The Thanksgiving Visitor | Truman Capote

pick

I read Truman‘s Christmas short stories every December so I thought it was time for a reread of this little gem for Thanksgiving. I love Miss Sook and the relationship she had with Truman. 4⭐️

My pumpkin pie cheesecake is all ready for tomorrow! Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American Litsy friends. Hope everyone enjoys their day! ☺️🧡🤗

The Swans of Fifth Avenue | Melanie Benjamin

March #wrapup

A good reading month. Graphic novels have been a big help in getting me out of a little slump. Stand outs of the month are Heidi and Swans of Fifth Avenue. Now for next month, hoping to read more novels.

#hyggehourreadathon

Totally forgot to post a pic from last night! I‘ve really been enjoying hygge hour as it‘s helping me get through my current stack of books. Just finished watching Feud, Capote and the Swans so I had to dive in further and find out more. Even though this is a fiction title it follows the show pretty closely.

TheBookHippie I loved this book! I have to figure out how to watch the show! 9mo

marleed This book began my Babe Paley obsession! And how did any of these people make it to 50 without dying of lung cancer!? 9mo

mrp27 @TheBookHippie I‘m really enjoying the book, just so fascinating and of course I‘ve gone down many a rabbit hole googling all the Swans. 9mo

mrp27 @marleed Right?! I also can‘t imagine smoking in a home that displayed fine art and antiques. I certainly feel an obsession brewing…… 9mo

The Swans of Fifth Avenue | Melanie Benjamin

so-so

Eh, not really for me (but finished for book group). I don‘t know any of these people, except Truman Capote but never knew all that much about him. Now I really don‘t. But this book was very confusing on audio, especially at first, and I didn‘t really like the casual changing of POV. Also, is the point to feel bad for rich people? Or at least for the nice one who ended up sick? #bookspin book at least!

mrp27 I‘m enjoying this as well! Also, good documentary on Capote on Hulu. 11mo

CarolynM I liked the first series. Looking forward to this one. 11mo

marleed I‘ve been obsessed with Babe Paley and company ever since I read the tagged back in 2016. They are fascinating. And the cigarettes- it‘s amazing that anyone in this orbit lived past 50! 🚬🏙️
