I have always been fascinated by the Watergate scandal, and this book reminds me of the days of excellent reporting and research in the search for truth. Every time I read it, I learn something new.

TheSpineView I read this in high school. 2w

dabbe @TheSpineView #metoo! And saw the movie. I've read it multiple times since (and seen the movie ... #hubbahubba RR!) 2w

TheSpineView @dabbe I loved the movie. 2w

peaKnit Loved this movie, we picked it apart in my college White Collar Crime class. 2w

dabbe @TheSpineView 🧡🍁🤎 2w

dabbe @peaKnit Where was this class when I was in college? I would have loved to have taken it! 🤩 2w

BookmarkTavern I‘ve seen the movie, but I‘ve never read the book. I definitely should do that. Thanks for answering! 2w

Bookwormjillk @dabbe my neighbor took us on a boat ride today and we went past the Watergate. The urge to re-read this is strong right now! 2w

dabbe @BookmarkTavern It's so good! YW! 🤩😂🤗 2w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Okay, how cool is that? Perfect timing for a reread, too! 🤩😂🤗 2w

peaKnit It was at UW-Whitewater (Wisconsin) I had a criminal justice minor. I wish true crime podcasts were invented in the early 90‘s, I was true crime before it was cool 🤣 2w

dabbe @peaKnit My fascination with true crime goes back to Ted Bundy. Who killed multiple women, including two of them at Chi Omega Sorority at FSU. I was a Chi Omega at U of A in the mid 1980s. We all had to sleep on a sleeping porch together BECAUSE of TB. We weren't allowed to sleep alone. Ever. 😱 2w

DogMomIrene @peaKnit Want to audit that class! 2w

peaKnit Omg, Ted Bundy sparked my interest in crime. I feel like I know everything there is to know about him and get so excited when I learn a new nugget. How scary though being in college, and the same sorority that was victimized, at that time, he was absolutely unhinged when he went to Florida. The most complete psychopath I have ever learned about. Have you read Bright Young Women? (edited) 2w

dabbe @peaKnit Nope. It's now on the TBR! 🤩 2w

dabbe @TheBookHippie The scenes between Chamberberlain and Ward ... #hubbahubba! 🔥 3mo

TheLudicReader I loved the book and the mini series so much. I remember thinking Richard Chamberlain was so hot back in the day and the angst! 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 🔥🔥🔥🔥 3mo

TheBookHippie @TheLudicReader the angst!!! 3mo

TheLudicReader I know, right? @TheBookHippie. Angst is my favourite. I rewatched the series about 15 years ago and I can‘t say that I saw Chamberlain in quite the same way, but as a teenager. Hell yes! 3mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I remember my first thought was, “How naughty!“ Of course, I was a religious freak then, so I was like 😮, yet I couldn't stop reading or watching! 🤩😂🤩 3mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader @TheBookHippie He's now 90 years old! 😱 3mo

TheBookHippie @TheLudicReader College me was 😍🤪🔥 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe HOW CAN THIS BE?! 3mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe 90??!! 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie I know! 😮 3mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk @dabbe I am not okay 👵🏼 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Similar thought: When I showed my juniors the 1974 version of THE GREAT GATSBY, all the girls were like, “Is that Brad Pitt?“ I told them that it was Robert Redford and that Pitt could only wish he was that good-looking. They were all 👀 over him ... until I told them he was in his 80s. 😂 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe I just rewatched The Way We Were 😅 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Here's me every time I watch that movie: 😭. Here's me when I even watch a CLIP of this movie: 😭. #babsandbob 🩶🖤🩶 (edited) 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 3 Kleenex boxes 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #bareminimum 🤧🤧🤧 Years ago, I was home from college for the weekend and was watching this with my mom. My sister came home from a date, started watching it with us, and then when the pivotal moment came said, “I'm going to be really pissed if these two don't end up together.“ 😂 3mo

Eggs Loved this book! Read it in 1981, my first summer in Tx ❤️❤️ 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe right?!?! Oy. 3mo

dabbe @Eggs 🩶🖤🩶 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #oytotheultimatevey #icantstopwiththehashtags 😂😂😂 3mo

Eggs @dabbe I first saw Richard Chamberlain on an old tv show in the 1950s - he played Dr Kildare (Dr Dreamy) 3mo

tournevis @Eggs Dr. Kildare! I and every other Quebecker alive back then watched Les oiseaux se cachent pour mourir in 1983, and we all thought he looked dreamy too. My mother read the book, and told me all about it, enough that I never bothered to try. I wonder how different the original is for the French trna 3mo

I know 83% of the songs for #threelistthursday! There are SO many favorites on this list, so instead I'm going to share 3 unpopular opinions:

🙃 I don't enjoy Beat It. I've just never been an MJ fan. My husband thinks I'm nuts.
🙃 I liked Creep by Radiohead when it first came out, but now everyone on the planet has covered it and it's been overplayed and I cringe when it comes on.
🙃 Don't Stop Believin' by Journey: Nope. Just no.

#tlt

dabbe

Susanita Agree to disagree about Journey 😂 3mo

lil1inblue @Susanita You wouldn't be the first person I have this arrangement with. 😂 3mo

dabbe Love these NON choices! Do you have any favorite Journey songs, or are they just not your band? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 3mo

lil1inblue @dabbe Good question! I think this particular song is just a case of over-saturation, similar to Creep. I generally enjoy most of their other hits. 3mo

dabbe @lil1inblue Steve Perry makes my heart go #hubbahubba! 🤩😂🤗 3mo

Eggs Favorite of mine too - great characters 💗💗 4mo

dabbe @Eggs Andie is adorable, Duckie is an annoying but cute nerd, Steff is an a-class jerk, and Blane, well, #hubbahubba (except for his name! ) 4mo

LeahBergen This soundtrack is the BEST. 4mo

dabbe @LeahBergen Agree 💯. They don't make 'em like that anymore. 🩷🩷🩷 4mo

TheLudicReader I so want to see McCarthy‘s documentary on the Brat Pack. 4mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader #metoo I couldn't believe Molly and Judd wouldn't be in it. Well, Judd was in for a nano-second at the end. Sort of. 4mo

peaKnit Oh I need to see the doc too, loved this movie. Except the prom dress re-style, I felt it fell a little flat 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ 4mo

dabbe @peaKnit It was a bit too much, wasn't it? 🤩😂🤗 4mo

peaKnit Just finished the doc, thanks for inspiring me! #teamroblowe 4mo

dabbe @peaKnit I think I'll have to subscribe to Hulu just to watch it! 😂 4mo

peaKnit I noticed tonight it is also on Disney Plus, in case that option might be more appealing :) 4mo

dabbe @peaKnit Ooh, thanks! 🤩 4mo
