I’ve been re-reading today – Patricia Brent, Spinster (1918) by Herbert Jenkins, for the next episode of ‘Tea or Books?’ I shan’t spoil too much before that episode, but I will say that I loved it just as much the second time around – and a Saturday spent mostly lazing around and reading with a cat on my lap has been just dandy.
Since it’s a weekend, I’ll also share a few links alongside this post…
1.) I love The Truman Show, and I found this Vanity Fair article behind the scenes extremely interesting. Can you believe it’s been 20 years since it came out?!
2.) I also love Brandi Carlile, and she has a new album out. Check out the amazing song ‘The Joke’, which also has a great video.
3.) Apparently (according to The Cooler podcast), the song that was #1 on your 14th birthday essentially characterises your life. I got ‘Lift Me Up’ by Geri Halliwell – make of that what you will.
4.) Please enjoy the Google Reviews on the Atlantic Ocean – sort to ‘worst rated’ and have a great afternoon. The same can be done for all sorts of historical sites and geographical landmarks.
5.) Champions has debuted on Netflix, after a network series. I think it’s a really fun sitcom, and will have to take the place of Great News, which was too good for this world and got axed. (Check that out too, if you can – it was the funniest sitcom, in terms of writing, on air.)
You can rent the houses in Seaside, Alabama where it was made too!
I loved Patricia Brent, Spinster, too, when I read it just about four years ago. I suspect I read about it on your blog, so, thanks!
Thank you for the link to Brandi Carlile – I really enjoyed connecting with a new artist I had not heard of. What an incredibly powerful song and video.
Ohhhh my gosh, I kind of wish you hadn’t mentioned the #1 song thing – I got “Candy Shop” by 50 Cent. 😬😬😬
And I *love* the Google Reviews – really, I’m obsessed with reading one-star reviews of just about anything. It’s the first thing I do after finishing a book (*especially* if it’s classic literature or something kids would have been forced to read in school) – I rush to Amazon and check out the critical reviews, without fail I’ll find something that has me in absolute stitches!!
