It is scary to think that this case may still be a reality in many homes

Have you ever gone to a wedding and thought it would be kind of cool to be the wedding photographer? You might change your mind after reading this book. It doesnt sound like it is all fun and games. That said, the author sounds like she is good at what she does and she does it with some humor and a little psychiatry thrown in. A quick read.
Death Roads: The Story of the Donut Shop Murders, Orvel Trainer3 stars
This was well-written and compelling but ultimately hard to finish because the family Trainer wrote about was just so vile and depraved. I wanted to scrape them off my skin under a hot shower. Those poor, poor young women. Nobody should have to die like this, and the kids in this family should never have been exposed to any of this ugliness, let alone brought along in the family station wagon so Dad, Mom, Granny and Gramps can teach them the tools of the serial-murder trade. Guh.
When Life Gives You Pears: The Healing Power of Family, Faith, and Funny People
Jeannie Gaffigan
4/5 stars
In 2017 Jeannie Gaffigan loses the hearing in her one ear. Putting it off because of just being too busy, she finally goes to the doctor and finds out that she has a brain tumor and must undergo brain surgery. Her husband Jim cancels all his concerts, takes over the household and gathers up all her family and friends to help out. Very heartwarming and at times very funny!
Tim and Tom: An American Comedy in Black and White
Tim Reid
4/5 stars
Tim Reid and Tom Dreesen talk about their lives as stand up comics and as the first comedy duo who were interracial. This was a fascinating look at their lives growing up, how they met and started to perform together, how audiences responded to them and how they ended up eventually parting ways. Tom remained a comedian and was the opener to Frank Sinatra concerts while Tim moved on to TV in WKRP in Cincinnati and Frank's Place. This book is still relevant today.
Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing.This may be a century-old tale but it was mesmerizing and harrowing and, because of the location, timeless.

I needed a book for a challenge that pertained to the military. This one looked interesting. I am not usually one for military books but the first half of this book was very interesting. After his training as a navy SEAL it kind of lost me and I ended up skimming to the end. I think people that like military books would like this one. If you are not familiar with SEAL training you will wonder how anyone could make it through the training.

Yes, had I never seen the show, I wouldn't have liked this book. I love how she narrated it, etc, but I didn't watch that show a lot so didn't know all of the skits, etc. I certainly didn't see most of the early years of the show.

Under the Covers by Jenny LynchJenny Lunch was the editor of the NZ Women's Weekly for 7 years in the 90s. The Weekly is very much a staple magazine of NZ, published since the 1930s and now crowded with brash Australian tabloid style imports at the supermarket checkout. This memoir is a look back on her career in journalism.
I suspected all along that the horoscopes were made up!

This book was helpful in understanding what the world looks like through the eyes of a sight impaired person. I liked her positive attitude and the fact that she didnt let obstacles get in her way.

My husband finds old shows on some of the channels we have, but I am not a big fan of old stuff, especially since we have an HD TV and the old stuff looks really bad on it in comparison. That said, I will look it up on TV Guide online and see. I tried watching the free ones on Amazon, but they are NOT the best ones and are from the first season or so with those horrible clothes. I have a photo of myself as a little girl at the PNE wearing something nearly as ugly. The PNE is the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver and used to be fabulous, but one of my aunts says its not nearly as good as it used to be. We used to go to the city for it every year.
We don't live in a good area for antenna, and my husband wanted cable so he can watch sports sometimes, so we have the cheapest HD plan we can get.

I get it. Old tv shows are not everyone's cup of tea. I told my daughter in law to watch The Walton's, a show that has always been near and dear to my heart, but she hated it and thought it was lame.

