Wildflower | Drew Barrymore

Today I finished my 40th book of the year and I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would. Every chapter is short and sweet and filled with Barrymore‘s playful storytelling. It covers all aspects of her life from her early years, her family life, some of the cool films she‘s made, and her work in Africa which I thought was so inspiring. #DrewBarrymore #Wildflower

morevna When does a book qualify as a chunkster? Also, I love this term 😍😂 7y

Jess7 Haha! Thanks! I‘ve seen other people use the term. I‘m not 100 percent sure — but it was thick. I think it might have been over 600 pages but I‘m not 100 percent on what qualifies - maybe just whatever you consider large? 🤗 @morevna 7y

britt_brooke @jess7 Great month! I consider anything over 500 pages a chunkster, but I think it‘s subjective. 😄 @morevna 7y

Karkar I think it is totally subjective. I think anything over 500 pages is a chunkster. 7y

laurenlovesliterature 😮😮😮😮👏👏👏👏 7y

Jess7 Thanks this only happens when my previous month‘s stats were like 2-4 books — bc a lot of these were started the previous month. I always have like 2, then 11, then 3 or 4, etc... Low months followed by high months lol @laurenlovesliterature 7y

so-so

3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars - I listened to the audiobook of #Wildflower by #DrewBarrymore over the course of two days. I enjoyed the content, but I think I would have liked it a lot better in print, which is not typical for me with memoirs. I didn‘t like the non-linear timeline. She seemed a little out of touch and her overdone dramatic voice (and screaming—so much screaming) drove me crazy. It was okay, but I like her better in interviews. #jpbookreview

Wildflower | Drew Barrymore

Has anyone read Drew Barrymore‘s book #Wildflower? I just watched her on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” and I love her! 🤗 💙 She came across extremely relatable, real, and funny. I am moving this book higher on my #TBR list.

Wildflower: “Award-winning actress Drew Barrymore shares funny, insightful, and profound stories from her past and present told from the place of happiness she's achieved today...” #toberead

Caroline2 Me too! Whenever I have seen her in interviews, she comes across as so down to earth and lovely! Have you seen ‘riding in cars with boys‘? It‘s my fave Drew Barrymore film! ❣ 7y

Jess7 Yes, I have. I liked her before, but after watching her on this talk show, I really, really like her! I always appreciate it when a people are honest and down-to-earth. She talked about gaining weight in between projects, and how a woman came up to her and said you‘re obviously expecting, and she was like yeah, that woman was a b****. I‘m not retelling it well, but it came off so honest. @Caroline2 7y

Caroline2 Yes!! I heard that story too!!! How are embarrassing!!! 😧 why say anything? I would be mortified!!!! 7y

Paula3 I listened to it and loved her outlook on life! Great read. If you can do the audio as it's read by Drew. 7y

RaimeyGallant It's on my tbr, but I'm not drawn to it... 7y

whatrebeccasread I love Drew Barrymore but wasn't wowed by her book! 7y

ErikasMindfulShelf I have a signed copy of Wildflower but haven‘t read it yet. 7y

MallenNC I just read it. I liked it and if you like her you probably will like it too. It's not a linear autobiography, just a series of stories from her life. 7y

JenReadsAlot I listened to it and was pleasantly surprised! 7y

Stellina I enjoyed Wildflower. I thought it would be pretty sad, knowing her history, but was pleasantly surprised. 7y

britt_brooke I‘ve been curious about this one. I may listen to the audio sometime. 7y

PixieDust Where did you get the tote? It‘s so cute! 7y

Jess7 Amazon. My husband got it for me when I sent him the link as a future gift idea. I saw it somewhere else too, but it was more expensive there because of shipping. I can‘t remember the other place, but I looked at The Strand, NYPL, and out of print that day when I was tote shopping. @PixieDust (edited) 7y

pick

Another great autobiography. I've always like Drew Barrymore and she's had so many different life experiences that some of us couldn't dream of. She's so in love with life and her family, it leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy. Also, I think the last person to read this book from the library had a pet because Juno couldn't stop sniffing it. #wildflower #drewbarrymore #lovethatbooksmell
