I meant, I hate the name Tom Ellis, not Lucifer or Morningsta..."

Ahhh, though now I am terribly curious! It sounds like it is probably a very interesting story.

(But I absolutely *HATE* his real name!!!)"

I used to hate it until I learnt the meaning of the name.

You're very welcome!

That is The Socialite by J’nell Ciesielski which, according to the spreadsheet, was read by Patti.

My vote goes to Lucifer!

I found this book: Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good: The Madcap Business Adventure by the Truly Oddest Couple in a second-hand store. I don't think I have grabbed for a book as fast as I did that day. A very interesting read that made me like Paul Newman even more. I think it is time for a reread.

I know... I realised while I was out and wanted to kick myself. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Well, hopefully some of my other books will work for it.

Absolutely Paul Newman! My first celebrity crush from when I watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when I was 5 years old.

Also, while Catching Fire doesn't work for Catch, it does work for Cat and Fir/Ire.

Please ignore. I completely forgot about the minimum 4 letter rule.
