Album Favorite

"Half the album's great, half the album's not so great - the jamming stuff. The MC5 sounded dangerous, and they looked it, too. They were serious: Wayne Kramer wasn't acting like a criminal, he was a criminal. There's a difference. They didn't joke around; they were serious about it, and it could be horrible. The first record was the good one. Their potential never developed into what it should have been, but there are always bands who never get to the next level, or who are never as good as their earliest material."

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Little Breton Bistro in Books

Nina George’s newest novel is about Marianne, a German woman who, at the age of 60 decides to kill herself while vacationing in Paris with her husband. Of course, she fails at her attempt, and that (as the poet says) has made all the difference. This novel is as charmingly written as her previous one, but I think I liked that one just a little bit better. Find out why in my newest book review on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2018/06/09/leaping-late-in-life/

They say “it takes a village to raise a child,” but further to that, I think it takes a worthy cause to build a community. Libby Page’s debut novel “The Lido” is about the fight to save a local swimming pool that brings two women together in this common struggle, despite the sixty-year age difference between them. You can read my review of this book that is being called the “feel-good debut of the year” on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2018/08/11/diving-in-together/
