TV Season Rating

When I started watching this series this morning, I didn't think I'd finish it in a day. But, I really wanted to know how everything shook out.
This docu-series made me sick to my stomach. There were so many victims, and the reaction from the church was disgusting, even more so to me since I'm Catholic(ish). Law enforcement really dropped the ball, rather, they never picked the ball up.
While this is billed as more of a who-dun-it regarding Sister Cathy's murder, it was more of an exposé. It was very unsatisfying in that regard. Though, I don't feel as though the murder will ever be solved.

As a fan of other books she has written, I had the opportunity to read a Tart of Darkness which is part of a new series.

She decides to start a chef-to-go business preparing ready-made meals for local college students and also providing personal chef and catering services. To help fund the new business, she opens the house up to a few college boarders whom she becomes a big sister figure to.

Movie Rating

This movie was on Netflix. It's about twin siblings cursed by an incestual family curse. The sister is trying to break it and get free of it and their old house. It's an Irish tale(at least, it takes place in Ireland). The acting was good and the imagery was pretty creepy. Overall it was a decent "creepy" movie. It's listed as horror but it's not really scary. It's kind of slow moving, but keeps the interest. Between the subject content and the little bit of nudity I'd say it's not for kids. It's worth a watch if you're bored and/or into these kind of creepy, "old style" movies.

Lovely wee story

The novel is told from the perspective of Maude, a lady in her 80's with dementia. The reader experiences the frustration that the protagonist feels because of her poor short term memory, yet there is this brilliant back story. Yes, Elizabeth is missing, but so is Sukie, Maude's big sister who disappeared when they were both young. Switching between the present and the past enhances the story, showing how certain triggers can support long term memory in dementia patients. Lovely wee story. Brilliant gripping beginning, a bit slow in the middle and great ending. Worth a read.
