Library:

Right Ho, Jeeves
by P.G. Wodehouse
-classic, humor
My rating: 5
Amazon | Goodreads

Bertie must deal with the Market Snodsbury Grammar School prize giving, the broken engagement of his cousin Angela, the wooing of Madeline Bassett by Gussie Fink-Nottle, and the resignation of Anatole, the genius chef. Will he prevail? Only with the aid of his gentleman's gentleman Jeeves.

=====> Listening to the audio version and finding it a hoot. Thought I would give P.G. Wodehouse a try. This being my first venture into a Jeeves story, I found it no problem to jump right without having read the first in this series. Interesting to note that Bertie attempts some match-making in this story - in a bumbling manner. Not something you usually read about - men doing match-making. Lots of chuckles.

AND binge watching:

Bloodline
tv series, season one
-drama, thriller
imdb

A family of adult siblings find that their past secrets and scars are revealed when their black sheep of a brother returns home.

=====> first episode just sucks you in! But what I really like are the visuals of the Florida Keys.
