      The Harmony and Disharmony is a favorite of my BFF. She said it will make you appreciate the discord in your own eyes.

        I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer. There is excitement and anticipation with Kamala Harris in the run for President and choosing Tim Walz for her running mate for Vice-President of our great United States of America!!

    I recommend people reading what interests them. I’m hesitant to ever recommend a book because I don’t know what that person enjoys – I hardly know what I will like myself! Lol!

    I like to reread classics in the summer. Dune, The Hobbit, things like that. If you’ve never read them then you need to and if you haven’t since you were a kid then it’s great nostalgia to pick the up again.

    I just finished Stephen King’s latest collection of short stories, You Like It Darker, and can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s a perfect summer vacation read.

    A book that I love and have read several times is Bag of Bones by Stephen King. I would recommend it to anyone that likes thrillers, romance, mystery and a bit of horror thrown in to balance it out. lol. I also love The Stand and have read it several times but have not been able to read it for the past few years.

    I would recommend Norwegian Wood from Haruki Murakami as summer reading. Not a happy book all in all, but very good.

    Hmmmm a book I would recommend….. that’s a tough one. If you like sci-fi I would recommend any book by Ted Dekker. If you like sweet historical books then Jo Grafford is a must!!! Can’t just recommend one book 😏

    If you like sci-fi, I recommend the Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells. They are fun, exciting, and most are quite short, perfect for a summer read.

    My favorite genre is erotica. But make it fantasy – Succubi, Demons, Angels, War, Torment, and happy endings (of course). My favorite I’ve read so far is Revelations by Rebecca Rathe.

    Going back to my childhood, The Lensman series, by E.E. Doc Smith, was always a part of my summer reading on the beach.

    It fired a sense of adventure amongst the stars in that young boy.

    Good summer movies? both DUNE movies I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, as well as the newer Hunger Games prequel, that follows Coriolanus Snow. For the TV side of things, I recommend House of the Dragon.

    I enjoyed watching “Stardust” when the movie first came out during summer. This lead to to read the book and other books by Neil Gaiman.

    I loved Bedknobs and Broomsticks when I first saw it when I was a child. I think it’s severely overlooked and underrated.

    If you’re a classic horror fan, I’d recommend the Last Voyage of the Demeter. It’s the missing chapter from Dracula. It’s only a few pages in the book, and I’ve ALWAYS wanted someone to do this movie!! Good plot wise and effects wise, too. Great movie from an iconic book. Thanks for the chance!!

    I haven’t watched a movie in about 8 years, but I can highly recommend an evening of gazing into a bonfire while camping at the beach for summertime viewing. 🙂

    A summer movie? I guess I will go with the classics! Summer is time to visit beaches, so how about the classic Jaws? To remind you to be careful where you swim! lol Or should we go with the Summer Dreams and rewatch Grease, if you aren’t in the mood for horror?

    I can’t really think of a summer movie to recommend. I have so many movies that I love, but I haven’t really been watching many movies this year. I’ve been enjoying the outdoors with my family as much as possible this year though!

    A movie I love is Porco Rosso and I always recommend it. Porco Rosso is an aviator pig who thwarts all acts of piracy perpetrated by the air pirates of the Adriatic. These, determined to finish him off, agree to hire an American adventurer whose mission is to eliminate him.

    Modigliani (2004).

    “The story of Amedeo Modigliani’s bitter rivalry with Pablo Picasso, and his tragic romance with Jeanne Hebuterne.”

    Andy Garcia at his best. Not a summer movie per se, but highly recommended. Loved it.

    I loved Downton Abbey, A New era and it bums me out that the third movie won’t be available to view for another YEAR. I wonder if the studio might make an exception for fans with a terminal illness; I know of a lady in hospice who loves Downton Abbey.

    There’s a movie called “Sometimes A Great Notion”. Every summer in our town it was played at our drive-in. It’s from a Ken Kesey novel. The movie was in the early seventies with Henry Fonda and Michael Sarrazin. I had such a crush on Michael!

    I would love to see some more Clive Cussler books made into movies. I think the would be epic! They contain everything that makes an action movie great – strong characters, engrossing plots, blockbuster endings, and great action scenes. Another positive is that they seldom have a lot of romantic episodes and NO sex in them.
