pickI‘m a huge fan of Old Hollywood & Jimmy Stewart is one of my faves. This short collection of poetry is a must for any of his fans. He gives a brief story about the background and why he wrote each poem. You can hear his personality come through in each one. Especially worth reading for the last one about his dog, Beau. 🐶 4⭐️ #poetry #OldHollywood #JimmyStewart #dogs
pickI enjoyed this 3rd installment of the series. It has some dark plot points. Definitely not a cozy mystery.
July was a slow reading month, comparatively speaking, but comparison is the thief of joy, right?

bailed
I struggled with this one.
Written from Matlin's first person perspective to that person's third person perspective just randomly before Matlin goes back to first person to finish the chapter which didn't help the odd pacing and overall awkwardness of the non linear.
She jumps all over the place without really going into too much detail or depth in the portion that I did read before I bailed at 20%.
bailedAnd I‘m on a bail roll. This is horrible on audio. Billy Dee is reading it and I just can‘t. It‘s like he can‘t read 😣 maybe he gets his groove on but I‘m not sticking around which is sad cuz I loved him in Mahogany and Star Wars #hewillalwaysbeLando
pickI adore Rita Moreno and this book! She‘s one tough cookie, putting up with stereotypic roles & industry BS. Now at 92, EGOT Rita is still working, calling her own shots and regarded as one of the kindest Hollywood icons. She‘s renowned for her role as Anita, but I also loved her inside stories about The Ritz, The King & I, The Electric Co, seeing MLK deliver his “Dream” speech, & her complicated affair with Brando.❤️🩹

pickWhile John Boy Walton was my first crush, John Stamos has been my most enduring crush 💞
I enjoyed this memoir despite the cockiness that often came through the pages.
John is sober and happy, and I'm happy for him.
I started to write a #LitsyLove letter today, and then thought….I am going to have to say this hard thing over and over and I don‘t want to- so I will just say it here once, mostly for all the lovely pen pals with whom I share the minutiae of daily life. My Aunt San passed on April 19, with my brother Tom & I at her side. She had critical congestive heart failure, which she downplayed for several weeks before it got the best of her. ⬇️
