That’s when you have to remember that image in the mirror and not let success get to you. It is important that you not believe your own publicity. Be grateful for whatever praise you receive, but take it with a grain of salt” If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won’t) by: Betty White

Initial thoughts: Who doesn’t love Betty White? Honestly, whenever I see her appear in a movie or television series, I find myself grinning from ear to ear. For decades she has been sharing her acting talents with the world. Even now, at her age, she is still going strong. I ended up listening to the audiobook version of Betty White’s autobiography If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won’t).

Summary

9972053Drawing from a lifetime of lessons learned, seven-time Emmy winner Betty White’s wit and wisdom take center stage as she tackles topics like friendship, romantic love, aging, television, fans, love for animals, and the brave new world of celebrity. If You Ask Me mixes her thoughtful observations with humorous stories from a seven- decade career in Hollywood” Goodreads

 

The Review

This book was an absolute delight to read. I adored every minute of it. Unlike most celebrities who have an ego higher than the Empire State Building, Betty White is a down-to-earth lovable woman who I wish could be immortal. Wouldn’t this be awesome to have an immortal Betty White to grace the silver screen forever and ever and Continue reading →

The Odyssey, translated by Emily Wilson (2018).
It’s been a long time since I posted anything... but I’m back! This weekend, I went to a thrift store to go shopping for some books. Shopping at a thrift store for books is an entirely different experience than going to a bookstore. When I go to a bookstore, I usually have a book in mind that I want to buy and I’ll maybe browse and see what else catches my eye. With a thrift store, you never know what you’ll find. Book 1: The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena. I truly have no idea what it is about, but I think it’s a thriller. Have you read it? Book 2: Evermore by Alyson Noel. So, I read Evermore when I was fourteen and loved it. I thought it might be worth a reread so I could give it a review on my blog. Book 3: Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls. I absolutely loved The Glass Castle. I’m curious to see if Half Broke Horses is just as compelling. Finally, Book 4: Quiet by Susan Cain. So, I’m an introvert. Actually, I’m a huge introvert. Plus, I am super shy and constantly anxious. It’s a great combination to have for socializing and meeting new people 😜I’m super curious about this book and what Susan Cain has to say in defence of introverts everywhere. #bookstagram #book #books #quietsusancain #susancain #bookhaul #bookstagrammer #evermore #evermorealysonnoel #halfbrokehorses #jeannettewalls #thecouplenextdoor #sharilapena #booknerd #bookaddict
Currently obsessed with Bridgerton! Have you read The Duke & I or watched the Netflix series? #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookcommunity #book #booknerd #bookrecommendations #bridgerton #bridgertons #bridgertonsonnetflix #juliaquinn
I absolutely adored The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society 😍 It’s romantic with a dash of historical fiction. It is also a love letter to some of the greatest classics of all-time. I love how the book is told entirely through letters. I ended up feeling as if the characters were real. Question: have you read this book? Do you like books told through letters? #book #bookstagram #booklover #booknerd #books #bookaddict #bookrecommendations #theguernseyliteraryandpotatopeelpiesociety #maryannshaffer #annieborrows #bookworm
Out of all of Jane Austen’s novels, I cannot seem to remember the storyline of Emma very well. 😅It has been nearly ten years since I read Emma while I was in my first years of high school. The only thing I can remember is that Emma goes around trying to set-up romances. 💕💕 After recently finishing Pride and Prejudice, I would love to reread Emma someday. As always, so many books, so little time. Have you ever read Emma? Have you seen the newest film adaptation? I still haven’t seen it, but it looks amazing 😁 #Emma #Janeausten #emmajaneausten #bookstagram #booklover #book #bookstagrammer #booknerd #booklove #classicnovels
