I leave for a trip home to Ohio tomorrow so spending the afternoon watching movies with the pup before she goes to the vet for the week. She hates her cone.

Hooked_on_books What a cute conehead! 6y

youngreadrshelf Mine always did too. They now make cones that are like small, blow-up inner tubes around their necks. My 3-year-old pup liked that better. 6y
TheBookStacker @youngreadrshelf yes I heard of those I wish we would‘ve gotten it but she‘s off at the kennel now so hopefully she can last a few more days with the cone. 6y
youngreadrshelf @TheBookStacker I‘m sure it will all work out! 🙂 6y

#Aprella #AmericanMoney?I don't think you can talk about American money without J.Paul Getty being part of the conversation. I just watched "All the Money in the World" about the 1973 kidnapping of his 16-year old grandson, John Paul Getty III & it's based on this book which I put on my #TBR. If you don't know the story, J. Paul Getty first refused to pay ransom then finally contributed $1 million-the maximum amount that would be tax deductible.

DebinHawaii ...Speaking of American money, check out this NYT article about the difference in $$$ between Mark Wahlburg and Michelle Williams's salaries for the film's reshoot. #genderpaygap 😡

Reviewsbylola Wow, I didn‘t know this story at all! 7y
emilyhaldi I don't know this story but for some reason it reminds me of a difference case I watched on ID channel with @Mdargusch ... Barbara Mackle was kidnapped for ransom and locked in a box underground for 3 days waiting for her ransom to be paid by her wealthy father. 🤯🤯🤯 @Reviewsbylola u gotta look it up 7y

mrp27 Fascinated by this story. I didn't see the movie but I'm currently watching Trust on Paramount about the kidnapping. This version is suggesting that that Paul jr. was in on the kidnapping. Since I've moved back to California I've been dying to visit the Getty museum. 7y
Mdargusch Wow! This dates me because I remember this @Reviewsbylola and @emilyhaldi 👂🏻 7y
batsy I watched the movie, which was incredibly tedious. But the story riveted me in that "rich people's logic is so horrifying" way. I'm guessing the book might be a lot more interesting. 7y

Mehso-so

This is a tough book to read. Definitely not a feel good book. I‘m almost at the end and am getting uncomfortable about the read, namely because of the fact that some of the people in the book are still alive. It feels disrespectful — I don‘t think I‘d like to have a book written about my family and our skeletons. Not that my family is book worthy but, still.
