Welcome to Litsy!

Really enjoyed this. McCullough did a great job at examining the life and career of John Adams. Also well-covered were the relationship between Adams and other historical figures, such as Abigail Adams, Jefferson, and Washington. While it's definitely has a focus on American events, the book does also examine how other world events, such as the French Revolution, affected events in Adams's life. Definitely recommend.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I didn't know that the Thanksgiving game halftime show was a thing, but I'm glad it was this year! Jack White is a top-tier guitarist and musician, and as a basic white man, I just can't resist a rock guitar/hip-hop mash-up 😜

I've just finished this absolutely marvellous graphic biography of the Mitford family. What an incredible, talented, hot mess they were! Recommended heartily.

Finished this morning for #SundayBuddyRead this was a engaging memoir about an amazing woman. A gifted artist & writer, this book focuses on her time with Pablo Picasso & could be titled “Surviving Picasso” who was a giant ass hat man baby. It‘s hard to separate the frustration with the man from his art, but the real interest in book is Francoise‘s perspective on his art & her own. Thanks to the fabulous ⬇️

Theodora reading.

#sundaybuddyread Thank you @TheBookHippie for bringing this book to our attention!

I learned a lot about Picasso from this book. If he wasn't a famous artist, he would have been labeled a creeper. His art was amazing. The man himself was a narcissist man-baby. Gilot's writing flowed well, and I was absorbed into her story. I would have liked a book about her later years. Her personal evolution was fascinating. She grew so much.