I used to love the Walton's as a child. I still like a few movies and shows from various times, but when I watched Jumping Jack Flash (mid 1980s) with my middle daughter it was all too old-school for her. How can she understand one of my favourite comedy scenes of all time with Whoopi in the phone booth in NYC? Plus the old computers, etc. But often I get disappointed so I like the memories. As for Carol Burnett, I used to love the spoofs on TV ads when I knew them, but since we had only 2 channels for the first few years it was out (plus I was too small), I don't know them, and I have forgotten most of them. I still love most of the ones with Tim Conway though. He was a genius, but as he wrote in his memoirs, not a leading man so anything they tried to get him to star in flopped.
My weekend was kind of hairy. The kitchen cabinets got put in at looooong last, but my brother also showed up at the door with a kitten asking if I wanted him. I have also been waiting for a former co-worker's kitten to get old enough to move in with me, and my one remaining adult kitteh was so upset about the first one I decided not to wait any longer and arranged to pick up the second one. The two kittens became instant best friends and are playing in every room of the house, but I didn't reckon on how a different room layout might keep them from using the litterbox. I woke up in a puddle Sunday morning and today, Monday, I actually got peed on. So that area needs work. Thank Scrod for Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer.
The Heart of a Woman: The Life and Music of Florence B. Price by Rae Linda Brown 4 starsBefore I write about this book, I thought I would mention that I first heard about Florence B. Price when my son played something by her with a large ensemble at his college. He was excited to play a piece by a composer he thinks is as good as the best of the best. When I sent links of her music to my father, it turns out his father was a fan of hers. I would love to know if my grandfather got to hear her music live when it was performed in Canada, by reading about her or by hearing one of her recordings. She is now one of my favourite classical music composers. I happened to look for a book about her just after this was released.
The title is a good one. This isn't just a biography, it also discusses her music in some depth. If you are not a musician, you might not want to wade into some of the more detailed bits, but of course, you can hear some of these pieces on Youtube, which will help with those. I can't think of one good reason not to listen to her works, and I am going to link a few of my favourites by her at the end of this. Of course, my favourite Price symphony is not my son's favourite one, so feel free to look for other work by her.
Florence B. Price (her professional name--her mother was also a Florence so she was always called by her middle name, Beatrice) was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas during a time when racism was at a lower point there (before the enactment of the Jim Crow laws legally and an influx of more racist whites), although of course she did have problems with that. The book was helpful, because it explained that even though New England Conservatory (now very diverse) did accept black students, they were still separated in many ways. Her mother insisted she pass herself off as Mexican and that she rent an apartment with a maid. In any event, Price excelled there, but when she returned to Little Rock she never passed for Mexican or anything else again, because she fully embraced her black culture.
I don't want to give a lot of spoilers, but suffice it to say that racism in Little Rock surged and ran rampant, the Ku Klux Klan came in and at one point she and her husband fled to Chicago due to threats on one of their young daughters. Brown lived in Chicago at a good time for black composers, but you really need to read the book to get the good, the bad and the ugly.
Why did her music get forgotten when she was so brilliant? I can't say that it was all because of her race, because of course all women were having a lot of trouble, but racism would have had an effect. But having both a cousin and a very old, good friend who are composers, and having rubbed shoulders with many, it is also true that there are far more classical composers out there than there are places to perform them, even if orchestras didn't have to include known composers to keep their subscribers happy (it isn't cheap to buy tickets). Even today with the much needed push to include more diversity in composers, there isn't enough room to get everyone in.
What I am happy about is that she is finally getting more notice, thanks to dedicated scholars as well as musicians. Dr. Ollie Watts Davis has performed a number of Price's songs, Richard Heard edited and helped put out a book of 44 of her art songs & sprituals via Classical Vocal Reprints, James Greeson offers his transcription of at least one of her songs to those who request it (they are now public domain, I guess).

I love this symphony, which is performed at Rae Linda Brown's alma mater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPjRu...
I love this violin concerto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMRTU...
Here is the Boston Children's Chorus at Symphony Hall during a MKL tribut singing her Resignation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRDmk...
Price wrote a lot of choral and organ music, including for churches, and here is the University of Arkansa Schola Cantorum singing one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeII8...
I will stop here, but this just scratches the surface. It is so sad that some of her music is lost, including her second symphony, but before computer software, it was very expensive to have orchestral scores published on your own.

