Malice Domestic, Bookstore Tour, and a Great Review!
Enjoyed being at Malice Domestic. The malice-go-round and new author
breakfasts are great ways to learn about new authors and new books. Got
a few ideas from the poison lady. Watched some good panels. Charles
Benoit was terrific! Participated in a panel and met some new people
as a result - plus one adorable dog named Puff. And bought quite a few
books!
Also met some fascinating book-lovers at Malice and at a gathering last night in Fairfield, CT. I especially enjoy talking to people w… Continue

Hi and Welcome
I'm delighted to be on a forum devoted to books. Books have been my very best friends since - well, since my parents started reading them to me, and that was a long time ago. We didn't have very many, and I actually learned to read by memorizing the words in the little Golden books my parents read to me. Eventually, I put two and two together and realized that the words had meaning outside of those books, and I began reading everything I could get my hands on.
And now my second mystery… 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.

Thanks for the invitation. Just finished reading a Robert Ludlum novel, The Ambler (Can't think of last word), while on a vacation. The book was a luddite--in terms of number of pages, some 600+!! Did do some skimming just to finish the thing. Ludlum has interesting insights into human nature and psychotropic drugs and on how the brain operates--\of course, that's along with some very esoteric stuff that was good. However, the latter kinds of reading, made me feel as if I needed to be more academic, sitting upright and alert in a classroom and not wearing a bathing suit, reclining in a lounge chair on a Caribbean beach.
Cheers,
Pat
Thanks for coming on over.
I hope you enjoy your stay at Book Place and tell all your friends!
