First sentence(s):
Lauren tapped her beer bottle against her best friend's martini.

Zombie sighting:
If box number one is a bust, we can open zombie defense system and taxidermy school projects.
-chapter 6

The only reason Lauren entered the Hashtag Hunt was for the $10,000 grand prize. She needed seed money for her startup, and it sounded easy enough: twelve hours to text twelve photos to someone called the Wizard. For hashtag number five, Lauren needs a #HottieInTheWild, and with the help of her best friend, Ivy, she finds the perfect subject.

The only reason Brenner entered Barkley’s Pub was to have beers with Scott, an Army brother back in town. The reunion is interrupted when a woman is caught crouched in a dark corner, taking pictures of Brenner. Lauren explains, and though embarrassed, she accepts Scott and Brenner’s offer to help with hashtag number six.
While hunting for hashtags, Lauren finds adventure and romance with her #Hottie, but she must stay focused to beat the clock and win the cash.

My two-bits:

Fun scavenger hunt vibe with love found along the way for more than one couple. Loved how friends and team work was a strong theme.

AND watched: in theatre

Midsommar (2019)
Director/Writer: Ari Aster
Stars: Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper
-Drama, Horror, Mystery | imdb | my rating: 5
A couple travels to Sweden to visit a rural hometown's fabled mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.

HORROR done in a visually beautiful way with its vibrant colors and constant sunlight.

Pulp Fiction (1994)
Director/Writer: Quentin Tarantino
Writers: Roger Avary
Stars: John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson
-Crime, Drama | imdb | my rating: 5
The lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster & his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.

PREPPING for the upcoming July 26 release of Tarantino film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a local theatre presented Pulp Fiction this week. I won a free ticket to see this. Next week will be Kill Bill, volume 1. And the following week will be Jackie Brown.

It was a re-watch for me and continues to be a wonderful classic with its innovate way of storytelling. Love that dance scene.


AND watched: on DVD for Paris in July

Fidelio: Alice's Odyssey (2014)
Fidelio, l'odyssée d'Alice (original title)
Director/Writer: Lucie Borleteau
Writers: Clara Bourreau (scenario), Mathilde Boisseleau (collaboration)
Stars: Ariane Labed, Melvil Poupaud, Anders Danielsen Lie
-Drama, Romance, France | imdb | my rating: 5
Thirty-year-old Alice's occupation is rather unusual for a woman : she works as an engineer on a freighter. She loves her job and does it competently but even in a greasy blue overall a woman will be a woman, with her heart, her desires and her seduction... In such conditions can an all-male crew really remain totally insensitive to her charms? A situation all the more complicated as not only does Alice leave her fiancé Felix behind but she also discovers on board the Fidélio that the captain is Gaël, her first love...
—Guy Bellinger

LIKED the female perspective of life as a sailor. Loved the character's strong independent spirit.
