1. Stephen King fans: His book Dark Tower 1 is hitting the big screen August 9. It stars Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba.
2. Queen Sugar fans: Season 2 of the TV series on Oprah's network, OWN, is starting this coming Tuesday, June 20. And, wonder of wonders, episode 2 is the next night! If you watched Season 1, then I know you are as excited as I am. And if you haven't, I would suggest that you do a quick catch-up (binge watch?) from Season 1 and slide right into Season 2. It's a very good show.
3. Local author, Adam Henig, has 2 published books: Alex Haley's Roots: An Author's Odyssey and Baseball Under Siege, Under One Roof: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and a Doctor's Battle to Integrate Spring Training. He's now working on a 3rd that we will, hopefully, see sooner rather than later. It's called Watergate's Forgotten Hero: Frank Wills, Night Watchman. This will be all about the unlikely person who helped expose Watergate. I will keep you posted on timing.
4. Have you all heard about the Little Free Libraries? No? Well then click on this link and take a look. It's very cool. Little Free Library.
5. If any of you would like to do a guest post, let me know. It would be fun for my readers to get different perspectives than just mine. You can email me at lloydrrussell@gmail.com and let me know what your subject would be.
6. Bloggers: I would love to get short lists of your favorite books. Again, my readers know what I like. But you all will have recommendations that will broaden everybody's reading choices. How can that be a bad thing?
C'est tout, mes amis.

I think my son is going to read Dark Tower before the movie.
ReplyDeleteWe have a Little Free Library in our neighborhood park!
As good a writer as King is, I have only read 11/22/63 (top 12 all-time) and The Stand in the past 35 or so years!
DeleteVery cool to have the LFL in your neighborhood.
