To revisit Harry Bosch

I am now in a spooky mood, as you know, being Augtober and all, so I have started reading other things than crime fiction. That said, something came to my mind about my favourite genre: I haven't read a Michael Connelly novel in more than a decade. I only read for novels of him, all in the Harry Bosch series, all in the earlier entries. For a famous and prolific crime writer like him, it might surprise you. I haven't blogged about him either, this post is a first. So you can guess that, while I enjoyed Connelly's novels, I'm far from a diehard fan. I guess there are crime writers I prefer. The first one I read was Angels Flight, back in 2006. I think that it should be time to revisit him and read more, especially about Harry Bosch. If you have any title to recommend me, please let me know in the comments.

"All I Wanna Do"

Here's some music, to celebrate Friday and the coming weekend, which I have been needing badly. I know very little about Sheryl Crow (my brother PJ is a bit of a fan), but always loved All I Wanna Do. I think it is a perfect for a Friday when you feel carefree or want to be carefree and just want to have some fun. Even though I know the song talks about Tuesday, I never considered it a Tuesday song. It's a weekend is coming song.

The star of Marilyn Monroe

A few months ago, my brother PJ went to Hollywood on holidays. He took a few pictures, including this one, of the star of Marilyn Monroe. Maybe the greatest star there ever was he said, commenting on the picture on social media. I think he is right, and there is no need for any maybes. She used to be my favourite actress, not so much for her acting skills, which to be very honest I think were rather limited (but very enjoyable nevertheless, what she lacked in acting abilities, she made up for in charm), but for her iconic status. Now, I have another favourite actress (you know which one), but I still think Monroe's movies are great fun to watch. Not always because of their intrinsic qualities (although she did play in genuine great films), but because they are freaking Marilyn Monroe movies.

The Star of Cate Blanchett

My borther is on holidays and he is spending some time in Los Angeles and Hollywood. And he took a few pictures and shared this oneon Facebook. I know I am silly, because it is just a star on the pavement and the person it pays homage to is not, was not nearby, but I was still dying with envy. As the regular readers of this blog know, Cate Blanchett is my favourite actress, bare none. So not many starts in Hollywood impress me, but this one does.
