Paul O‘Grady was a comedian, actor, TV presenter, chat show host and British national treasure. The third in his autobiographical quartet charts the 1980s as he hones Lily Savage in Northern clubs (dragging Vera with him), overseas and London‘s gay clubs and searches for love in all the wrong places. But tragedy isn‘t far away as HIV starts to bite and O‘Grady suffers more loss closer to home that even his sharp wit struggles to see the humour in.
Did a little indie bookstore shopping on our last day in MN 😇 Stoked to read this series by a local author!!
Lunch with a book while I wait for my car to be serviced. The waiter saw me reading and started talking books… he recommended an author I haven‘t heard of before: L. E. Modesitt, Jr. Has anyone here read his work?
I laughed so hard and loved the dialogue of the book … Steven Erikson just knows how to keep you engaged in his writing loved every sentence and his characters … you have the character names and just everything loved this
My friend‘s Pusheen stuffy now has her own hand-knit sweater. This was reverse engineered from the Barnes and Noble exclusive Pusheen that came with a cable knit sweater. It‘s on upside down because this particular Pusheen‘s front paws are tucked in rather than outstretched 😂 but the sleeve placement works!
I don't think I've ever even thought this, but the TV series were better. There were way too many characters, who did of said funny things that envolved the plot, but had no substance. It was however easy to follow, and I moderatly enjoyed the time, but I expected more. Maybe if I read it before I saw the series it would have been better, but we'll never know.

I just love how Steven Erikson writes that humor and dialogue just makes the book so much better then just writing a storyline that works he always adds more human interaction love it