Warden Ragen of Joliet
Gladys A. Erickson
5/5 stars
Despite the age of the book (published in 1957) and the subject, this is a book that I had a hard time putting down. In this true story, Warden Joseph E. Ragen was encouraged to take over the Stateville Prison and the Old Prison in Joliet, Illinois because of conditions at the prisons and the incompetence of an earlier warden. The book discusses the time period, some of the famous criminals in the system and the reforms that Ragen instituted to turn around the prison and encourage good behaviors in the prisoners. Highly recommended!

The author had cancer and part of her jaw was removed, altering her facial structure and the way she felt about herself. It was so amazing to me that she was bullied at school because of her looks and something she couldnt help. I felt this book was very introspective and would have liked to have seen what was done to help her psychologically, for instance it seems like no one that worked at the school gave her any help whatsoever. I wondered if the bullies actually understood what was going on with her. She is so introspective that she barely mentions her siblings and not very much about her parents and how they were feeling. I read the updated version of this book with the afterword by Ann Patchett. And by the way, nothing was really mentioned that Ann was a friend of hers, even though she is a fairly well-known author. I was not prepared for what happened to Lucy after the book was written and did not know that Ann Pratchett has a book that is based on Lucy's life so I will look for this book.

No, but I am not a big Meryl Streep fan. I was for a while, but for the most part I always feel like I am watching Meryl Streep in a movie. I love watching actresses (and actors) like Sissy Spacek where I feel like I am watching a movie with a brilliantly played character who happens to be played by Sissy Spacek (I became fans of both of those actresses at about the same time and both are brilliant).

5 stars
My favorite author and one of the few that I have to have their books the minute they come off the press. The author has written articles for Southern Living magazine and another one called Guns and Gardens. I have often thought about buying Southern Living just to get the Rick Bragg articles, but living almost as far north in the United States as you can get, it didnt seem too practical. So I was excited to get a compilation of his articles from these magazines and I was not disappointed. Bragg is down-home country boy and has a lyrical way of writing that is soothing to the soul. Oh, and he likes food! When I read his work I want to move to the south. Oh well, maybe in my next life!

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes & Other Lessons from the Crematory
Caitlin Doughty
4/5 stars
Doughty writes about her life and how she came to work in a crematory and eventually earning her degree in mortuary science. She also talks about the history and science of cremation and much more. I thought this so interesting and hard to put down. This may not be for everyone but if you are open to unusual experiences this may be the book for you.
I Am Roe: My Life, Roe V. Wade, and Freedom of Choice by Norma McCorveyMemoir of the real woman who was described as 'Jane Roe' in the abortion legislation in US in 1973 - this was fascinating read as I wasn't sure if this poor woman she was being used and naive all along. Norma was a contradictory character, identifying as lesbian but actually never got the abortion she wanted and gave birth to three children, to three different fathers, was abused by her family, and in constantly trouble with drugs and alcohol and the law stemming from an impoverished childhood.
With her third unplanned pregnancy she didn't even know what 'abortion' was at first and had to look it up in the dictionary. Pro-choice lawyers latched on to her case and used her to fight for reproductive rights - legal abortions available to all women in the states - but it didn't happen for Norma.
All her children she gave birth to were adopted out.
Later she became a spokesperson for the pro-choice movement, and when that didn't work out - she was groomed for it just as her spiel as a carnival barker, she switched sides and became born again and then later on converted to Catholicism, and became pro-life. But you don't know this from reading the book as all that happened later.
The main thing seems that she lied about being raped (she wasn't) hoping that would make her case. Her lawyers, who worked pro-bono, actually had their own agendas. Then she was paid to be the subject of a film that sanitised much of her story.
Interesting read for those who want to know more about the controversial abortion laws about the woman behind it, and much like Rosa Parks who claims she was just tired and wanted to sit down - Norma McCorvey, pregnant at 21 it seems just wanted to survive the next day but seemed to be not all that aware how her own bad choices led to even more difficult choices.

