pickIf you are looking for a linear narrative, you won‘t find it here. These sparkling vignettes told by a generous, sparkling, and restless soul are beautiful to behold while sometimes feeling hard to follow. May she rest in love and beauty.
pickKendzior always writes beautiful prose that has a hint of melancholy for the future we no longer have. I loved this because it is a love letter to America and like she says, you love the good parts and tell the truth about the bad that way your love is honest.
Yesterday‘s op shop purchases after my 3 hours of ballet for the grand total of $39. So relaxing. Nowhere to be and the only thing to do was go home for a wine and a stretch and seafood salad for lunch. Love my weekends.
I miss you every day… happy Father‘s Day in heaven dad! #father #junespecials @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Rolo and I are enjoying the tagged before summer temps make it impossible to enjoy the outside. Kendzior is an amazing writer and it feels right to read this in the outdoors.
pickThis book. 💔 I love memoirs written in unique ways, and I love Sarah Moss‘ fiction; learning about her life experiences gave insights into some of the components of her novels. She so accurately captured for me the relationship between body, food and control, and how the line past which you‘ve taken it too far can be easy to cross. I loved all the discussions of works by female writers. The audio was fantastic.

Premise: During a season of loss, an actress reflects on the simple things that provide meaning in life.
Review: I find this hard to rate and review. As a celebrity memoir about the author‘s search for meaning during a trying season this works really well. Cont.
pickTotally fine celebrity memoir, but I honestly expected more from an accomplished lyricist. The final chapter, The Most Tender Love, about horses, power, feminism, and freedom was the strongest by far and felt like the crux of what Case was trying to say throughout.
We only have one dog at the moment and have never had three at a time; THIS USA “MOTHER” Day, I am thinking of all my kids, my canine kids; they are top of mind 💖 Reading this because…. I somehow love a good grief story. Pic is Copper with my “new” iris from a neighbor. #DogsofLitsy #CopperBopper #WHPG #GriefLit
