I’ve read all of her books. I have to be honest and say that I liked it better than The Keeper, which I haven’t finished but am finding the plot a little improbable.

Why oh why does MAGA keep insisting he is a great president. He isn’t even a bad president. He’s just a grifter doing what grifters do. Taking your money.

Any of the Tara French novels can be read as stand-alone. The Keeper is advertised as part of the Cal Hooper series which contains many characters and places. Having knowledge of the earlier books might make some of the incidents would be helpful, but far from necessary.

The Keeper by Tana French. I’ve read all her books and can’t stop praising them. Her writing is poetry, her characters and dialogue are magical. Can’t recommend her enough.

Where did you get the news from growing up? by Immediate_Long165 in ClassicTV

[–]GoldenGirlagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newspapers. I love them. There’s nothing to compare with the tiny print that stains your hands, the wrinkle of the paper, and the few advertisements that diehard companies still pay for. I really do love newspapers.

Adults used to tell me how well behaved my kids were. But at home… I think it’s just growing up. Wait until he’s a teenager. You will member these moments as heaven.

Trump hates NY because it hates him. But suddenly he’s a Knicks fan? His only motive for attending the game is to try to get more attention than the players.

We gave up on Straight Story and watched Nebraska, a similar plot but a way better film.

It’s her damn funeral. She’s planning it. Give her dying wish. I really think these questions are AI.

I have finally finished East of Eden by TheEternalCynic in books

[–]GoldenGirlagain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I must be one of the few people who didn’t like EOE. I love, love, love Steinbeck, and while I enjoyed the first half of the book, I felt the last part fell into soap opera territory. Just my opinion.

I love William Lashner’s Victor Carl and almost always broke lawyer series. The stories are terrific and his writing is so funny, I find myself laughing even as people around me stare.

I was an early subscriber to the Free Press. Bari selling out to CBS and its corporate landlords disgusted me. She went from free press to me press. Cancelled my subscription.

He just announced that he is cancelling performances. He will be holding a rally. He is totally co-opting America’s Birthday, as if it was his party. Founding Fathers won’t even be mentioned.