That's quite a switch to go from pro-choice to Catholic! There are other pro-life churches that allow birth control, but she went to the other extreme!
Karin wrote: "Selina wrote: "I Am Roe: My Life, Roe V. Wade, and Freedom of Choice by Norma McCorveyMemoir of the real woman who was described as 'Jane Roe' in the abortion legislation in US in ..."
I know! The other books she authored after her turn around was Won by Love which the library doesn't have...
although just before her death she seemed a bit ambivalent about it all-- though I would suggest its more of an unmarried woman's dilemma than a married woman's problem, but nothing is touched on about being attracted to unsuitable men, or even birth control methods, which she didn't seem to be aware of.
Norma's first husband had married before to an ex and assumed that because they didn't have children they couldnt' ever have any (she was the one who asked him to marry her or she wasn't going to continue sleeping with him) and then he beat her up for being pregnant?! She kept the baby but then lost it to her mother when she went out partying one weekend.
The second father was a co-worker who chased after her and wasn't intending to marry her. She gave the second child up at birth.
The third was a drifter/gambler she hooked up with who'd already left by the time she found out she was pregnant. She didn't get an abortion, by then it was too late, so she also gave the baby up at birth.
Then after that she found a lesbian lover to live with and didn't have any more babies. She'd had girlfriends when she was at a single sex reform school, but didn't identify as lesbian till much later.
I don't know if her conversion helped her go celibate, I suppose that's in the next book.
All About All About Eve: The Complete Behind-the-Scenes Story of the Bitchiest Film Ever Made!
Sam Staggs
4/5 stars
This was an interesting look at the movie and eventually a play called All About Eve. The movie stars Bette Davis and Anne Baxter as rivals in the theater, one is on her way up and one is on her way down in their careers. Sam Staggs does a thorough job detailing the behind the scenes story of the movie, the actors and the drama on the set and off the set. He also discusses the musical stage version that starred Lauren Bacall years later after the original movie came out. This is definitely for movie buffs. I don’t think I have ever read such a detailed account of the story of a movie!
This might be a bit fictionalized, but it is a memoir of Monica Dickens' time working as a Cook General, etc (she is the great granddaughter of Charles Dickens).One Pair of Hands by Monica Dickens
3.5 stars
Monica Dickens, great granddaughter of Charles Dickens and a former debutante who was presented at court, rebelled against (high) society, and then wrote this fictionalized account of the year and a half or two she spent working in service (aka servant--mostly as what in England was called a Cook-General, or cook who also did housework), and this was published when she was only 24, so this happened fairly young. For those unfamiliar with the much stronger classism in England than in the States or Canada, this was quite a big deal because she didn't have to do this, but was bored and not qualified to do anything else. It's quite funny as we see life Below Stairs as well as up. She isn't particularly adept at the work, so is laughing at herself as much as others. She later moved onto other work, because she found it boring to live a life of leisure and didn't get married until she was 35.
Dickens, whose books were as popular as those of Daphne DuMaurier's back then (she wrote about 50 of them), went on to start the first American branch of The Samaritans, a worldwide volunteer organization that counsels people who are depressed and suicidal.

