pickThis book is part biography, part fiction and part memoir of the author. A strange combination and I wasn‘t sure what to make of it at first. I like George Orwell‘s work but this book looks at his wife Eileen and her role and influence on his work. And how she has been ignored by everyone including Orwell. It left me thinking that Orwell was a completely self absorbed a-hole!! The book had me questioning assumptions but rounded them out perfectly
pickBoth heartbreaking and inspiring this shows a little glimpse into the world of Peter Steele from Type O Negative. Someone recommended this to me because of all of the Brooklyn references- he basically grew up where I did- so I enjoyed reminiscing about all of the old Brooklyn clubs and hardcore bands. I‘m def listening to their music with a new perspective. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Today, I‘m sharing my #weeklyfavorites. The book I finished this week was The Great Abolitionist which is a Netgalley ARC about a civil rights hero. I enjoyed this book which surprised me because I don‘t like learning about American History but this book was interesting. I liked how this one was written. It was slow in the beginning but it never felt dry or boring to me.
@dabbe #ThreeListThursday #TLT I love the golden age of movies 🎥 and my favourite actresses are 1. Katherine Hepburn - Philadelphia Story ( with Carey Grant is a favourite). 2. Bette Davis - All About Eve or Dark Victory are my faves 3. Colette Colbert - It Happened One Night is my fave ( I love the part at the end when the horn blows and you know the Wall of Jericho is tumbling down

3 favorite actresses from any era:
1. Audrey Hepburn never fails, can do no wrong
2. Ava Gardner, visited the museum dedicated to her in her hometown of Smithfield, N.C., and her gravesite
3. Grace Kelly
So far the book is as riveting as Jackson‘s work.
pickHere‘s my review for a book I just finished reading. American History isn‘t my favorite subject to learn about but I ended up enjoying this book anyway. Will I read more books about American History? I don‘t know but I liked the musical Hamilton on Disney Plus because they made American History fun.
Release date: 4/22/24

1. My mom is on a cruise this week so I have the house to myself and I‘m watching the dog. It‘s okay because I like being by myself. I‘m going to take my dog for a walk every day, watch a livestream tomorrow afternoon that I registered for, watch The Masked Singer on Wednesday night and read.
