Homeland – Season 1 is now at the Carnegie library. This Showtime program swept the Emmy’s for 2012, winning Best Drama, Best Director, Best Leading Man - Damien Lewis, Best Leading Lady – Clare Danes, Best Writing and all kinds of other awards besides.  If you don’t get Showtime, you can see what all the fuss is about by renting the first season on DVD.

    OK, I promised 5 stars for Seraphina, but I am changing my mind now that I have read the entire book.  4.5 instead--it somehow almost made it to perfection, but not quite.

    Some of the best reading of childhood comes from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, Little Men and the following books. I fondly remember these books, which I frequently re-read as a child.  The movies were so pleasant, too!  If you haven't watched them with your little ones, they might be good ones for the holiday vacation.
