I didn't know that the Thanksgiving game halftime show was a thing, but I'm glad it was this year! Jack White is a top-tier guitarist and musician, and as a basic white man, I just can't resist a rock guitar/hip-hop mash-up 😜

Suet624 From the White Stripes to the Raconteurs to today, Jack White is a go to for me. I play many of his concerts as background music. I was happy to see him giving Meg some props recently. She deserves it. now

I've just finished this absolutely marvellous graphic biography of the Mitford family. What an incredible, talented, hot mess they were! Recommended heartily.

#Read2025 #MonthlyNonFiction #SheSaid

Finished this morning for #SundayBuddyRead this was a engaging memoir about an amazing woman. A gifted artist & writer, this book focuses on her time with Pablo Picasso & could be titled “Surviving Picasso” who was a giant ass hat man baby. It‘s hard to separate the frustration with the man from his art, but the real interest in book is Francoise‘s perspective on his art & her own. Thanks to the fabulous ⬇️

DebinHawaii … hosting & research of the wonderful Christine @thebookhippie the book was even better brought to life & I learned so much about Gilot & the other artists of the times. Therese background of this review is one of my favorites of hers, Paloma à la Guitare, a picture of her daughter Paloma. Truly a fascinating book. 2d
TheBookHippie I loved it so much. 2d

vlwelser That's a great painting. I really like her stuff. I was maybe a little surprised that she seems to have basically imitated other peoples styles for quite a while. But she was also 40 years younger than this creepy old man. I'm guessing this one is from later on. 2d
DebinHawaii @vlwelser Sotheby‘s says it was painted in London in 1965. 2d
vlwelser After she went on her own path. Good for her. I approve. 2d

#sundaybuddyread Thank you @TheBookHippie for bringing this book to our attention!

I learned a lot about Picasso from this book. If he wasn't a famous artist, he would have been labeled a creeper. His art was amazing. The man himself was a narcissist man-baby. Gilot's writing flowed well, and I was absorbed into her story. I would have liked a book about her later years. Her personal evolution was fascinating. She grew so much.

mcctrish I can‘t believe how long we had to wait for her to leave!!! Every time she circled back to a moment before to add more details - she seemed to do that a bit more towards the end - I‘d be yelling what was the final straw!!! 2d
Eggbeater @mcctrish I did a lot of yelling out loud throughout the book. 2d
