I have not read this author before, but it had good reviews, so I gave it a go. It's about this old woman on an airliner who goes into a funny trance and starts wandering up the aisles, predicting each passenger's year and cause of death. The author keeps you wondering whether the old lady really is clairvoyant. The thing is some of the passengers she predicts an early death for are sympathetic characters who you don't want to die. I wondered whether the author was going to paint herself into a corner, but I think she just about got away with it.

I can’t settle. Balzac is abandoned for The Posthumous Memoirs of Bràs Cubas, Machado de Assis

Fool's Gold - The Stone Roses

whisky on his back

Have abandoned Tehanu, Ursula le Guin as I am not enjoying it. Next is Honoré de Balzac and The Two Brothers, part three of The Celibates Trilogy

You Were Only Fooling (While I Was Falling in Love) - Connie Francis

1.The Black Wolf - Louise Penny - ****1/2 (Her books are always good) 2. Don't Forget Me, Little Bessie - James Lee Burke - ****1/2 ( Burke considers this latest book the best he has written - I may agree)

I Was Such A Fool (To Fall in Love With You) ~ Connie Francis (another one of hers for you, Muggle 🥰)

Kissing a Fool - George Michael

i'm not so worried about her appearance but i don't think i've seen her play a bitch before so i have no idea if she has that kind of energy in her lol. honestly the charli xcx score is probably gonna be enough for me to like it regardless.

Everybody's Somebody's Fool - Connie Francis (it was the first #1 hit by Connie Francis AND it was the first #1 hit in the U.S. by a female singer AND I love this song AND I love Connie Francis) 😇

Fool if you think it's over - Chris Rea/Elkie Brooks

There've been some pretty bad TV versions too! Not sure about the casting for the latest film version - Margot Robbie - too blonde and too pretty! Will be interesting to see the reviews for this one.

How are you faring, Muggle? Still looks bad over there. You must still have power though?

Fool's Overture ~ Supertramp ( don't think that'll be one you're thinking of 😊)

Poor Little Fool - Ricky Nelson ( Does anyone have another song with fool in the title - cause I have another one I would like to post ) 😇

admittedly i bumped it to the top of my tbr list because the trailer for the new movie looked hot (which feels hilarious after reading it) but too many A+ filmmakers have taken a stab at it for them all to be bad.

Ship of Fools - Erasure

A word of warning, some of the film versions are truly awful! Not sure what the new one will be like.

Phew!

Adrian still has a chesty cough, but otherwise he is fine. He is at nursery today. Thanks. I don't think Adrian needs one now, but I might get one in case there is a next time.

pipe at the ready,

On The Good Ship Lollipop ~ Shirley Temple
