1) I might use either of my teen-age nicknames, both based on fictional characters: Esme and/or Molly

2) tagged - though most people in Germany pronounce my name "Yoollya" ??

TheSpineView Interesting way to pronounce your name. Thanks for playing! 5mo

julesG @TheSpineView A "J" is pronounced like a "Y" (as in you, young, yeah) in German, I don't mind that so much. But even as a native speaker of German I still don't understand why the first syllable is shortened and the "I+A" turns into "Y+A" in most mouths, especially after I've pronounced my name as "YouLeeAh" (exaggeration). Maybe I should change my first name after all. ?? 5mo

What a shame about Julie Powell. My cousin Stephanie was Julia Child‘s personal assistant for many years before Ms Child died. One night my husband and I were watching a CNN special about Julia Child and up popped my cousin talking about her!

jlhammar Yes, really sad and shocking. How neat about your cousin. What an interesting experience that must have been! 2y

I was so sad to learn of Julie Powell‘s passing. I read Julie & Julia in my favorite class in college, and loved every minute of it. It was snarky and hilarious, but also really beautiful and poignant. I always point to the chapter this quote comes from when I try to sell this book. Powell spends an exhausting day searching all over NYC for a marrow bone for a recipe. When she finally gets it home, she realizes she has no way to actually…(cont‘d)

Julsmarshall So sad 😭 2y

Maggie4483 …get the marrow OUT of the marrow bone. But when she finally sits down to eat, this is her reaction. What was significant about this day of struggle, followed by a moment of joy and triumph for Powell (whose day job involved assisting 9/11 victims and their families in an office directly across the street from Ground Zero)? This all happened on September 11, 2002. (edited) 2y

Maggie4483 @Julsmarshall I know😢. I don‘t usually get emotional over the deaths of celebrities/authors/public figures, but this one got me. 2y

I finished reading this book on Oct. 26 — which, as it turns out, was the same day that Julie Powell died of cardiac arrest at the way-too-young age of 49. Some reviewers complained that the book was too snarky — but I adore snark, so this totally worked for me.

AmyG I just saw this. So sad. She was so young. 😢 2y

so-so

I found Julie Powell to be very whiny, pessimistic & woe-is-me. This was supposed to be about her experience with making every recipe in Julia Child‘s Mastering the Art of French Cooking cookbook. Most of the time, she hardly ever talked about the recipe she was cooking in that chapter & mostly talked about how terrible her life is. I didn‘t think it was terrible, she did start to grow on me the more I read. But ultimately, I DNF‘d it this time.

So I just finished my third re-read of this book. I'm not sure if I like Julie Powell or not. I feel like we would be besties or couldn't stand each other. She is whiney, self-absorbed, and dramatic - all the things I despise. BUT she is entertaining, aware of her issues, and is willing to laugh at herself. Plus we both say the word “fuck“ a lot. Who am I kidding, we'd be besties - opposites attract.

I don‘t know how long I‘ve had this book but I hesitated to read it because of the low rating. I should have gone with my gut. I got 122 pages in and can‘t take Julie any more. She‘s whiny, rude, frustrating, over dramatic...Maybe I‘ll watch the movie again instead.

I liked it. Sure, Powell‘s snarky sense of humour and tendency towards histrionics won‘t be to everyone‘s taste, but what is? Julie And Julia is a good, quick read that – if you‘re anything like me – will inspire you to pick up the tongs instead of ordering UberEats for the fourth night in a row.

It looks like my #bookspin book will be Julie & Julia! I've seen the movie a ton of times so it's about time I finally read the book. I think I'm going to try to take advantage of the #doublespin as well. This one hasn't been on my TBR long but I'm hoping that the darker fantasy will fit in with my #WIHM reads 😈

vivastory I loved it for the reasons people hate it 😂 I loved Six of Crows, but this is a darker & I think more complex story. It's a hybrid of horror/fantasy/mystery. It shouldn't work, but it does. And it's amazing. 5y

I‘m in love! I say this a lot but Julie is my new bff - a compulsive planning millennial angst ridden buffy fan pushing herself to do her cooking challenge vibed so well with me. If you‘ve seen the film, this is a very different beast (much less Julia Child content), but I think they‘re both excellent in their own way. The author reads the audiobook really well, and it was funny and inspiring!

AmyK1 I loved the movie. Haven‘t read the book yet though. 5y

Emilymdxn @amyk1 I think this is a good one for the book and movie being so different it‘s easy to love both without comparing them so i think it‘s a great one to do both! 5y

I loved the hell out of this book. It captures everything I feel about food and cooking. Food can be such a sexy thing. Preparing it. Cooking it. Eating it. When it‘s good; It‘s a religious experience. I liked the language and the rawness. It‘s a winner for me.

It takes skill and craft to be able to write the intimate details of your life for others to read (especially when it‘s an average kind of life you live) while managing to find an overarching message that others can grow and learn from, but Julie Powell did. Cooking her way through Julia Child‘s Mastering the Art of French Cooking (524 recipes in 365 days) and blogging it, she shares a journey peppered with profanity, humor and self-deprecation.

LauraBeth Agree @ReadingEnvy! I read her original blog too when she started it and while that was quite a few years ago, I thought she came across as narcissistic and not very respectful of Child (this is based on my poor memory though 😹). I eventually quit reading it before her year was over. 6y

ReadingEnvy @LauraBeth yeah she is like the quintessential millennial of selfishness and bad reputation 6y

I missed this one when it was new. I missed it when it was adapted for film — with Meryl Streep, no less. Then I put up that Julia Child quote while I was cooking dinner one night and a friend of mine said “Say, did you ever happen to read/see Julie and Julia...”. I‘m glad she did, because I had a lot of fun with this. It‘s funny and irreverent and disgusting and relatable. Hooray random book recs!

"I have never looked to religion for comfort—belief is just not in my genes. But reading Mastering the Art of French Cooking—childishly simple and dauntingly complex, incantatory and comforting—I thought this was what prayer must feel like."

Only on the first chapter and I am already feeling this will be terrible. This is just one example of the ridiculous writing, so far. Also, mental illness slurs have already been covered. So, great start!

Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously | Julie Powell

I watched this movie yesterday and it put me in a baking mood. So, I made a berry galette for my hubby. I would love to cook my way through her book like Julie does.

TaylorMay That sounds like so much fun! I love cooking shows. I'm currently obsessed with the Great British Bake Off. 7y

Foragingfantasy @TaylorMay I haven't seen that one, but I love chopped and iron chef! 7y

TaylorMay You should totally look it up!! I lovw both those shows too. This one is a little less cut throat but still really good. There is an American version that they do during the holidays but it's not quite the same. 7y

Such a fun read! I literally laughed out loud multiple times while reading...perfect remedy for surviving a semi-insane work week (a food show one at that). And seriously, how many books have both a Jane Austen reference AND a reference to "the prematurely canceled Joss Whedon outer space-western series"?!
