Good Days Abound

Yesterday I ended my lazy day soaking in the bathtub reading. The Heart of the Lion written by Martin Turnbull. If I have not extolled the joys of this man’s writing allow me to do so now.

He writes about old Hollywood. The beginning of. The growth of. I love love love his writing. In case you failed to notice I love his writing. I have every one of his books. The last book in his Garden of Allah series sits in his collection. Withering away for I am not yet ready to say good bye to Katherine, Gwendolyn and Marcus. Not ready for their stories to be done.

The Heart of the Lion is about Irving Thalberg’s Hollywood.

I wanted to double check the names so I had searched Martin in Amazon and there are two books he has written that I have not read, nor had I even heard of them. They are now on my wish list.

Thank Your Lucy Stars: A novel of World War II Hollywood and All The Gin Joints: A novel of World War II Hollywood.

History and Hollywood. Two of my favorite reads. Combined. What more could a woman ask for on a cold winter’s eve?

Today I have cleaned and painted. And now I am on the couch. Once I finish this and post I will be turning off the movie (Seven w/Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) and putting the fire place on Youtube. Snuggle up with Lucky munch on some pistachios and return to the 1930’s and Hollywood’s birthing pains into the talkies. And the Depression.

Tomorrow I get to relax and watch some more movies on my lists.

Today has been The School for Good and Evil. Seven and Day Job/break. It was a Jamie Foxx vampire shtick thing. Not bad.

Enjoy your weekend.

It has been a good one.

Sunshine & Books

Day 3 of gorgeous weather. Figured that I would post quickly.

A wonderful friend of mine in high school recently published her memoir. The tale is of how she and her husband met to his fight and ultimate loss to cancer. I have ordered it and will receive it on Monday.

I already have read the book as I was H’s alpha reader. And I am so proud of her and the job that she has done. It is amazing. She is at work I believe on her second book and I cannot wait to read it.

When I was younger I would be so envious of the fact that she wrote a memoir and I have yet to lift a finger. Now I celebrate her success and only wish and want more success to find her. She deserves it with all the hard work that she has put into it.

This is a teaser for y’all.

Monday I will post the book when it arrives. Unveil it you may say.
