Re-reading The Girls Sappho Goes To Hollywood by Diana McLellan. I love this book! Again! The story revolves around Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Tulluah Bankhead and the women who loved them. Large selection of amazing photograhps as well

Objects of Our Desire: Exploring Our Intimate Connections with the Things Around Us
Salman Akhtar

This is a brilliantly written book by a psychiatrist that examines why we hang on to stuff and simply can't part with it for various reasons. He explores our rationale for becoming 'collectors.' Here is a quote from the preface..." We are surrounded by things. We are involved with them, indebted to them. We speak to things and things speak to us. To say that we are interdependent is banal. Let us be courageous. Let us admit it: we are lovers."

Easy, delightful read. I recommend it.

"By Their Father's Hand: The True Story of the Wesson Family Massacre" by Monte Francis

Francis Scovel Shinn wrote “The Game of Life and How to Play It” in 1925, this classic work focused on positive thought and affirmations, one of my favorite exercises is... When you ask for something from the Universe also ask for it's equivalent, that way you get exactly what your soul needs. We may think we know what that is but the creator knows better.
