Thanks, Andrea! Total agreement re: The Goldfinch. I absolutely loved the book and am hoping the film retains the spirit of the novel. The Mr. Rogers documentary was beautiful and I recommend it highly. I read Gibb's novel years ago and am looking forward to the film. Saoirse Ronan was originally connected to the film - but Fanning is also an excellent actor.

Enjoy your Spring reading!

Just finished "We Were Eight Years in Power" - highly recommended. I [ahem] am old enough to remember the first issue featuring The Black Panther - awesome that he's a lead now in the Marvel universe. Great recommendations, Andrea!
