Welcome to Litsy!

Does this cover look like a #metoo literary thriller? Yeah, not to me either! But I did enjoy it even if it is a bit forgettable.

Accusations have come out about Weinstein-like character raping women in Hollywood. Some women report a second assailant, but he hasn‘t been named. Filmmaker Joni‘s best friend was assaulted and left Hollywood. Joni encourages her to come forward, but there‘s danger for them both. Great ending twist!

The first tragedy I ever read. 😭

I loved this memoir from a supermodel and #metoo activist. Cameron charts her career from her discovery onward delving into physical and sexual boundaries both big and small crossed by photographers, stylists, and agents. They frequently treated her and other models as objects rather than teens and young adults. Her deep intelligence was rarely acknowledged either. One of my favorite #metoo memoirs so far!

1. Vivien Leigh. Favorite movie: THAT HAMILTON WOMAN. Olivier and she are magnificent together. 🤩
2. Nicole Kidman. Favorite movie: a toss-up between DEAD CALM and THE OTHERS. 😱
3. Lauren Bacall. Favorite movie: THE BIG SLEEP, but my favorite line is from TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT: “You know how to whistle, don't you Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.“ 😀
Play and tag 3? @AmyG @TheBookHippie @bthegood

I‘ve listened to this book while driving or when I couldn‘t sleep and enjoyed the short stories of two women who work as editors for daily talkshows. There‘s a lot to do at the moment about the atmosphere behind the scenes of those productions, think #metoo, sexism, long hours, unfair employment contracts etc. The authors write about their experiences with wit and humor. Without getting sarcastic they nail the subject.
