The Wolf and the Dove | Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

pick

This controversial romance is brought up every month in my Romance Book Club.

I finally decided to see what the fuss is about 50 years after it was written.

Women in historical romances didn't have the freedom of choice most of us have today. They did their best with what they had, and sometimes, their womanly wiles were the only leverage they had.

dabbe Oh, how I loved these books as an older teenager! I had this one, SHANNA, and my personal favorite, THE FLAME AND THE FLOWER. #hubbahubba! 🩶🩷🩶 3mo

I have always been fascinated by the Watergate scandal, and this book reminds me of the days of excellent reporting and research in the search for truth. Every time I read it, I learn something new.

TheSpineView I read this in high school. 6mo

dabbe @TheSpineView #metoo! And saw the movie. I've read it multiple times since (and seen the movie ... #hubbahubba RR!) 6mo

TheSpineView @dabbe I loved the movie. 6mo

peaKnit Loved this movie, we picked it apart in my college White Collar Crime class. 6mo

dabbe @TheSpineView 🧡🍁🤎 6mo

dabbe @peaKnit Where was this class when I was in college? I would have loved to have taken it! 🤩 6mo

BookmarkTavern I‘ve seen the movie, but I‘ve never read the book. I definitely should do that. Thanks for answering! 6mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe my neighbor took us on a boat ride today and we went past the Watergate. The urge to re-read this is strong right now! 6mo

dabbe @BookmarkTavern It's so good! YW! 🤩😂🤗 6mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Okay, how cool is that? Perfect timing for a reread, too! 🤩😂🤗 6mo

peaKnit It was at UW-Whitewater (Wisconsin) I had a criminal justice minor. I wish true crime podcasts were invented in the early 90‘s, I was true crime before it was cool 🤣 6mo

dabbe @peaKnit My fascination with true crime goes back to Ted Bundy. Who killed multiple women, including two of them at Chi Omega Sorority at FSU. I was a Chi Omega at U of A in the mid 1980s. We all had to sleep on a sleeping porch together BECAUSE of TB. We weren't allowed to sleep alone. Ever. 😱 6mo

DogMomIrene @peaKnit Want to audit that class! 6mo

peaKnit Omg, Ted Bundy sparked my interest in crime. I feel like I know everything there is to know about him and get so excited when I learn a new nugget. How scary though being in college, and the same sorority that was victimized, at that time, he was absolutely unhinged when he went to Florida. The most complete psychopath I have ever learned about. Have you read Bright Young Women? (edited) 6mo

dabbe @peaKnit Nope. It's now on the TBR! 🤩 6mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie The scenes between Chamberberlain and Ward ... #hubbahubba! 🔥 9mo

TheLudicReader I loved the book and the mini series so much. I remember thinking Richard Chamberlain was so hot back in the day and the angst! 9mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 🔥🔥🔥🔥 9mo

TheBookHippie @TheLudicReader the angst!!! 9mo

TheLudicReader I know, right? @TheBookHippie. Angst is my favourite. I rewatched the series about 15 years ago and I can‘t say that I saw Chamberlain in quite the same way, but as a teenager. Hell yes! 9mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I remember my first thought was, “How naughty!“ Of course, I was a religious freak then, so I was like 😮, yet I couldn't stop reading or watching! 🤩😂🤩 9mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader @TheBookHippie He's now 90 years old! 😱 9mo

TheBookHippie @TheLudicReader College me was 😍🤪🔥 9mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe HOW CAN THIS BE?! 9mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe 90??!! 9mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie I know! 😮 9mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk @dabbe I am not okay 👵🏼 9mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Similar thought: When I showed my juniors the 1974 version of THE GREAT GATSBY, all the girls were like, “Is that Brad Pitt?“ I told them that it was Robert Redford and that Pitt could only wish he was that good-looking. They were all 👀 over him ... until I told them he was in his 80s. 😂 9mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe I just rewatched The Way We Were 😅 9mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Here's me every time I watch that movie: 😭. Here's me when I even watch a CLIP of this movie: 😭. #babsandbob 🩶🖤🩶 (edited) 9mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 3 Kleenex boxes 9mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #bareminimum 🤧🤧🤧 Years ago, I was home from college for the weekend and was watching this with my mom. My sister came home from a date, started watching it with us, and then when the pivotal moment came said, “I'm going to be really pissed if these two don't end up together.“ 😂 9mo

Eggs Loved this book! Read it in 1981, my first summer in Tx ❤️❤️ 9mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe right?!?! Oy. 9mo

dabbe @Eggs 🩶🖤🩶 9mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #oytotheultimatevey #icantstopwiththehashtags 😂😂😂 9mo

Eggs @dabbe I first saw Richard Chamberlain on an old tv show in the 1950s - he played Dr Kildare (Dr Dreamy) 9mo

tournevis @Eggs Dr. Kildare! I and every other Quebecker alive back then watched Les oiseaux se cachent pour mourir in 1983, and we all thought he looked dreamy too. My mother read the book, and told me all about it, enough that I never bothered to try. I wonder how different the original is for the French trna 9mo

I know 83% of the songs for #threelistthursday! There are SO many favorites on this list, so instead I'm going to share 3 unpopular opinions:

🙃 I don't enjoy Beat It. I've just never been an MJ fan. My husband thinks I'm nuts.
🙃 I liked Creep by Radiohead when it first came out, but now everyone on the planet has covered it and it's been overplayed and I cringe when it comes on.
🙃 Don't Stop Believin' by Journey: Nope. Just no.

#tlt

dabbe

Susanita Agree to disagree about Journey 😂 9mo

lil1inblue @Susanita You wouldn't be the first person I have this arrangement with. 😂 9mo

dabbe Love these NON choices! Do you have any favorite Journey songs, or are they just not your band? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 9mo

lil1inblue @dabbe Good question! I think this particular song is just a case of over-saturation, similar to Creep. I generally enjoy most of their other hits. 9mo

dabbe @lil1inblue Steve Perry makes my heart go #hubbahubba! 🤩😂🤗 9mo

TheLudicReader I so want to see McCarthy‘s documentary on the Brat Pack. 10mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader #metoo I couldn't believe Molly and Judd wouldn't be in it. Well, Judd was in for a nano-second at the end. Sort of. 10mo

peaKnit Oh I need to see the doc too, loved this movie. Except the prom dress re-style, I felt it fell a little flat 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ 10mo

dabbe @peaKnit It was a bit too much, wasn't it? 🤩😂🤗 10mo

peaKnit Just finished the doc, thanks for inspiring me! #teamroblowe 10mo

dabbe @peaKnit I think I'll have to subscribe to Hulu just to watch it! 😂 10mo

peaKnit I noticed tonight it is also on Disney Plus, in case that option might be more appealing :) 10mo
