This week, I saw a fabulous movie  I just had to share with you, and I realized it’s been awhile since we’ve swapped favorite movies and recent reads

My Top 3 Movies

April is Autism Awareness Month, and I saw The Story of Luke at a local theater honoring that fact .  Please Netflix this movie if it isn’t showing at a theater near you. What a joy. It’s a fictional account of a young autistic man whose guardian dies, leaving him to fend for himself in a world that didn’t embrace his quirks.

West of Memphis was a long yet perfect documentary about the West Memphis Three juveniles arrested and convicted of murdering three little boys in 1993, and how Arkansas handled finding  all evidence to the contrary.

Silver Linings Playbook. What can I say? The main character reminds me of my oldest daughter. This is a funny and compassionate movie with some heavyweight actors.

My Top Three Recent Books

I  confess, I love a depressing memoir, and I think my love of women’s memoirs about dead husbands may have been replaced by divorce memoirs.

How to Sleep Alone in a King-Sized Bed  by Theo Pauline Nestor

Split: A Memoir of Divorce by Suzanne Finnamore

Vow by Wendy Plump

And my favorite three blogs?

I like Happynews.com. So many great things are going on around the globe. Here’s a great place to read about it.

Alexis Grant  is still a favorite.

And I’m adding Nina Amir to my list.She wrote How to Blog a Book, something I’m really interested in doing.

(I have to read upbeat blogs after filling my head with negative memoirs.)

What are you looking at these days?

Thanks for stopping by.
