Welcome to Litsy!

The set up for The Perfect Mother reminded me of Not That I Could Tell—a group of mothers, something big happens after they spend an evening drinking—but I liked this book so much more. It kept me entertained with some good twists. #BOTM

I finished this on the 1st and thought it worked well for #MammaMia, but then, I never actually got around to posting it, so it‘s a couple days late now. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #ABBAinAugust

#MammaMia

Irene Pollack is a terrible mother. She wants to turn her son Bertie into a genius. She forces him to do Yoga and speak Italian and play saxophone and go to psychoanalysis and wear pink dungarees to protest against gender inequality. And he can‘t eat pizza. Or ice cream.

Poor Bertie. And all along, he already IS a genius. He is thoughtful and clever and oh so very kind.

Discovered #AbbaInAugust in the nick of time! Timeless music I can relate to ;p

This #MammaMia in the tagged book finally shoves her way, following own whims 🤣🤣

#mammamia talk about having baby fever! I‘m a little worried if @emilyhaldi or myself get pregnant @Reviewsbylola might do some baby snatching 😬. Jkjk but for real 😹 #ABBAinAugust

Mamma Mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma Mia, does it show again
My my, just how much I‘ve missed you?

Yes, I‘ve been broken-hearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma Mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

I guess this is how Christian is feeling at the beginning of book two, after how he and Anastasia ended things in book one. #MammaMia #ABBAinAugusy

Reading this one for #SteepedinStories and there are certainly some interesting Mother-Daughter relationships going on!

My all time favorite novella. Just so much gorgeous writing and emotional punch packed in this wee book.
It captures a warm English spring day in 1924, yet also manages to reflect on a whole life lived, unraveling in a single narrative that flutters between time and place with ease. It captures both the bittersweet nature of looking back at the end of an affair, and also how single moments can influence a whole life. 💕

I “borrowed” this photo from Lucy Worsley‘s Twitter account. I‘m dying to read this historical book about a famous British #mammamia. And I also want to read the tagged novel, one of Lucy‘s favorites, because I love boarding school stories and “slightly odd, introverted women.” 😊 #agameoffavorites #ABBAinAugust

#abbainaugust #mammamia I have posted this title before, it remains probably my all time favorite memoir.I love Vivian Gorniks writing anyway ,whatever she writes.This book is a wonderful conversation about a daughters relationship with her mother.Sometimes they are nearly at each other‘s throats,sometimes they find common ground. Highly recommended.

#MammaMia here‘s the second installment of my pie-capsule on the blog. Flashback to December 2017. A Tale of Two Eves: Candy Gold Apple Pie & Sit On Your Ass Chili Frito Pie bit.ly/2AsdPCV #ABBAinAugust #WaitressMusical #WaitressPieBook
