pickI started listening to this audiobook on 3/26/24 and finished tonight. I had to wait for holds, I was reading other books in between, but it has been a constant companion. I watched some of her films, and I enjoyed the experience thoroughly. What an accomplished woman and an inspiration. I‘m a bit melancholy I finished it. I learned so much and I appreciate her much more now than ever. Highly recommend!
pickI have a new love for Barbra after listening to this 48+hour audiobook. Easily the longest I‘ve ever listened to, but was never bored. She recounts nearly her entire life, starting in Brooklyn with a single mother, her father passed when she was about 18 months. From an independent young woman turning into a do-it-all genius powerhouse. I loved hearing about the causes she‘s supported and politics she‘s influenced. More amazing than I ever knew!
pickWhile the title suggests that this is a book merely about Elvis, this is actually a comprehensive history of Sin City itself. From its humble railroad beginnings to the entertainment capital of the world, author Richard Zoglin takes us through the story of this desert oasis. This is an in depth look at the entertainers that set the stage for a performer like Elvis, people like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr.
bailedI loved listening to the first third of this book! Such a fascinating look behind the curtain of Broadway and Hollywood. Barbra‘s narration and sound clips were so perfect. Unfortunately I got bogged down with the political stuff 30% in and had to return it to the library because my loan was up. Don‘t know if I feel like placing another hold.

pickI started this in print but the book proved too heavy for bathtub reading so I switched to audio and I must say, give yourself this gift. Allow Babs to read her memoirs to you. Every song, every aside, it's just the best possible way to take in this story. Am I obsessed with Barbra Streisand? Yes. Does she deserve my adoration, undoubtedly so. She deserves yours as well.
I went straight from breakfast to the Children‘s Hospital Book Market, where I knocked four things off my wishlist! Alas, nobody donated anything by Charles Stross or Kay Kenyon (my two big book hunt targets at the mo), but I was glad to give the sick kids some money and fill out my personal Skip Beat! library at the same time.
pickSo good! Loved on #audio as she read it and it was wonderful to hear it in her iconic voice. I loved the musical recording pieces they added into the audiobook. What an amazing creative life she has led, I am so thankful for the art that she has put into the world. She is a national treasure! #BookspinBingo Counting as two spaces since it was 48 hours long! @TheAromaofBooks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
