Just finished the Barbra Streisand audiobook. This is now what I expect from all celebrity memoirs - 40+ hours, narrated by the star, with musical interludes.

My proof copies have arrived ❤️ I’m so excited to get my book, ‘The Well Beings’ into children’s hands. As a librarian and well being champion I’ve used my knowledge to write a story I think children need and will enjoy. (Cute cat for attention!) #librarian #wellbeing #author
