Welcome to Litsy!

Not my favorite Conroy. The descriptions of Charleston were long-winded and boring; and quite frankly, annoying. But the story, oh man, what a story! It was compelling, ugly, thought provoking, gripping, and worth reading.

Starting my first #AllergicToChunksters of the year which also is my April #DoubleSpin and a #BookSpinBingo book. I love when the reading challenge stars align ☺️

This heartfelt collection of Conroy‘s most touching blogs, speeches & interviews is certainly a fitting tribute to this most loved author. Though he passed away almost a decade ago, Pat‘s legacy still lives on in his autobiographical novels. He loved writing, though never considered himself anywhere near the high ranks of his own favorite authors. Above all, Pat adored meeting his fans & listening to their stories.

This description of Pat Conroy‘s stunning writing style says it all. 😍

It‘s time for my monthly #BookishMonopoly! I rolled another lucky 7 and landed on “Nonfiction.” Since I was so enamored by Pat Conroy‘s beautiful writing last month, I chose the tagged book. It was published in 2016, sadly the year Pat lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. It‘s a collection of Pat‘s most charming and memorable interviews, articles & letters as well as tributes honoring his legacy. He left us too soon. 😢

I‘m finally getting to this book…the only one of Pat Conroy‘s books (except for The Boo which is impossible to get) that I‘ve never read. It‘s so…final. 😢

I love Pat Conroy and his ability to tell a story, but even he can‘t get me to love a basketball memoir. Sorry Pat, it‘s me not you.

This was my #backlistreadathon title from August. Next time I‘ll stick to his novels.

Not feeling the greatest today, but the weather is so nice. I parked myself here in the shade where I can read and nap in peace for a few hours.

Is anyone else seeing every post 3 times on the Litsy app today?
