Welcome to Litsy!

Perfect first hand accounts of actual veterans.

This is an unflinching oral history featuring the good and bad aspects these women encountered in the spotlight in a segregated America. These women were often still in their teens, unable to make their own career choices, and found themselves working hard without seeing any real benefit. This book also gives us an understanding of the songwriting process, the recording sessions, and the relentless touring that would take a toll on these groups.

Final April #BookSpinBingo card. I finished my #Bookspin (tagged) and read 7 total books last month.

Finally I‘ve read this very important book. So much sorrow from each tale, each personal tragedy. From the inability of humanity to learn and get better. Almost 40 years passed and we are no better off.

April #BookspinBingo card! My #Bookspin is Bourdain (excited to finally have the impetus to read this Kindle book I bought on a deal ages ago!) and my #DoubleSpin is Green Dot (an ARC I won from a Goodreads giveaway a few months ago).

This is a collection of migrants stories, their reasons to cross to the US and their problems in transit and once they reached their destination. I was more interested on the appendix than in the stories, the timeline about how US interference caused instability in central America and how their policies affected the migrants was brief but interesting.I was surprised when I went back and I saw that women's stories were about 40% of the book,because

This book was passed down to me from my mom when I moved into my first apartment. I found it on my bookshelf tonight and decided to read jt.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Perfectly enjoyable audiobook of the narrative history of The Big Bang Theory interweaving quotes from cast and crew interviews.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An impeccably-researched oral history of one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. Sadly, husband and I never finished the last couple of seasons (kids truly ruin tv time). I will hopefully remedy this soon! From casting, to character quirks, to contract negotiations and so on, this well laid out account covers it all. While the actors do not narrate, the full-cast audio crew did a fab job bringing this to life.

I have to admit, I only recently watched this show. I was busy with life when it originally aired, but I have now binged all seasons and needed more. 😁

This book is written in interview style, which I personally loved. It gives so much information on how the show came together, the writers, the actors, and even the struggles.

It was fun to revisit one of my favorite sitcoms and all those who made it great.
