Welcome to Litsy!

I started to write a #LitsyLove letter today, and then thought….I am going to have to say this hard thing over and over and I don‘t want to- so I will just say it here once, mostly for all the lovely pen pals with whom I share the minutiae of daily life. My Aunt San passed on April 19, with my brother Tom & I at her side. She had critical congestive heart failure, which she downplayed for several weeks before it got the best of her. ⬇️

So good! Loved on #audio as she read it and it was wonderful to hear it in her iconic voice. I loved the musical recording pieces they added into the audiobook. What an amazing creative life she has led, I am so thankful for the art that she has put into the world. She is a national treasure! #BookspinBingo Counting as two spaces since it was 48 hours long! @TheAromaofBooks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am loving this on #audio read by the author. So delightful!

#WhatsNewWednesday…..I‘m only about 10% into this audiobook and loving it…what‘s new is, once again, I‘m experiencing book synchronicity…Barbra just mentioned I‘ll Cry Tomorrow…the memoir written by Lillian Roth. I didn‘t know she was in a play with her. I loved that book and read it about a year and a half ago.

At 48hrs this is a longgg audiobook. I loved the first half; her childhood in Brooklyn in the 1950s, trying to make it on Broadway then working with Gene Kelly in big MGM musicals in the 60s. The second half was more of a slog. It‘s exhaustive and exhausting at times. Still… it‘s Barbra Streisand so what did I expect?! 😂

@Kar2b theoretically there tomorrow. #foundfamilyswap @KateReadsYA

48hrs?! Ok Barb, let‘s do this! 😉

My package for the #foundfamilyswap is here Tamara- it just took me until today to post. I had to put it out of reach so it joined my St. Pats Day decorations. I‘m so happy we were paired- and I‘m really enjoying this Theme! If all goes well your package will be mailed tomorrow- or Monday. #litsyfoundfamilyswap
