Definitely a bleak start to this book for #SundayBuddyRead

I‘m getting Bukowski vibes 😅

November was a good reading month for me with 15 books read & 2 started-but sadly, not much progress with my Women Who Run with the Wolves reread.🩶🐺

I finished books for #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR

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 ⬇️

#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.
