BG AUTHORS

Autumn Poetry: A Collection for the Season was mentioned in a post on BG Authors - Poetry for Fall - Blog. (This blog is from Bowling Green State University - a community of readers and authors from the northwest Ohio area and Bowling Green State University - who want to share their love of books and highlight local authors.) I am so incredibly honored to have my book mentioned and recommended! Thank you!

From Netflix

A recommendation tonight by my daughter from Netflix!  I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House is a 2016 gothic horror movie written and directed by Osgood Perkins. The pacing is a little slow, but the atmosphere is mysterious and unique. Very different and maybe not for everyone, but yes, we would recommend!

Song of the Witches

Song of the Witches: “Double, double toil and trouble”

By William Shakespeare 

From: Macbeth

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the cauldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and toe of dog,

Adder’s fork and blind-worms sting;

Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon’s blood

Then the charm is firm and good.

From The Random House Book of Poetry for Children 1983

Feel the change?

Does it feel like autumn where you are?

I know, it feels like it here too!

Film Noir

I have two movies to recommend tonight.  Both are from the 1940s and both have some wonderful actors. If you watch TCM do not miss Cry Wolf (a mystery) with Barbara Stanwyck and Errol Flynn, and Conflict (suspense) with Humphrey Bogart and Alexis Smith. Perfect for an almost autumn night!
