repost for @BarkingMadRead:

Hey #hashtagbrigade it‘s time to discuss our August book! Please comment below if you will be joining us for #vanityfair it is a chunkster! I start with a new list every month, so you need to comment on the original post to be included in the tag list. This is open to anyone, you don‘t have to be a #pemberlittens already! It has 67 chapters! Do we want to read two a day, or read one a day until it‘s done?

BarkingMadRead Thank you for sharing!! 8mo

BarkingMadRead Two books at once in September if we do that. I‘m fine either way! Newbies! It‘s important to know that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always spoilers, so don‘t read my post each day until you‘ve read the chapters. We start on August 1, I will post again the day before with how many chapters a day, although it will likely be two a day so that we finish on time. (edited) 8mo
IndoorDame I‘m up for trying so definitely tag me, but fair warning I‘m feeling intimidated by this one. I‘m voting for 2 chapters a day. 8mo

Morr_Books I'm in (though I will be on vacation for a week in mid-August). I vote 2 chapters a day. 8mo
Cuilin I‘m in too. I agree with @IndoorDame I vote for two chapters a day. I can‘t find my copy but plan to pick one up. Do we start 8/1? (edited) 8mo
BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame same, girl! Hopefully we can get through it together! #hashtagsFTW 8mo
BarkingMadRead @Cuilin yes! August 1st start date! 8mo
Cuilin @BarkingMadRead thanks. I tried this before and bailed 🪂 Buddy reads and hashtags to the rescue 🛟 8mo
mcctrish I‘m going with 2 chapters or whatever needs to be done to finish it in august 🤣🤣 I‘m going to find a copy of some version 8mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍 8mo
Allylu Not sure about this one, but please add me to the list just in case. I am putting my daughter, the librarian, on the search for a copy for me. So nice having a librarian in the house! 💕📚🎉 8mo

BarkingMadRead 😍😍 8mo
julieclair What @IndoorDame said! But I have always wanted to read this, so I‘m glad to finally be doing it with my #hashtagbrigade friends! 8mo
Ruthiella Keep me tagged please. I read it from May to June already because I knew I would not be able to keep up with a two chapter a day timeline. 8mo
Deblovestoread I‘m going to give it a try…getting it done in August would be great. 8mo
eeclayton I read this at university, but have zero recollection of the plot (may have bailed on it?) so I'll be glad to give it another go with you all, please tag me. I vote for 2 chapters per day, too. 8mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍😍 8mo
dabbe Like @IndoorDame, I'm intimidated and have always been by this book. Does it count that I read the magazine? 🤣🤣🤣 Count me in; 2 chapters (gulp) a day. 😍 8mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe we can do this!!! 8mo
willaful I read it in high school so I aint scared! 😂 8mo
BarkingMadRead @willaful 🤣🤣🤣 8mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🤩💪😍 8mo
ravenlee No Vanity Fair for me; I read it earlier this year and that was enough! Hope y‘all enjoy, and I will certainly be following the hashtags. 8mo
Librarybelle I‘m in! I vote for 2 chapters a day 8mo

peanutnine Not sure I have the mental capacity for this chunkster. I think I'll sit this month out but I'll be back in September ☺️ 8mo
kwmg40 Please add me to the tag list! Either choice is fine. 8mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍 8mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm going to skip the Chunckster. I have a stack of Austen in August I'm going to concentrate on. Looking for to mor EMF in September. 8mo
TheAromaofBooks Please add me to the list as I have my copy!! I would prefer just one chapter a day, but I think I'm in the minority on this one, so I'll try to keep up!! 😂 8mo
Allylu I got my copy and I'm in. Either choice works for me - two a day is fine as is one. 8mo
jenniferw88 Jumping in early to say can you tag me for Passage to India please, as I don't want to miss the later post?! It'll be a re-read but it's over 10 years now, so it'll be interesting to see how I find it! 8mo

Vanity Fair's Hollywood | David Friend, Graydon Carter

Pickpick

This was my 2nd return to this book. I can never get enough of my love for the vintage movie classics as well as VANITY FAIR. I read every article again and enjoyed reliving Hollywood's halcyon days.

Favorite Quote: “I am a simple, unabashed fan“ (Graydon Carter, former editor of VANITY FAIR).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really enjoyed this, based on Tina Brown‘s diaries from her time as the Editor in Chief of the resuscitated Vanity Fair in the 80s. She was (is) a career badass who also seems like someone who would be a delight to work or socialize with.

DivineDiana I had the pleasure of seeing her live at an author talk a few years ago. She was fascinating! 2y
fredthemoose @DivineDiana oh, I bet she was a kick! That sounds super fun. 2y
DivineDiana It was. I so enjoy author talks! 2y

Beatlefan129 I love a good game of Life! 4y
Crazeedi Staying at home!! 4y
TheDaysGoBy I‘d like to see Maine. Seems beautiful! Little early to tell what my Christmas plans are but it will no doubt involve family time which will be fun with my young nephews 4y

gradcat Same as @Crazeedi ... Christmas is very low-key around my house. 4y
coffees why maine? as for christmas plans, nothing. just cook food, eat it, and then spend time with the family. high chance of playing loteria (mexican bingo). possibly opening presents and then going to bed xD it's just like every year 4y
ljuliel Our holidays are very quiet, so it‘ll just be a nice dinner . 4y
TheLibrarian Love Maine!! I hope you get to go. 4y
wanderinglynn Sadly not this year. 4y
Gaylagal2 @ljuliel @TheLibrarian @gradcat @wanderinglynn @Crazeedi @TheDaysGoBy @Beatlefan129 @Crimson613 Wow, thanks for all the great replies! I've been very sick with strep & bronchitis and you've all made me feel so much better🤙I'm hoping our Christmas is low key, just like I like it to be🤓 4y
TheDaysGoBy @Gaylagal2 Sorry you haven‘t been feeling well. Hope you get better soon! 4y

I enjoyed this way more than I expected. Tina drops plenty of names,and she doesn't always do it delicately 😉

Brenda I highly recommend the #audiobook which is narrated by Tina herself. 🤓 6y
