Where'd You Go, Bernadette: A Novel | Maria Semple

Just when I thought the book was boring came the much needed twist. I read somewhere that Cate Blanchett was the main lead in the movie version, and now I can only imagine her as Bernadette. She fits the #ShesSoCold role perfectly.

A Panorama of American Film Noir (1941-1953) | Paul Hammond, Raymond Borde, Etienne Chaumeton

#ShesSoCold #AnglophileApril
The author on Barbara Stanwyck's portrayal of Phyllis Dietrichson: "a greedy, exciting woman avid for sexual kicks but almost certainly frigid."
Not sure if I'd use those words- I love film noir but this was not my favorite film book. But Dietrichson and Mary Astor's Ms. Wonderly of Maltese Falcon are two of my favorite femme fatales.
@emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola @Mdargusch @Cinfhen

Reviewsbylola It‘s been way too long since I‘ve seen The Maltese Falcon! I think maybe I bought the book at some point. 🤔 5y

Billypar I own it but also unread. The classic hard-boiled noirs might be one of those rare cases where I'd prefer the films. Or at least I haven't been able to work up enough interest to read them yet! 5y

Palimpsest I love film noir. 5y

Theaelizabet “Not sure if I‘d use those words...” Or even that thought. It‘s been quite awhile since I saw the film, but that wouldn‘t be my takeaway. Interesting. (edited) 5y

Billypar @Theaelizabet Right? I read it a long time ago but I remember it being filled with rambling, lazy analysis- too much just to be chalked up to a poor translation. 5y

Billypar @Palimpsest I haven't seen any in awhile, but I went through a period where I watched so many: lots of good ones. 5y

Mdargusch Perfect! 5y

Miracle Creek: A Novel | Angie Kim

pick

Elizabeth is on trial for the murder of her autistic son Henry. Either #shessocold for blowing up the unit where he was receiving oxygen treatment or she‘s innocent. As the story unfolds in the court room, Elizabeth‘s guilt is stripped away as we learn the secrets and crimes of other people involved. It‘s a wild ride that also fascinated me because of the “autism mom” layer and the choices Elizabeth made to “treat” Henry‘s autism. #anglophileapril

Cinfhen, emilyhaldi, Mdargusch

Samplergal Good one. I‘m almost finished with this one and she really is cold. 5y

Cinfhen Good choice💕 5y

Mdargusch Hmmm. Sounds very interesting. 👍🏼 5y

Reviewsbylola You can borrow it. I think you‘d like it. @mdargusch 5y

Anya‘s daughters think #shessocold and have estranged themselves from her in adulthood. In her old age, she begins to tell them the story of her time in Leningrad when she was literally so so cold, during the siege of Leningrad in WWII. There is more to their ice queen mother than they expected. #anglophileapril

Reviewsbylola I‘ve been curious about Hannah‘s other titles since reading Nightingale and

The Great Alone
