In reply to Kate @ Parchment Girl. Hi Kate: I miss your blogging but hope you are well. I still plan to see Molly's Game. I was surprised that 12 Stong got such poor ratings. Rotten Tomatoes & Metacritic only have it at 54% favorable ratings. Yikes. I guess I'll wait for it on rental.

I can’t wait to see Molly’s Game. I will watch anything Jessica Chastain is in and I love that it’s based on a true story. I’m also looking forward to 12 Strong. I’m fairly selective when it comes to watching war movies and I know this one hasn’t received the greatest reviews, but the premise is just so unique and interesting.

In reply to Ti. Yes thanks for your review on The Party. I thought it was done well! Really kept me in it. I didn't realize the author is Canadian too, so that helps my Challenge to read more Canadian authors. I don't think of seen or know 7 Days of Us but I'll stop by your site to find out more. Hope you are doing okay.

In reply to TJ @ MyBookStrings. Thanks TJ. I'm wondering about the Maze at Windermere. Hmm. I haven't gotten my hands on a copy yet; think I'll get on the waiting list for it at the library. What are you up to, reading? I'll stop by your site soon. Cheers.

So many of us started the year off with a funeral or memorial service. I can’t even count them on one hand.

Thanks for linking up with me on The Party. I was so surprised by that one. It was a page-turner but also kind of deep. That could literally happen to anyone and I felt like both the parents and kids were portrayed in a very realistic way.

Right now I am trying to finish Seven Days of Us but it’s a slog at the end. What I am thinking about though are the thirteen young people who were found to be tortured by their parents. It is reminding me of a book I read recently and it’s freaking me out.

I’ve seen The Maze at Windermere around, but I had no idea of its premise or that it was set in Rhode Island. Time to look a little closer at it. The previews I’ve seen of Molly’s Game look wonderful, although there’s little chance that I’ll get to watch it in a movie theatre. If you tell me it’s good, then I’ll watch for it to be shown on TV. 🙂
I hope the rest of the year will be much better than its sad beginning!

In reply to Laurel-Rain Snow. Hi Laurel, you get to all the best page-turners. It's pretty incredible all of these notable thrillers came out at once. I will try to sprinkle them in & look forward to seeing what you think of them at your site. Thanks. Need to Know looks pretty good too. Hmm.

In reply to Judy Krueger. Sure Judy, sounds good. It's still a special place & the Rockies scenery is wonderful, though it must have been something a bit different in 1969. A sleepy ski town? Or a place to congregate?

In reply to Susan Wright. OK! Aspen. Lots of movie people there, right? We camped near there on our hippy "honeymoon" road trip in 1969. That was husband #1. We were young and disdainful but still awed by Aspen. Maybe someday we can meet and tell stories!

So many delightful books and movies ahead…I hope to see The Post this weekend, and Molly’s Game is on my list.

As you know, I am reading Anatomy of a Scandal and plan to read The Woman in the Window soon. The Wife is on my list as well.

The Wife Between Us was a favorite in December, and Need to Know is another on my list.

Enjoy your week! Thanks for visiting my blog.
