Mrs. Miniver
Don and I host an “adaptations” book club wherein we read a book and then watch the movie adaptation (yes, it’s fun!). This month’s movie was Mrs. Miniver, and although I confess I didn’t read the book (busy, busy!) the movie was absolutely wonderful. About life on the homefront in England during the early days of World War II, with stellar acting and a wonderful script that is both heartfelt, honest and genuinely funny at times.

I thought this article raised an interesting question. I love my Kindle, but I can’t share my Kindl

The stuff you find on the Internet …
So, I was following links off of Amazon, just doing the surfing thing, and I ran across a site that had a cover for THE GOOD GHOULS’ GUIDE TO GETTING EVEN, which caught my attention not only because the book is currently re-released, not only because I’m podcasting, but because, da-da-da-duhhhhhmmmmm — it had a cover I’ve never seen before:
