I’ve been listening to a podcast series about the Mamas and the Papas, and remembered that this book by Cass’ daughter was in the works. One quick download from the library and I started reading.
It’s a wistful book–losing your only parent at seven doesn’t lead to many first-person anecdotes. More interesting is Elliot-Kugell’s life growing up with the loss.
I’m going to have to go back and listen to the few tracks I have of her to see what her singing voice is like compared to her mom’s. The most interesting thing I learned is that she thought of the idea for a singing group and what became Wilson Phillips until they cut her out of the group!
This is another one that I’ve had in the queue for a while on the ereader. I backed a Kickstarter for it on the basis of hearing about it through Chuck Gannon, and there are some great names contributing here. I didn’t read every story (honestly, maybe about half), but Fonda Lee’s “Welcome to the Legion of Six” was delightful. The book must have done well as it has become a series with number 5 coming out this March.
Watched this as we were looking for something uncomplicated. Lots of action and decent fight choreography. The list of stuntmen was huge. Glenn Close really channeled Julie Andrews in this one. The two leads are cute together but there wasn’t a lot of chemistry between them.
