The Chef and I did not need more dishes of any kind, but I couldn’t resist these small beauties. Not only are they stunning… they belonged to the late, legendary entertainer Rose Marie.

Dishes
I plan on using them as often as I can.

“New” books for my entertainment collection
I’ve had my eye on this book since April. I couldn’t pass it by again.

Joan Crawford: The Enduring Star
The Film Encyclopedia, however, was an impulse buy.

I definitely have a book “problem.” In my defense, I bought this with a gift certificate I received for Christmas (from The Chef, of course).

Greta Garbo
March is a transitional month: the weather, seasons, and reading habits are all in flux. For me, the latter has been a big disappointment. I still haven’t been able to get my reading pace up to its normal levels. Oh, well! There’s always April!
Since 1st March, I’ve read:
I promise to do better in April!

Happy reading.
I’m not a fan of actor Robert Wagner, but his book I Loved Her in the Movies: Memories of Hollywood’s Legendary Actresses (written with Scott Eyman) is fun and entertaining. It’s good lazy day reading.

On Friday, I bought a few “light” books. I could use a week of reading totally escapist things. How about you?
