pick1-29-23: My 11th finished book of 2023! Leslie wrote so freely about his life it was easy to read this in less than 24 hours. A lot of his personal stories about his life were surprising. Growing up as a gay man in Chattanooga, Tennessee sounded difficult but he loved his parents and it seems like they accepted him which is so nice to hear. He does dish on some fun stuff in the entertainment world, as well, and he is very funny while doing it.
1-28-23: Great start! Poor Leslie…gone way too soon. 😢
Like many people, I‘ve become a little obsessed with Leslie Jordan during the past months. 😍
1. Yes, I vote each election now. I have already dropped off my ballot. Women protested & argued for voting rights for so many years. This last year, our governor‘s race came down to 5,000 votes—our Covid story would be different if the other guy had won.
2. I got to travel! A few days off was much-needed.

I should be working, but I‘m unmotivated atm. So, I‘m catching up on posts instead. I forgot to put this in my review, but I was so excited about this part because I know Erin Chandler and her family! She has written 2 books & I‘ve had them both signed. I also know her cousins from my camp. Her family is well-known in Ky due to politics. It‘s cool to actually see someone I know mentioned in a book.
pickDuring the last few months, like many people, I have become a little obsessed with Leslie Jordan on Insta. A few weeks ago, I realized he had written a book about 12 years ago & ordered it. Last night I needed some light reading. I really enjoyed this—it‘s funny but also serious when he talks about his past drug use & struggling with his homosexuality. There‘s a chapter about Matt Lauer, which is awkward now. Overall, a fun read.
