Progress

MOM, Be Careful!!!

They weren't happy that I was up one level.

I was pretty pleased with myself, however.

Talk back to me! Word Verification is gone!

Reading

Lincoln in the Bardo - George Saunders rated an entire post - Nov 17, 2017
The Leo Maxwell Mystery Series - Lachlan Smith gave me hours of pleasure. There are only a few books in the series so far; I can hardly wait for more.
The Good Daughter - Karin Slaughter gets into your head and doesn't leave.
Tenth of December - George Saunders is brilliant, thoughtful, careful, and profound. These are fabulous stories, each and every one of them.
The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye - David Lagercrantz continues the Lisbeth Salander series credibly, if not as brilliantly as its creator.
The Midnight Line - Lee Child could write directions and I'd read them.
Forty Thieves - Thomas Perry's parallel stories pits the good guys against the bad guys while everyone is trying to do the same thing.
Little White Lies - I miss Robert Parker, though Ace Atkins does a decent job of continuing the series.
Treachery at Lancaster Gate - Anne Perry teaches me history, which I love, while her characters grow and prosper. It's like meeting old friends.
The Boyfriend - Thomas Perry's detective is tenacious, doesn't play by the rules, and finds the bad guy. But you knew that already, didn't you?!
The Fallen - I like Ace Atkins when he's not trying to be Robert Parker. These characters are nuanced, the stories are tricky, and the writing is superb.
One Perfect Lie - Lisa Scottoline keeps me amused. It's not deep, but it's readable.
Open Season - I have a new series to enjoy! C. J. Box's characters are not perfect and don't pretend to be.
Lightning Men - Thomas Mullen takes you inside the segregated South. Black Lives Matter started here.
Haunted - James Patterson, again. A fine way to spend a lazy Sunday.
The Store - James Patterson takes on Amazon; you'll never look at a drone delivery in the same way again.
Artemis - I'm not a big SciFi fan, but Andy Weir's tale of life on the moon made me laugh out loud.... when I wasn't horrified.

MOVIES , MUSIC, THEATER.

Lady Bird - (The Loft Theater) A perfect snapshot of that Mother/Daughter/High School thing. Believable, honest, touching, and real.
The Shape of Water - (The Loft Theater) A grown up fairy tale , where the good guys are good and the bad guys are bad and the love is palpable.
The Student Prince - (TCM) I can't believe I never saw this before. It's cheesy and snarky and old fashioned fun.
Grapes of Wrath - The Rogue strikes again! There wasn't a dry eye in the house at the end - and we all knew what was coming.
