So cool about the lyrics. Will you frame them?

Thank you and yes, I did! They're on the wall with a few other framed treasures :)

I admit that I had never heard of Lloyd Cole or his music (I am MUCH older than you are, Lara). So thanks for introducing me to one of your favorite artists.

Although there is much music from my youth I still enjoy/love, my special favorite is Laura Nyro. I feel like she taught a shy Catholic High School girl about sex.

I loved The Plot! So much so that I could barely get through Yellowface, because I found The Plot superior (similar basic plot, but different total stories, if that makes sense).

It was so good! I prompted me to read a few of her other books, I've liked them all!

I enjoyed this week’s read. I thought Ripley a masterpiece as well as The Second Sex. Thanks, Lara.

Thank you so much Laila! I want to watch Ripley again, and the first book in the series is now on my TBR list!

I plan on rewatching it. I love Andrew Scott. I always enjoy your thoughts and words a lot.

Shut up!!!!

I first saw your blog after hearing you on Savage Love, but I'm from Marin as well so it's fun to read about my haunting grounds but then for you to also like Lloyd Cole? I love you, we are soul sisters.

Do Del Amitri next.

Alison! Your comment made my day!

I LOVE that you found me from Savage Love - I'm really proud of that interview!

I LOVE that you're from Marin! So glad you got a kick out of my post about Skywalker Ranch

I LOVE that you love Lloyd Cole!

We ARE soul sisters!

I must confess, that while I like Roll to Me (although my husband used to sing it as "Raw Meat") I've never done a deep dive - you're inspiring me to!
