She reminds me more of a Southerner than a Mainer (not knowing much about Mainers). Her honesty and observations ring true.

News reporting suggests that some of the cardinals watched Conclave before they were sequestered. If the reporting is to be believed, they generally found it interesting.
I'm glad it wasn't just me that found the ending ... disappointing. Still, an interesting film. The voting process reminded me of the way US presidential conventions used to be, with states trading off votes for the candidates.

« Last post by Maggie Ann on July 08, 2025, 02:17:11 PM »I'm sad to say, Three Men in a Boat was a DNF for me. It started out well with that typical Brit humor that I love but it quickly became repetitive and I couldn't finish.
I did finish White Lilac by Rosamunde Bott who is a BookTuber. I had been looking for book recommendation because I was in a reading rut. I came across her channel and gave it a try. It was an easy read. I thought it had an element of time travel, but it didn't. Instead, a woman becomes fascinated by a portrait of a woman who lived in the late 19th century. Through the course of the book, we find out about her life, but all the characters stay firmly on their side of time. Some of it was predictable, but the ending was not. Anyway, it got me out of my rut and on to Rose Cottage by Mary Stewart.
