Welcome to Litsy!

@DebinHawaii #5JoysFriday
Made some lime lattice cookies
My eldest went to her 6th form leavers party
Sunflowers are growing one is nearly 6ft
Pretty blue flowers
And first early raspberry.
Play along all.

I have some fun choices for #ReadYourKindle this month! Thanks for hosting, @CBee !

This was a cute rom-com!

The premise is so fun. Two authors facing immense writers block decide to “switch” plot ideas for their next books.

The star of the book was the two authors, Allie and Martin, and their writing relationship and friendship. I love that an old male crime author can become friends with a young female romance author.

How did I miss this film about Thomas Wolfe & his editor Max Perkins? I ran across the film today and binge watched the whole thing while on the elliptical. Gorgeous cinematography and acting - highly recommend.

Whole thing is here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9AowPEE-7hY?si=Llhdawj2cxKCQUyM

An ugly story about writing, publishing, opportunism, ambition, racism, cancel culture, etc.

Despite the tough topics, I thought this was very well-done.

Bravo!

What a book. I love a good satire and this one is so well written you sometimes forget it is one.
