A very engaging book that's not quite autobiography or memoir or essay, but a charming mash of all three. Betty catches us up on her most recent activities, but also goes back to tell some anecdotes from the past. The audio book is an extra delight, because she reads it in her inimitable, expressive style. ( )

Light and breezy, but still a fun read, especially for her comments on aging. ( )

Who doesn't love Betty White??!!

This is a simple book where Betty gives her little anecdotes from her life on different topics including how much she loved making television shows, her love for her deceased husband who she knows is with her every day and her beloved pets. It was so lovely to hear her share her memories and how lucky she felt to have all her fans love her. She touches on important moments in her life such as realizing she was lucky enough to have the same friendship with the women from Hot in Cleveland that she had with her costars on The Golden Girls. While this was a very quick read that jumped from topic to topic there were still moments that made me laugh and those that made me smile. Given the added benefit of listening on audio, I got to hear the iconic voice of Betty White - the voice I grew up with and loved.

If you are looking for a short book to finish your reading goals for the year, this would be a fantastic choice as you can get this done while doing simple household chores or driving in the car. ( )

Listened to this book while working on a craft project. A delightful listen, like Betty is sitting down and telling you about her life. Her stories are charming and made me smile. I plan to listen and/or read some of her earlier books. ( )

Sweet and gentle life musings from everyone’s favorite grandma. I loved this glimpse into Betty White’s life. She’s passionate about animals and her television work. She certainly has a optimistic view of life and this was a quick breath of fresh air. ( )
