Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 3, 2011 at 3:39 pmTots,

Totsymae
August 3, 2011 at 4:57 pmI’ve been deliberating on it and I think I have an idea. Yes, one of these kiddies will help their mom out. Since this is my birthday month, this would be good timing.
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 3, 2011 at 5:10 pmPerfect, Tots.
I’ll be looking forward to seeing your Face 🙂 xx
Alison@Mama Wants This
August 3, 2011 at 3:35 pmSo glad to see you vlog Kim!! Seeing someone whose words you read often, just brings the reader closer to the writer. You did fabulously and you have some great books there.
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 3, 2011 at 3:41 pmHi, Alison,
we tried several times and I couldn’t stop laughing….
So when I stopped, then rushed and shot the vlog.
Yes, nice to see movement with the faces.
Thanks for your encouragement 🙂 xx As usual.
lbddiaries
August 3, 2011 at 4:09 pmHow cool is that? You and your voice and your books – you’re a real girl!! Next time make sure you tell us all the authors so we can find them (who wrote Evening?). You did great – I agree with Alison, it’s great to see the person behind the blog! Youze is beautimous, dalink!!
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 3, 2011 at 4:12 pm——–NAN,
I was so nervous that I forgot to name some authors!
Evening is by Susan Minot. I loved that book SOOOOOOOO much.
—the writing is superbly superb 🙂
When will U be doing a Vlog? I’ll be waiting with my glass of Merlot xx
lbddiaries
August 4, 2011 at 7:41 pmI’ll think about it. Don’t have the equipment right now. We could have so much fun, couldn’t we??!!!
Ann
August 3, 2011 at 4:33 pmCongratulations! You did it! I am strictly a trashy romance reader, but you have quite a book pile there! Bravo!
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 3, 2011 at 4:51 pm–Ann,’
Thanx for popping by my book reading!

Ann
August 4, 2011 at 7:27 pmI know it probably didn’t help your vlog post…but don’t you just love giggly days with the kids?
Pamela
August 3, 2011 at 5:20 pmStop! You are too adorable!! 🙂 You really rocked it. And Bird by Bird rocks it too. And all things Stephen King, Elizabeth George, Pat Conroy, Larry McMurtry, and oh my the list is so long I could name favorite writers ALL DAY.
kim sisto robinson
August 3, 2011 at 5:26 pm———–Pam,
Talk about Rock It. You inspired me with your Vlog yesterday 🙂
–so, here ya go.
I have not read S. King. I’m tooooooooooo scared. Chicken.
I have so many other books I love…but I couldn’t name them all.

Perhaps you can vlog about some of your faves.
Bella
August 3, 2011 at 6:01 pmAnd you do look beautiful, Kim! What a treat to see and hear you in your first vlog! I’m hoping there will be more to come because I think it’s a wonderful way to connect with readers. Inspiring, Kim! 🙂

Ameena
August 3, 2011 at 7:39 pmi am totally motivated now to do my first vlog…it’s harder than it looks i bet. but you did a fabulous job and what better topic than books?
now i really need to read bird by bird…you are the 3rd person who has recommended it!
kim sisto robinson
August 3, 2011 at 8:29 pm—Ameena,
Every writer must read “Bird by Bird.” It’s a Must.
–let me know what you think. I’ve read everything by Anne Lamott.
And about that vlog….I’ll be waiting for yours. xX
Vidya Sury
August 3, 2011 at 8:03 pmWow! What can I say? You totally rock. Your choice of books is wonderful (yeah, just because I love most of them too ;-)). You should do more vlogging.
A suggestion, if I may – how about listing all those books (titles and authors) here? 😀 I was so focused on your voice, your hair, your earrings (my absolute favorite types), your cute cap with your hair peeking out like that – I was too busy enjoying watching you. And now, i want your list of books! Pretty please?
😀 Love ya. More, please.
kim sisto robinson
August 3, 2011 at 8:30 pmYou are too sweet, Vidya.
I shall write you the list tomorrow. 🙂 xx Kiss for you!
Jessica
August 3, 2011 at 9:58 pmGreat job on your first vlog! You read a lot of books. I used to be that way too until I got on Twitter. Now I read tweets. All. Day. Long.
I’m hoping to read a book this weekend. Fingers crossed.
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 3, 2011 at 10:05 pm—-Jessica,
DO you work for Twitter?!
I’m still trying to figure out how to use Twitter to its full capacity.
How the hell do some people have 10,000 followers? That would be awesome.
xx Thanks for comin’ over Xx
PS. hope you find a GOOD book to read over the weekend.
Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella

