pickHe is such a precious soul. Readers go through his Hollywood life from The Fonz to Barry. The book clearly is his way of therapy - being raised by Jews who held guilt from escaping and leaving family in Europe in 39, his battle with dyslexia, his anxiety, and lack of self-worth.
The vulnerability that Mr. Winker shared kept me engaged. I didn't want to miss a detail of his growth. I love the fact that he doesn't resent his iconic role.
Merry Monday and Joyful first week of July 💙🩵💙
Since I retired, Monday is muted for me! I will be reading a backlog of #BOTMs this week and enjoying family and fireworks as well. what about you?

pick#JuneSpecials Day 16: Abdul is a storyteller – except he hesitates to call himself as one. He finds it difficult to pin down the words that would express the images in his mind. The image above even suggests that Abdul may be suffering from dyslexia or undiagnosed #LearningDisability #LrngDisability. Eventually, Abdul discovered that the mistakes, misspelled words are part of what it means to be a storyteller. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-owi
pickI vaguely remember the repeats of 'Happy Days' but I was much more interested in spin-off 'Mork & Mindy' (shazbot!) in which the much-missed Robin Williams was absolutely hilarious. I digress, so anyway this is the autobiography of Henry Winkler, best known as 'The Fonz' (Ayyy) in Happy Days.
Winkler has been in a lot more than just 'Happy Days', not things that I have tended to watch in the main but I remember him in 'Scream'. (Continued)
I finished five books over Memorial Day weekend (all but one I had already started and was in various stages of completion before Friday). But #JumpStartSummer gave me an excuse to buckle down and finish them! All of these were good in different ways. And I still have a big stack of books to get me though early summer!
repost for @Liz_M;
In the US, summer is bookended by two holiday weekends: Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, and Labor Day, the first Monday in September. 14 weeks.
I challenge you to read 14 books between May 26 and Sep 1, which some of you may remember fondly as #14Books14Weeks.
Show me your stacks!
