tv » my next guest needs no introduction. Netflix
I’ve missed David Letterman: his snarkiness, facial expressions, laugh … well, just about everything. In this new series, he interviews one guest each episode, and even though he sports a really unattractive beard, he is the same old Dave, asking the questions I’d want to if I could sit next to former President Obama or George Clooney. It’s like eavesdropping at a fascinating cocktail party and enjoying every minute.
book » sisters first: stories from our wild and wonderful life by Jenna Bush
Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush. Even though these two are the daughters of former President George W. Bush, do not expect an inside look at politics. Instead, the twins talk about their life growing up in the spotlight, first in Texas and then in front of the entire world. Their missteps are fairly well known, but I enjoyed their candor and attitude about the opportunities they have been given and what they have done with them. If you have a sister, you’ll enjoy this book.
