Angela Lansbury was delightfully shrewd as Jessica Fletcher, but her (Oscar-nominated) performance in The Manchurian Candidate was downright chilling. #RIP 😢
Manchurian Candidate | 
pickThis book is heavy on the politics and I found it kinda slow. And for a book about an assassin, it wasn‘t very murder-y. But, at about the last 100 pages, it gets good! And the ending is great! 👍🏻

pickSo much better than the movies. If you want fierce antagonist mother read this book!
bailedJust couldn't get into this one. The writing style wasn't for me, and I wasn't interested enough in the story to stick with it. Maybe I'll watch the movie.
As you can see from my bullet journal, I'm giving the Manchurian Candidate a shot. Have never seen the movie (either version) but obviously I know the general premise.
Day20 #FeistyFeb #PresidentialReads I usually prefer reading about people around the president rather than the president-but here's a few that fit: Manhunt-the 12 days between Lincoln's assassination & John Wilkes Booth's capture, Madame Presidentess-novel of Victoria Woodhull, the 1st woman to run for president, Manchurian Candidate-political thriller w/an election & from my TBR-Upstairs at the White House-behind the scenes w/the first families.

pick#augustphotochallenge #politicsandbooks I thought my only political books were on food politics but then remembered this gem of a political thriller, published in 1959 during The Cold War. It's creepy, dark & twisted. My dad had me watch the excellent 1962 movie-sometime in the 80s & I bought the book after seeing the 2004 remake. If you like conspiracy theories, mind control & intricate plot twists, it still holds up today. #augustofpages 👍📚
