pickI enjoyed listening to the audio book while doing chores and working on my crochet blanket. I loved hearing about Sam Heughan's life and his journey. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

so-soWell written but the author had a lot of white privilege that was not acknowledged or addressed, but that tracks with the time period it was written.
After her divorce the author decides to travel, mostly to developing nations, where she joins in the local communities, gathers inspiration for her writing, and builds a global network of friends.
2/5 read for a well written travel story, but also know the age of the author and the time period

pickI'm roughly the same age as Alderton, so a lot of our perspectives and nostalgic memories revolve around the same touchpoints (like MSN Messenger being the epicenter of our social lives in our early teens). That familiarity was a big part of my enjoyment of this memoir, so I‘ll acknowledge that mileage might vary for readers of different age groups. https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/everything-i-know-about-love-dolly-alderton...

Spent a little time reading outside. I had wanted to go to a beach and my hubby found one, but --- it was still too cold to spend time in the water. Hopefully soon!
pickThis was great! I watch SNL sporadically, so I am not very familiar with cast members. When I came across this audiobook, decided to give it a try and I was laughing most of the time.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThe last time I read this book I was 19, barely out, completely new to lesbian literature. This time around I was struck by the role literature plays in mediating our relationships. Connection and understanding that feel impossible interpersonally can be achieved through art. The vital necessity of our existence!!
A beautiful reread during #TradPride (gay guy parties 🤝 lesbian literary stuff)
Sorry I‘ve been MIA but I‘ve been really busy and tired from trying to organize my house and take care of my mother at the same time. But The Last Secret Agent is a new book I‘ve started reading this past week. I am only into it a chapter or two, maybe three, but so far it‘s very interesting. Can‘t wait to read more. #LitsyReads #2025Reads #SundayReading #NetGalley #nonfiction #memoir
