Welcome to Litsy!

What a story🥹. What writing 😍.
Imagine if you grew up knowing you were adopted and were told a fiction about the circumstances of your birth.
In your late 40s you get hold of your original birth certificate, and read your biological mother‘s name…famous Australian writer Charmian Clift.
This book was re-released after the author‘s daughter Gina Chick wrote her memoir, We Are The Stars, a book I read and loved in 2024.
Wonderful 🥰🙏👏

Time is still
A moment of pleasantry
In this zombie birdhouse

The official video is a neat animated effort. Look at the suggested videos for an awesome live version from The Tube, in which Iggy correctly declares, "I am the fucking greatest of all time!"
I love this edgy '80s album. It has an End Times vibe.

Birthday finds from my favorite used bookstore 🩶 I have been really into vintage biographies lately

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll, baby!

VERY heavy on the drugs.

I met Anthony back in the 90s, but, alas, our brief encounter was not mentioned in the book 😂

Spent a week in London and came home with a stack of books, a mix of new and used. Was excited to find both a Persephone and Slightly Foxed edition.
Could have spent days perusing book stores but my family was less inclined. Just as well because my suitcase was pretty heavy!

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful book and story from Steven Curtis Chapman! Loved it! So full of wisdom and insight into our Lord and how good and holy he is! Very emotional as well.

Book review catch-up post 5 of 5:

This is the fourth volume of LM Montgomery's journals and by now I really feel like I know her, warts and all. She was not a perfect person, but she had a wonderful sense of humor and, in this volume especially, a difficult life. It was hard to hear of the pain she endured at the loss of her closest friend and the onset of her husband's mental illness. Three more volumes remain and life doesn't get any easier...

An interesting skip through Daltrey‘s life from school years, through the formation and progression on the Who, as seen through Daltrey‘s eyes, to his life today. I feel the need to read Pete Townshend‘s memoir now, to get a balanced view.

During this time, LMM began copying over her earlier journals. Having read those earlier journals and reading this journal now—do you think she ended up doing what she said she would, and copying them absolutely faithfully?

If you undertook the same task—copying out early journals now that you‘ve become a famous writer—how would you handle it?

Would you edit or revise along the way? Why or why not?
