Today’s prompt from Long and Short Reviews is “A Celebrity We’d Like to Meet”. Interestingly, one of my favorite authors (Rod Dreher) recently announced he’s returning to the United States, and has chosen Birmingham as his new residence for the time being. I’ve caught him twice at events in the Magic City, and I’m up there several times a month, so I’m hoping to see him more often. I’ve subscribed to his substack for years, and he wants to hang out with area readers, so that’s something to look forward to. And now, WWW Wednesday!
WHAT have you finished reading recently? Rebecca and “The Birds” by Daphne du Maurier.
WHAT are you reading now? Being Nixon by Evan Thomas and The Scapegoat, by du Maurier.
WHAT are you reading next? Being Nixon is going to keep me busy for a while, I think, as it’s six hundred pages and dense.

Will you be reviewing The Birds?
I’ll probably mention it in my monthly recap post. It’s hard to find much to say about short stories…
That’s great that you’ve got to meet a favourite author! Lucky! 😊
Especially in my area! I’m just glad Birmingham pulls larger personalities in from time to time.
