Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I loved Happy Valley.  For some reason, I thought I'd seen the second season a long time ago - are you sure it's new?

I didn't think there was a second season. Amazon gives the DVD release date as Nov 2018. I know I haven't heard anything about in some time. I won't know for certain until I view it. I tend to keep shows I really like on my radar.

The new book just went to the production team, which means they had no problems with any of it.

Great.

Bruce, do you recall a really good BBC series called HAPPY VALLEY from a few years ago? I just learned that there is now a second season, produced by and available on Netflix streaming. Thank you, Netflix. They seem to be picking up shows of high quality that, for whatever reason, were not given another season. they have my blessings.

My brother watched this.  I don't know if he saw both seasons but he only gets DVD's from Netflix or I would tell him about it.

IMDB shows season one in 2014 and season two in 2016.

Pretzels sound good.  I was in the mood for some last night.  Alas, I don't have any which might be a good thing.

I am having some of my first watermelon of the year. The flavor ain't great. But it's good to have.

Several of us at work were trying to keep up to date on the testimony today. It didn't work all that well.

My Home Is Far Away because of the Ohio setting. It's a little like a Dickens novel.

A Time to Be Born is a still-hilarious attack on Claire Booth Luce and America in the early 1940s.

Angels on Toast and The Wicked Pavilion are also wickedly funny.

This Happy Island isn't a great novel, but it's an early attempt to present homosexuality in a normal light.

I loved most every one of her books. It's time to re-read some of them.
