Spring Cleaning With Liz Smith

Liz Smith
What I want to “remake” in my life is the big clean-out – my closets, my files, my voluminous papers (which are now going slowly to the Harry Ransom School at the University of Texas where  they will reside with the papers of Norman Mailer, Woodward & Bernstein, Gloria Swanson and George M. Cohan, to name a few). And my books – my goodness – what does one do with a lifetime of books? The Strand has already taken caskets full of books but my apartment is still overflowing.

Enjoy…….I just ordered your book "Natural Blonde" to add to my stack…….that someday I will have to clean out!  It is an emotional process but how wonderful that the UT will find a home for the archives.  I loved you in the NYPost and I have followed you to Wow.  Thanks for still WOWing us.

I read "Natural Blonde" just a few months ago.  JC, I’m sure you’ll find it interesting & entertaining.  I guess I’ll hang onto it until I discover that a friend or acquaintance appreciates Liz as much as we do.  What I have trouble in releasing are (almost all) of Jeffery Deaver’s thrillers!  Each of us has their favorite things that for one reason or another we can’t part with.  Nothing wrong with that.

I am a new  to this site, which I am addicted to at this time.  I am so glad that such great female minds have done this.  It is exciting to me.  To answer your question,  this spring, I am going to expand my brain,  cleaning out the garbage and fill it up with smart thoughts and enjoying life like never before.  Thanks you !  Elizabeth Roy

Liz, "caskets" full of books? Startling word. Is that a slip? I hope you are not feeling low …
