    I just got this antique oak library table today. The man I bought it from is in his 80s, retired, and refinishes old furniture for a living. I could have talked to him and his wife for hours! He was so very proud of this table, as he should be! I have to rearrange my living room a bit to make...

    What Are You Reading

    Just finished Flynn Berry's Northern Spy. Quite good. Also reading Daphne Du Maurier's The House on the Strand. I'm in the mood for dark, gothic novels right now, so if you have suggestions, do let me know!

    You're absolutely correct about it being racism. There were Germans and Italian immigrants who were interned here in America, but they were not citizens, and it wasn't on the same level as Japanese-Americans. I mean, if you just look at the propaganda posters about Japan produced here in...

    My PhD research is looking at these anti-Semitic, Christian Nationalist groups in the US in the interwar period. Anti-Semitism increased in the US starting in 1933, and all these groups popped up. German-American Bund, the Silver Shirts, etc. I'm looking at one man in particular who operated...

    Finally found a good novel to read! It's The Words I Never Wrote by Jane Thynne, set in 1930s Germany and France. Also reading the Pulitzer Prize winning The American People in the Great Depression by David M. Kennedy.

    Bell, Book, and Candle (1959) with Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart. My first time to see this film and I absolutely loved it. Will definitely be watching it again and again.

    What Are You Reading

    I am in an absolute reading slump when it comes to fiction. I've been so engrossed with grad school reading that I haven't read a novel in quite awhile and I hate it. I'm hoping that over Christmas break I can find a good novel to sink my teeth into.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Lured (1947) with Lucille Ball and George Sanders and a fantastic cameo with Boris Karloff. This is a great noir film featuring Lucy in a non-comedic role. If you've never seen it, I highly recommend it.

    One of my favorite movies! I am a big fan of swashbuckling movies and this is one of the best.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Great British Baking Show finale for this season. I love this show. In fact, if I'm in need of some comfort viewing, I'll put on an old season.

    I am STILL mad at the Supernatural finale. It was horrible.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I didn't see the film as "woke" - just poorly written.

    What Are You Reading

    I've had a hard time sinking my teeth into a novel lately, but I've been reading plenty for graduate school. My current read is A Question of Freedom: The Families Who Challenged Slavery from the Nation’s Founding to the Civil War by William Thomas III (one of the professors in my history...

    Classic Reel TV app

    If you have a smart TV like Roku and love classic movies, check out the Classic Reel TV app. I resisted looking at this for months because I figured it was mostly obscure, poor quality films. Boy, was I wrong! It's only $3 a month and there are hundreds and hundreds of classic movies on it...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    One of my very favorite Bogart/Bacall pairing! I do think the bookstore scene with Dorothy Malone is probably my favorite scene in the entire film.[/ATTACH]

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I quite agree. I left the theater very, very angry. I'm still angry. I won't ever watch that movie again.

    Currently watching Out of the Past (1947) with Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer. A wonderful, stylish noir.
