Let Me Call You Sweetheart | Mary Higgins Clark
post image

#GetMovin #AmericasSweetheart

In the 80s & 90s, I was very into Mary Higgins Clark books. It amazes me that she turned 90 this past December. She's published over 50 books, her most recent last month, and her mystery & suspense titles have stayed in print since "Where Are the Children" first released in 1975. I think that qualifies her as one of America's sweethearts and one of America's biggest and most enduring mystery authors.

Lovesbooks87 Love Mary Higgins Clark!!! 7y
eanderson I need to check this author out! My cousin loves her. 7y
TheBookgeekFrau I remember my mother reading Where Are the Children? when it first came out because, the cover scared the crap out of me lol 7y
mrp27 I was lucky to meet her in 2003 at a book festival. Meeting her prompted me to finally take the plunge and read some of her books. I enjoy her Christmas mysteries the most. 7y
Bookzombie I haven‘t read her books in ages, but my favorite is (edited) 7y

She may be more of a tragedy icon than an #americassweetheart but is also remembered for her lifelong contributions to the arts and preservation of historic architecture. As well as for her style, elegance, and grace - a fashion icon. Amidst scandals and all, she still enthrals the world.

#GetMovin ##americassweetheart
This is a very distorted imagining of one of holywoods iconic female images - a woman who spans the innocence of national velvet to the ultimate sexuality of cleopatra and the classic American play 'cat on a hot tin roof'- j g ballard has the image of her as central to his fantasies of car crashes ( i hesitate to say that i think she was born in Britain?) Still definitely an American goddess - sweetheart???

#getmovin @Cinfhen @eanderson #americassweetheart
I loved the structure of this novel, framed around each of the marriages of a Hollywood bombshell, articles in gossip mags, and the writing of a biography by an up-and-coming journalist..... Evelyn is a complex, flawed and driven character, and this story of her life and loves takes some unexpected turns. Thoroughly enjoyable....

Cinfhen Brilliant choice !!!! 💚 7y
eanderson I need to read this book! 7y

The eldest daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, Alice was not necessarily #americassweetheart ...her causes and beliefs stirred controversy. I‘ve wanted to read the tagged book. She sounds like she had spunk and refused to be silent! #getmovin

I completely missed the #royalwedding , but I love seeing the pictures everyone is posting!!

Hoping the American marrying into the Royal Family works out better than this one. Though to be fair -they certainly seemed to love each other.

CarolynM Not according to some contemporary reports, but they may have been biased - see 7y
TrishB @CarolynM interesting 👍🏻 7y
TheNextBook Her name is Meghan and I‘m super excited for her and Harry! Especially because Harry has always been the wild child and it‘s nice to see him so settled and happy. Meghan is from Los Angeles, like me, and I think they‘ll be fine. Kate didnt have any royal blood and she has done great. Can‘t wait to see what she is wearing! 7y

eanderson I definitely agree with you! 7y
Bookwomble Of the British public, 79% find it acceptable for a non-Briton to marry into the royal family; only 69% find it acceptable for a non-white person to marry in, and; only 44% would find a same-sex royal marriage acceptable. Seems we still have some work to do on letting other people live happy lives. https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/11/29/5-charts-british-reaction-prince-harrys-eng... 7y
TrishB @TheNextBook I think she seems lovely 💕 7y
TheNextBook @Bookwomble exactly!!!!! But they look beautiful and happy!!!! Wishing them the absolute best! 7y
TrishB @Bookwomble agreed. Would be interesting to see the age split there. That probably is re-enacted across society unfortunately. 7y
TheNextBook @trishb I adore her and Kate!!!! I just don‘t see how Diana would have wanted anything more she did such a good job raising those two boys to be amazing men. 7y
Bookwomble As individuals, I wish them the same happiness I wish for every other couple starting out their lives together. 7y
Bookwomble @TrishB You can see the age split in the full report. Not surprisingly, the older the age bracket, the less tolerant of difference. 7y
TrishB @Bookwomble 😔 some hope for the future!! 7y
Cinfhen Meghan & Harry are adorable 💕 I hope they have a beautiful life together. Unlike Wallis & The Duke...horrible 😖 7y
TrishB @Cinfhen they were not a nice couple 😔 (Wallis and the Duke!) 7y
