Just starting to do reviews of new books
I am just starting out in the field of doing reviews of new books. Have done a few now and enjoy the fact that I can read a good book, write about it, and share those comments.
Guess that as you age your insight becomes a little more clear as to what the writer is saying. Having written non-fiction for many years I find that reading novels and what they have to say is sometimes just as important as the tale that is spun. What a great life we have and as we move on through the chain of… Continue

My Impressions - Barbara Walters Show & Academy Awards - Morgan Mandel
I've got a sore throat, which means a cold or the dreaded flu, but I got bored with sleeping.
To break the monotony, I watched Barbara Walters interview:
Miley Cyrus - or Destiny Hope Cyrus, which was the first name her parents gave her. She's 15 years old and already owns an entire wing in her parents' home. What a life!
Very engaging young girl who seems to have her head on straight despite all of her notoriety.
I also watched Barbara Walters interview Ellen Page, a very pretty 21 year old, very sensible, but she just had to close the interview singing a song which I can't get out of my head - nice little ditty.
Vanessa Williams - who spoke about the controversy over her nude photos and admitted they weren't worth it in the long run. Very lovely woman who admitted she, like many other movie stars, uses Botox.
Harrison Ford - who says his new Indiana Jones movie, set for release in May, will not hide the passage of time. Harrison himself is now 65, but doesn't look it.
I love the glamor of the Academy Awards. I particularly enjoy watching what the stars wear and how their hair is done. Sometimes they look completely different in person than on the sample movie clips shown.
Many of the women are wearing strapless gowns - which always make me a bit nervous - how do they keep them up without spilling out of them?
Anyway, I haven't seen any of the movies, but will eventually do so on DVD.
I just watched Tilda Swinton win supporting actress. She looked totally surprised. It was refreshing to see that much spontaneity.
Anyway, I'm signing off now so I can enjoy the rest of the Awards - Also to Dream that some day my romantic comedy, GIRL OF MY DREAMS by Morgan Mandel can be made into a movie - Well, I did say it was a dream, didn't I?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

I really enjoy reading books and writing reviews

I like that you gave me a pseudonym. What a witty way to tell someone that they've named me erroneously: I'll just say next time: From Lydia (aka Linda). You can't imagine how many times people mistake me for Linda.
Anyway. San Diego is the glory of California. Sorry about the pool: you folks can come and visit mine anytime.
I would say, romping around in a cabin with acreage miles and miles around you, is something of a splendor, and I know you agree.
About the snakes? "I hate snakes!" -Raiders of the Lost Ark. Will you be seeing that film soon? It's coming back with the original actor (love 'em!)

As for me, I have to live in sunny California, amongst the greenery and natural setting of my little house....(not too bad). I've got a pool in the back. I think I'm going to take pics and look as good as you two do!
I'm looking forward to reading about your adventures as a critic on the column you mention. Make sure and keep us posted. Ciao!

Thank you for accepting my friendship. Look forward to our conversations about writings, and such...
I was going to say to have a splendid day, but your picture shows you know how to have them, so just...continue!

I'm glad Book Place has started a spark again. Sometimes that's all someone needs to succeed.

That's all to the good if you've heard things about me before, unless they were bad things.(g)
They say it takes about 30 times now before your name can get recognized. That's a lot of marketing.

Sounds like you've settled down into a great spot for writing. Welcome to Book Place.
I hope you enjoy your stay here & make sure to tell everybody about us!
