so-soI really enjoyed reading about Waltons‘s rise and trials early in life. But as the book dragged on, his moping followed by redemption grew tiresome. I wish he‘d drawn bigger conclusions about his own life and legacy before he passed, but maybe that‘s asking too much. Fare Thee Well.
Last week‘s book swap scores. Magazine is read already. I love it when magazines give you wrapping paper.
pickI absolutely loved this book as I was a huge fan of the unique personality that was Bill Walton. If you enjoyed his odd, rambling commentary on TV, you‘ll enjoy if not love this. Bill is among the few I could listen to ramble on and barely understand what the hell he was talking about, but still absolutely adore him. This book made me adore and miss him even more, as a world without Bill is a darker place. #bookspinbingo
pickPaul O‘Grady was a comedian, actor, TV presenter, chat show host and British national treasure. The second in his autobiographical quartet charts 1973 to 1980 as he deals with his father‘s death, becomes a father, bounces between jobs, marries a lesbian, struggles to find a partner, travels internationally and starts to develop Lily Savage within the London drag scene. Told with O‘Grady‘s biting wit, it‘s sad, thoughtful, horrifying and honest.
Garden reading while the husband gardens. 😆
This is a memoir of a man who reconnects with his childhood best friend from boarding school after said friend is released from prison for the shocking murder of a family member. The story opens with the author meeting the friend at a train station and then goes back over their school years together and the times they spent at each other‘s houses.

I‘m going to post this today for #TuesdayTunes as he was, perhaps, the most well-known lover of the Grateful Dead. He was a friend of my dear friend and I was so blessed to have known him (just a little). Such a kind man…so full of life and positivity. Rock on in heaven, Bill Walton. RIP

pickGosh I enjoyed this - far more than I expected to. The audiobook is “marvellous” (I‘ve found I now say marvellous all the time since listening to this 🫣). Jennifer Saunders is justifiably a comic great, and her stories and anecdotes are laugh out loud funny. Highly recommend the audio to appreciate her expression and comic timing!
pickPaul O‘Grady was a comedian, actor, TV presenter, chat show host and British national treasure. Warm, hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking this is the first in his autobiography quartet, charting his life in Birkenhead from birth to his late teens and his relationship with his working class, Catholic parents and aunts. This 2018 reprint featured a new introduction by O‘Grady where he says he‘s softened some of the depictions of his family.
