To be finished by 31 March:
- Keepers: The Greatest Films–and Personal Favorites–of a Moviegoing Lifetime by Richard Schickel

Happy reading.
A Small Press Life: Books. Art. Writing. Life. Tea. 
The two books you’ve finished look especially fantastic. Were they as good as their titles suggest?

The Nick Ray book is pretty fantastic. I highly recommend it.
The trance book is interesting, if mainly because it talks about a lot of fascinating, mostly forgotten women. Writing wise, it’s fine but not amazing. I still recommend it, though.

I’m keen to hear what you think about Keepers by Richard Schickel.
I’m currently reading The Ice Cream Blonde: The Whirlwind Life and Mysterious Death of Screwball Comedienne Thelma Todd by Michelle Morgan. Quite interesting!
Just finished reading A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. Highly recommended.

I’m saving “Keepers” for last. I cannot wait to read it.
I’ve read a book about Thelma, but not that one. I’ll have to check it out.
I’ll look into “A Man Called Ove,” as I love a good book rec!