Have you ever looked at someone who obviously has had a lot of plastic surgery and wondered what they were thinking? That's what this book is about. This gal has a serious self-esteem problem and thinks the only way to feel better about herself is to alter her looks through surgery. Then you get an unscrupulous doctor who will do whatever you want as long as you have the money. I will say I wasn't so sure she was being truthful about the doctor. I realize this is a memoir and this is the way she remembered it, but I had a hard time believing that the doctor could be as inappropriate as he was. This book reminded me of the Twilight Zone episode where the women all came out of the surgery looking alike.
I included this here because this really isn't a travel book, per se, but is about a slave raid, etc.The Travels of Reverend Ólafur Egilsson: The Story of the Barbary Corsair Raid on Iceland in 1627 by Ólafur Egilsson
3.5 stars
his is a fairly recent English translation to work that is nearly 400 years old. More than half of this is what is left of Ólafur Egilsson's account of the Muslim raid in Iceland in 1627 where nearly 400 Icelanders were taken captive, but others were beaten, raped, cut and even murdered--burnt as well, but this is a relative term, since they weren't given three meals a day and were sleeping crowded on a ship with no beds, etc.. although not all of the slaves survived the journey to Algiers. That said, healthy people were then taken fairly good care of in order to fetch a better price. After his account, there are are surviving letters, etc, from witnesses of the raid and others taken captive.
Make no mistake, this was not a civilized slavery. On the one hand, some masters were "gentle" and treated their slaves well, but there were also masters as cruel and vicious as the worst accounts we hear of American slavery (slaves were not only beaten, they were whipped, burnt at stakes, hanged upside down, raped and many other things).
Egilsson was one of two men released fairly early on who were sent to their respective kings in order to request ransom. Given that he was already over 60 years old and that he wasn't given enough money to pay his way all of the way back (but was given safe passage written in a number of languages), this isn't as strange as you might think.
This is neither easy reading nor strictly secular even thought it is about secular history. Egilsson was a devout Lutherin clergyman, and given the fact that this is not far after the main part of the Reformation, it isn't surprising that he talks about God, his faith and there are things you can see about early 17th century theology. In addition, at least some of the letters at the end are also Christian, and not only by other members of the clergy.

By the author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West. I used to think that if I could go back in time and live in any era it would be the frontier days but this book made me change my mind. Times were pretty tough back then and the author does not sugar coat it. The name of the book must have been meant sarcastically. If you want to know what life was REALLY like back then this is the book for you.
1959: The Year Everything Changed
Fred Kaplan
4/5 stars
Kaplan takes a look at the events of 1959 and the history behind them. Topics include the space race, Castro’s rise to power, the loosening of censorship, the advance of birth control, civil rights, Motown and much more. One of the most interesting sections to me was that the President Eisenhower sent jazz ambassadors around the world on a good will tour. Dizzy Gillespie and his 18 piece band toured for ten weeks going to Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and more. It was a major hit and other groups with multi-cultural members were then sent out to perform.

I would highly recommend reading Autobiography Of A Face by Lucy Grealy before reading this book. The author Ann Patchett was a friend of Lucy and supported her through most of her adult life. This book starts when they went to college together and goes through so many of Lucy's surgeries to reconstruct her face until her death from a drug overdose. The only thing I can say that I didnt like about this book is that I wanted them to be stronger women. Most of the time they were both kind of a mess. But then I don't know what it would be like to go through what they did, both as a patient and as a supporting friend) so who knows how we would react when faced with so much adversity.

If you were alive in 1972 you knew about the plane crash in the Andes where the survivors were not rescued for more than 70 days and had to eat the flesh of the non-survivors to stay alive. It was a big controversy back then and people basically acted like they were canibals. Who is to say what we would do if it was a matter of survival. This is the story of what happened by one of the survivors but the story of the crash and surviving the crash is only half of the story. The other half is about what happened after the rescue. I was surprised that the part about eating the human meat was barely mentioned. I would have thought that would have a lasting effect. This is a short read, which I was glad. I got a little bored with it after the rescue.
I Want It Now! a Memoir of Life on the Set of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory By Julie Dawn ColeFor fans of the original Roald Dahl movie - and the stand out brat - Verucca Salt! Contains lots of anecdotes. I don't remember seeing Julie Dawn Cole in anything else that was quite so memorable.
Fun fact - she did have a crush on Charlie (played by Peter Ostrum) on the set, but so did Violet (played by Denise Nickerson) and both vied for his attention.

I generally like memoirs about the medical profession. This book was the most interesting when the author is talking about his patients and cases that he has encountered. When he talks about his personal life it seems like it is a lot of complaining, but I suppose that is to be expected when the word 'disillusionment' is in the title. I hope in the years since this book was written that the author has found something that gives him happiness, but we all know the red tape associated with medicine has not gotten better so if he is still in the medical profession I doubt he has found his happiness.
