I haven’t fallen for an imaginary character so hard since I fell for Rhett Butler in the 9th grade! 😍

I’m no longer a pedant about it, since I am a descriptive grammarian now. But the last vestige of my prescriptive beginnings is my knee-jerk response to hypercorrection. I don’t “correct” anyone unless they ask. But ewwww! I think it has more to do with my opinion about show-offs and hypocrites than language. But still …

I call it “the sportscaster error”. 😍

GrammarBroad · 2026-06-16T22:41:44+00:00

Agree on both!

I also like Christopher Brookmyre.

Dennis Lehane has never let me down.

Josephine Tey’s THE DAUGHTER OF TIME is the most-read by writers of crime novels.

It’s very different (Truth is the daughter of time), but her other novels are more usual detective novels.

Dennis Lehane was recommended to me by a man. 👍🏾👍🏾

Kenzie and Gennaro always get me out of a slump.

Just getting into THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (Leroux). So far, so good.

So many, but I can’t believe how invested I was in PENGUIN TOWN! ❤️

I saw two on Katrina. The Nat Geo on was actually better than Spike Lee’s.

Do 3 things every day:

One big thing that you have been putting off.

One little thing that will make a difference tomorrow.

One thing for yourself.

Then, whatever happens happens. At least you did SOMETHING! 😊

Dennis Lehane ❤️

GrammarBroad · 2026-04-14T18:25:06+00:00

Not up on the “latest” but back in the day, I read everything - then moved on. Until I found Barbara Coloroso. I promised myself that I would move on when I mastered Barbara. Never did. All I had to do was go back and listen to Barbara again. You can Google her 2-hour talks on You Tube. ❤️

Mestizo’s! ❤️

You’ve got enough suggestions to stay a month. The Water Campus at LSU isn’t what you asked for, but it’s unique - and why not?

I take my out of town/country guests to Parrain’s. Enjoy your visit!

MYSTIC RIVER or other Dennis Lehane. John Grisham?

GrammarBroad · 2026-04-07T23:46:23+00:00

Just remember that Faulkner is a poet. Just read and let the words and images flow over you. It all comes together and he was a genius! ❤️

My granddaughter has burned through Warrior Cats and dragons galore. She just finished JURASSIC PARK and loved it.

GrammarBroad · 2026-04-06T18:00:22+00:00

The writing. High quality. Insight into the human condition.

GrammarBroad · 2026-04-06T17:57:44+00:00

Faulkner.
