I still miss you, Space Mom

The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher

January 9, 2021 by Malin 4 Comments

3.5 stars On the 27th of December 2016, Carrie Frances Fisher, probably best known worldwide as the actress who portrayed Princess Leia Organa in six Star Wars movies died of heart failure. I bought this audiobook on the same day in honour of her memory, but haven’t really felt up to listening to it before now. Carrie Fisher is probably the celebrity whose death has hit me the hardest. Heath Ledger, Alan Rickman, and David Bowie all upset me, but with Carrie Fisher, I felt genuine and […]

Carrie Fisher Tells the Truth

The Princess Diarist by Carrie Risher

January 1, 2020 by Halbs Leave a Comment

I didn’t grow up as a Star Wars fan. In fact, I didn’t see the original trilogy until I was an adult. Therefore I don’t have the same emotional connection to the movies or their actors in the way that hardcore fans do. However, all of the hoopla surrounding the end of the Skywalker story has gotten me more interested in the whole Star Wars universe (pun???). Carrie Fisher’s audiobook version of The Princess Diarist accompanied me through all of my holiday travels and shopping. […]

Merry Bookmas!

December 12, 2019 by KatSings Leave a Comment

A HUGE thank you to Caitlin for my incredible Book Exchange gifts! These books are such a good representation of me in this moment. The interactive Jenny Lawson book, the next Amanda Lovelace collection (my favorite contemporary poet) and one of Carrie Fisher’s incredible books – just in time for the final Skywalker Saga Star Wars film! I can’t wait to get reading on all of these. Happy holidays, y’all!

An affair to remember, I guess

The princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher

February 14, 2019 by Niki 1 Comment

I’m not totally sure why I picked this book, I didn’t watch the Star Wars movies until I was in college, and as such, they never caught fire for me.  I enjoy watching them with my 9 year old kid, because they bring him joy, but I’m Luke warm over them (my phone capitalized the “luke” so I didn’t set out to make a pun, but here we are). I was browsing audio books from my library and I wanted a light read. This book […]

CBR Bingo: (Grammy) Award Winner

October 25, 2018 by Caitlin_D Leave a Comment

If I could only read one category of book for the rest of my life it would probably be memoir. I’ve always been a fan of the genre whether they’re written by regular folks with a sense of humor, survivors of strange upbringings and of course celebrity memoirs. During Cannonball Ten I have been revisiting a few of these old favorites by listening to the audio-book to glean any additional insights narration may offer. I read and reviewed Carrie Fisher’s 2016 memoir The Princess Diarist last year for […]
