Carl and I had a great opportunity to see a new Michigan-made movie called "The Daughters of the Domino" at the Hook & Ladder Theater Company tonight. Meeting director Jesse McAnally of @cheesewheelcast.bsky.social was also wonderful since he has appeared on the @adaptmepodcast.bsky.social twice.

Canadian actress Geneviève Bujold rose to stardom as Anne Boleyn in "Anne of the Thousand Days". This video looks at how she was cast, her collaboration with Richard Burton, and why she ultimately stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight.

My next book review is of a thriller with this tag line: "It's 83 and sunny with a chance of treason." #booksky

I've been watching so many adaptations of "Wuthering Heights" lately that I'm considering changing my cats' names. Mookie and Miss Mew - the black cats on the left - would be Hindley and Catherine, and Groucho - the stray one that we took in on the right - would be Heathcliff. #caturday #booksky

Number Ones on BTS ascending to pop-sensation status in the US and on "Dynamite," a song that's both ridiculous and consequential.

Number Ones on Harry Styles' "Watermelon Sugar," which pulls off the rare feat of being both horny and boring.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Happy Halloween to all! If you want something shocking to watch, check out the 1998 "Wuthering Heights" television movie with Robert Cavanah and Matthew MacFayden!

Great episode as always, and I'm not just saying that because I contributed audio for it!

Today, let's look at a potentially scary graphic novel this Halloween with "The Stonekeeper" by @boltcity.bsky.social - the first book in the "Amulet" series. How frightening can it get? Is it worth the read? Click on this link to find out and more: chick-who-reads-everything.com/2025/10/27/t...
The Stonekeeper Book Review
When I became a Children’s Librarian, I was more exposed to juvenile books than ever before. Some were happy, some were sad, and some could be scary. It’s perfectly alright to have the latter kinds…
