What are ya reading?

[PGD-GRAD]

Just finished “Bobby Kennedy” by Chris Matthews. As a child of the ‘60s, I thought I knew all there was about the Civil Rights Movement and the continued assassinations, including Bobby Kennedy. I heard him speak in Indianapolis when I was a senior in high school.

This book adds a whole new perspective to this period and caused me to re-think that whole tumultuous decade and allowed me to consider input from people who I’d never heard quoted before.

I finally finished "My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry." Was hard to get into but glad I finished it.

Finally started last in the 4 book series of Harry Turtledove Worldwar of the Alien Lizards invading our world, Striking The Balance!

So far, it is touch and go, but We as a world must win, right!!!

Recently finished The World In My Eyes by Richard Blade. Great autobiography of the life of the popular DJ who grew up in England & came to the USA& brought us all the great music of The Second British Invasion. If you love the club music of the 1980's & want a trip down your college big hair days ( and even the days of the underground movement before that), this book is for you. Catch Richard Blade on XM Radio First Wave (channel 33).

Reading "To Marry an English Lord" by Gail MacColl and Carol Wallace. It's a non-fiction book about the American 'dollar princesses' who came over to marry English aristocrats in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Winston Churchill's mother was one of those. I had no idea his mom was an American. It's how Edith Wharton got inspired for "The Buccaneers."

Just finished "In A Relationship" by Aaron Boe and now continuing a long book about the history of Tufts Greek Life hah

After reading "To Marry and English Lord," I'm rereading "The Buccaneers" by Edith Wharton. I love my local library!

Lady Katherine Knollys: The Unacknowledged Daughter of King Henry VIII

I was inspired to read this by one of the Greek Chat Renaissance Fair actress. Wish it were more inspiring, not merely conjecture. I paid $1 + shipping for it, and am glad it wasn't more.
