Double Date | Rosamond Du Jardin

#haikuhive #haikuaday

Oh, how I love these books. I have all of du Jardin's books. They're loaded with 1950s nostalgia from the point of view of young women. The Pam & Penny series is my favorite, and I usually revisit these every couple of years. 🧡💜💛

#TLT @dabbe

Not too bad, but I definitely have a bunch to still see! I chose three movies based on true events that occurred in our country.

1. APOLLO 13: “Failure is not an option.“
2. ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN: “Follow the money.“
3. YANKEE DOODLE DANDY: “My mother thanks you, my father thanks you, my sister thanks you, and I thank you.“

As messed up as this country can be sometimes, it's still OUR country. #unitedwestand Happy 4th. 💙🇺🇸❤️

AnnCrystal ♥️🤍💙🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸😎👍💝. 1y

dabbe @AnnCrystal 🤩🤗😀 1y

peaKnit Love, love All the President‘s Men, we really deep dived into Watergate in a college White Collar Crime class then watched this movie to pull it together lol! (edited) 1y

dabbe @peaKnit I remember my AP Government teacher made us watch it back in 1983, and we were like 😳? Since then, it's one of my favorite subjects to read about. I've read the book multiple times, and I still can't piece together all of it! 🤩😂🤗 1y

peaKnit @dabbe Right?! There are so many players! 1y

Amiable Even though the movie had Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford in it, I still thought the book was better. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y

TieDyeDude Three excellent choices! 1 & 2 might be the "best" movies on the list, even if they didn't make my top 3 "favorites". 1y

dabbe @Amiable Agree 💯! 🤩 Though I could look at Redford all day, any day. 😂 1y

dabbe @TieDyeDude I was going for “real.“ Now, my absolute faves, well, that would still include APOLLO 13, but maybe some other different ones. 😉 1y

TheLudicReader I often show All the President‘s Men in journalism class. 1y

dabbe @TheLudicReader Do they like it? I remember I had a hard time keeping up in Gov. class, but I did really enjoy it. When I got to be older (and wiser--[heh-heh]) I rewatched and read the book. And have since read and watched multiple times. (edited) 1y

TheLudicReader @dabbe, I am not sure if they like it…but it‘s a great movie for them to see journalists grinding away pre internet. Lol. 1y

dabbe @TheLudicReader And looking things up in the phone book! Taking notes on napkins or whatever else you can find. Having to find a pay phone. #thosewerethedays 1y

TheLudicReader @dabbe, right? And DeepThroat! 1y

Mrs. Miniver | Jan Struther

"On her writing table lay the letters which had come for her that morning. A card for a dress-show, a shooting invitation for Clem, two dinner parties, three sherry parties.."

✋?Can I please live in a world where I'd get two written invites to dinner and three invites to sherry parties? How fun!

rubyslippersreads I can't believe I've never read this. And there's also

The Real Mrs Miniver: Jan Struther's Story

SaraClaridge I named my car (a 1967 mgb) after this book, because it's quintessentially English, which how I think of Mrs Miniver. 9y

LeahBergen I just found this book this year at one of our big book sales. 9y

ElizabethAndino Gorg!!! 9y

Eugeniavb Go to the Brown bookstore and Books on the square! 9y

bookishkai @Liberty I second going to Books on the Square. My favorite old haunt, the College Hill Bookstore, is long long gone. But I would be remiss if I don't recommend trying some Rhode Island food: coffee milk, hot wieners, and a Del's frozen lemonade. 9y

andreadmw I'm not going to feel safe in a hotel for a looooong time after reading this. 9y

Readingrobin Are you attending the Point Street Reading Series tomorrow night? I'm going! 9y

MrBook Careful of the shadows when you take a shower. If everything goes black & white, well, oh boy. 9y

ApoptyGina69 I adore hotels and your room looks very comfortable. The only time I was in Providence, I was on tour with a rock band and slept in a van for 2 days. #thosewerethedays. 😏 9y

quirkyreader Don't forget to visit the HPL home place. 🐸🐙 9y

Janitor Yesss. And so good to meet you the other day at Fika. Your recommendations have changed my reading life for the better this year 😊 9y
