Q:  Have you ever done the Classics Club Challenge? If not, would you want to?
A:  I have not, nor would I like to. I prefer modern reading, to be fair. I wouldn't enjoy this type of genre for a challenge.

    That looks like a great memoir--she's so charismatic and enigmatic!

    Oooh 'Face It' sounds amazing! I'm in awe of Debbie Harry so I'd definitely be down to read this! I personally love the Classics Challenge but that's because the genre (or maybe more the category?) does work for me. No need to suffer through books if you're not going to enjoy them :) Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a lovely weekend!

    I have to be honest and admit that I have no idea who Debbie Harry is....

    I do have an active Classics Club challenge. Love reading the Classics and modern lit. There are some great books listed as Classics that aren't that old too.

    Have a good weekend Freda!

      I'm gonna pretend I didn't read that... LOL... Go to Youtube and listen to Blondie, Heart of Glass. Great song, you may find you have heard it after all. They were a HUGE band once, known all over the world.

    The cover of Face It is terrific!

    I'm doing the Classics Club Challenge now. I'm working my way through my first list of 50. I like it. But I find myself reading more classic books that aren't on the list I created. I need to focus on the list so I can finish it by my target date of the end of 2023.

      Sorry I sneezed. I once read The Perfect Storm and was horrified by how scary it would be to be out on a boat in a storm. A cold one at that. My Friday quotes and review

    I am currently updating my Goodreads account to add links to my reviews kind of as a cross-reference for myself. I don't participate in book tours and I can usually hold the few deadlines for challenges in my head.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
