For review:

Someday We Will Fly
by Rachel DeWoskin
-Historical, WWII, YA, Shanghai | Goodreads

INTERESTED to see how Shanghai comes into play in this WWII story.


Library:

The Cactus

-Contemporary, Romance, England | Goodreads

FOR Reese Witherspoon's Book Club June selection. Listening to the audio version.

Daisy Jones & The Six
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
-Historical, Music | Goodreads

FOR Reese Witherspoon's Book Club March selection and Camp ToB 2019 challenge.


AND watched: on DVD

Wanda (1997)
Director/Writer: Barbara Loden
Stars: Barbara Loden, Michael Higgins, Dorothy Shupenes
-Crime, Drama | imdb | my rating: 5

Wanda, a lonely housewife, drifts through mining country until she meets a petty thief who takes her in.

A lost soul. I found that Wanda is one of those characters I wanted to continue to follow despite her aimless walk through life.
