The First Family detail sounds interesting. Having just returned from the Vineyard where the Obamas were, I saw some of that firsthand. (Michelle has VERY cute protection detail -- I can't wait to post about that!) Both those movies are on my to-see list. Can't wait!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-26407256741605104642016-08-21T13:46:00.582-07:002016-08-21T13:46:00.582-07:00Thanks for this list I read Gloria Vanderbilt/Ande...Thanks for this list I read Gloria Vanderbilt/Anderson Coopers memoir it was very good and I am now reading Bobby Kennedy The Making Of A Liberal Icon.

I have Julian Fellowes novel BELGRAVIA sitting on my book table waiting to be read. I have been obsessed with an Australian "horse opera" this summer called "McLeod's Daughters" which has eight very long seasons, so I am behind in my reading. I am into season seven, and the show is definitely going downhill. I am determined to make it to the end, since I have come this far with these characters. Thanks for the reviews, because now I know what to avoid!Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681743103386838795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-41443092101245968332016-08-21T04:11:07.512-07:002016-08-21T04:11:07.512-07:00We loved Criminal with Kevin Costner at movies, so...We loved Criminal with Kevin Costner at movies, so rented it when visiting daughter and son-in-law (who doesn't care for Costner) recently.

I'm excited to add your recommendations to my list. I always like James Patterson's books. He has two new ones out now. They aren't literary works of art, but they are quick and enjoyable. I like Lisa Scottoline's books too. I met her, her daughter and puppies once at my vets so I became an instant fan.Susie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14321685640516642878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-45764956739064021212016-08-19T09:15:05.094-07:002016-08-19T09:15:05.094-07:00Thanks for these recommendations!

I think I saw your rec of the Karen White book on Instagram, I think, and based on that, I thought I'd try it, but didn't get around to buying it before we left for our annual beach week. We always go to St. George Island, and the nearest town is . . . Apalachicola! I was so happy to find the book there in the wonderful independent Downtown Books, and then to discover that Flight Patterns is actually set in Apalach!

In a previous post you mentioned your days were spent trying to keep your plants alive during this east coast heatwave. I had to laugh because that is all I have been doing!