W.C. Camp
August 4, 2011 at 12:09 amWow great job for a first vlog and pretty informative too. Looks like some great reads but other than Bach’s bird offering seems like the female authors own your bookshelves – not a sweaty, grunting knuckle-dragger writer among them. Oh well you always have my blog to fill the void! DO MORE VLOGS!! W.C.C.
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 4, 2011 at 6:41 amOhhhhhhhhhh, I didn’t even notice! 🙂 What a damn fool-feminist.
I love Li- Young Lee & John Stienbeck & Hemingway & Frost & Hughes &….Nerudo.
Honest.
thanks for popping in WC.
next time some knuckle dragging brilliant men!!
Goodness and Grit
August 4, 2011 at 12:45 amOh Kim, I feel I know you personally now! It was as if I were sitting in your living room with you. Enjoyed the book tips and I must add you are beautiful on film! I am not sure I could ever be so brave!!!! Good for you!
Kimberly
kim sisto robinson
August 4, 2011 at 6:34 amGoodness & Grit.
DO IT!
If I can, Anybody can.
Believe me, I was giggling so bad that
my son had to stop filming many times…
then I said “Do I look Fat?
Don’t make me look fat.
Is there lipstick on my teeth? Do
I look young? H AHA Etc…
I’m glad I did it.
You will be, too xxX

August 4, 2011 at 10:45 pmYours was the first video I watched on my “smart'” phone (a phone that highlights how “ditzy” I am BTW). You are so precious, & I am honored to be mentioned in the same vlog breath as my heroes Anne Lamott and Sylvia Plath. I’ve read JLS at least 7 times 🙂 Stopped counting how often I go back to Bird by Bird… I thank you for the shout-out & I love that you keep doing more, stretching & growing and holding our hands as we walk this journey together. Xoxo
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 4, 2011 at 11:32 pm—Ginger,

August 5, 2011 at 7:51 amKim, Hello! It has been a while since I’ve written. Kiddos are keeping me busy this summer! I have to say, ever since I started reading your blogs on skirt! your “voice” has come thru loud and clear. There is never a question as to your mood or passion for the topic that write about. It is such a treat to HEAR your voice and to see you now! You are beautiful! I just wish your son would have included a bit of your laughter…as I love to laugh along w/ anyone! : )) My request is that you read one of your moving and poetic pieces on a vlog. Thanks for sharing all of yourself w/ us! : ) GinaV
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 5, 2011 at 7:56 amGina V,
Oh, how nice to hear from YOU! (Can you see me smiling>)
I love that you wrote and mentioned that about laughter…..I will keep it in next time.
ANd I shall read a moving poem and try not to Cry.
I miss talking with you on Cyber.
Have fun with Kiddos, you sweet girl.
Love Love Love,
K.
Impulsive Addict
August 5, 2011 at 8:00 amYAY a vlog! I LOVE to watch vlogs! It makes me feel closer to my peeps!
I love that you have a wide variety of books on your shelf. I TRY to be diverse but I usually fall back into old ways. I haven’t read that much this summer which is odd for me.
Great job on your first vlog!!!
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 5, 2011 at 8:22 am———-Dear Impulsive,
I read the same books all the time.
I am stuck…..
I do not care…I don’t want to read the other shit!

Have you read any of those books?
Julie @ mamamash
August 5, 2011 at 1:51 pmGood job! Man, you have a lot of books there. I used to be a voracious reader of all things bound and papery, but Twitter has sucked me in. I need to schedule some book time soon.
Kim Sisto-Robinson
August 5, 2011 at 2:35 pm————Julie,
Twitter is beginning to suck me in, too…
so hard to find a balance for everything, isn’t it?
Thanks for poppin’ in 🙂 Xx
