmas Mom". That must have been an interesting Christmas morning!
Joan Crawford is the ultimate drama queen and so are the women of Valley of the Dolls

Confession time: I am absolutely obsessed with Joan Crawford. I think she's a phenomenal actress and she's gorgeous (and has perfect eyebrows). Therefore, I refuse to read or watch Mommie Dearest, because I don't want my image of her to be tainted. Narrow-minded? Perhaps. But she's just so talented. #BooksAboutMothers #MayBookFlowers
A different take on #booksaboutmothers. 😱 #maybookflowers This is apparently a real and highly-collectible doll. Happy Mother's Day!
I've been catching up with Bette and Joan. It's so good. I'd love to read Mommy Dearest, but I can't find it anywhere. Any ideas of where I might get lucky and find a copy?
My adopted mother was a strong woman who disregarded social norms to take care of her family.. Stood her ground against an abusive husband to make sure her little boys grew up in a loving home.. She taught me that I didn't need a man and encouraged my independence... 💖💖💖 #influentialwomen @LitsyFeministBookClub @TheNextBook @rachelm
