PART of the BookSparks Summer Reading Challenge 2017 (here) - yup, going backward to do a little catchup.

PICKED this up for sweet giggles after reading Sophia Rose's review of the second book in this series at a Delighted Reader (here).


AND watched: on Netflix

Ugly Delicious (2018)
Netlix series, season one
Stars: David Chang, Peter Meehan
-Documentary | imdb | my rating: 5

LOVED the mix of food and food history with American Asian perspectives.


AND watched: in theatre

Book Club (2018)
Director/Writer: Bill Holderman
Writer: Erin Simms
Stars: Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen
-Comedy | imdb | my rating: 4

Four lifelong friends have their lives forever changed after reading 50 Shades of Grey in their monthly book club.

BOOK lover in me could not resist a book club related film. Fun chick flick with great cast ;-)

Best F(riends) 2 (2018)
Director: Justin MacGregor
Writer: Greg Sestero
Stars: Greg Sestero, Tommy Wiseau
-Comedy, Thriller | imdb | my rating: 4

As Sestero's drifter makes a run for it, he finds himself on a desert expedition, where wild characters and dark foibles intersect. As his misadventure teaches him about friendship and loyalty, Wiseau's mortician surfaces a surprise or two.

THE stories continues with lots of Tommy-isms. Love his positive vibe.
