![]() ![]() The exhibit had both PEANUTS strips done by Schulz over the years related to the anniversary, as well as personal artifacts from Schulz’s time in the army during World War II. The one that was nearing its run featured a number of strips and memorabilia commemorating the 65th anniversary of D-Day. ![]() While I was there in late July, there were two featured exhibits in the museum. Obviously, it goes without saying there is tons of Schulz artwork in and around the museum, from the giant mural in the lobby to comic stripped tiles in the restroom (bathroom reading has never been so appealing). It’s fair to say that anyone coming to California for Comic-Con really should make a detour to the Schulz Museum, as it’s one big love affair to Schulz and all the lovable characters (and Lucy) that populate the world of PEANUTS. (For the super-nerds: Not only did I want to go to Santa Rosa to see the Schulz Museum, but wanted to drive around town, since it was the setting for my favorite and perhaps the most underrated of all the Hitchcock movies, SHADOW OF A DOUBT.) ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() These aren’t women who I found extremely loveable to begin with. ![]() I needn’t have worried because I was easily caught up in the feud and the humor of the novel! This is a book you absolutely need to suspend your sense of disbelief for, but once you do it is so much fun! This is not my typical read and I did have a few reservations about reading a book all about feuding moms, not being a mom myself. Celeste is the mom who cooks all organic foods, keeps the kids busy and off the TV, and (in Wendy’s opinion) constantly puts the working moms to shame.Īfter a bit too much sangria (over which they are yet again competing, of course), the two feuding moms both go to bed and wake up not where they expect… a body swap has occurred! They decide to keep this all a secret from the husbands and the kids and everyone else, stepping into each other’s very different life until they can work out a way to get themselves back. Celeste is a stay at home mother of three with a supportive husband. Wendy is a working mom, supporting her slacker artist husband and two children on her business helping people to live more productive lives. THE SEVEN DAY SWITCH begins with two feuding moms and neighbors, Wendy and Celeste. I received a complimentary copy of THE SEVEN DAY SWITCH by Kelly Harms as part of a scheduled Let’s Talk Books promotional tour! Thank you to Lake Union Publishing and the author!

Again and again novelists succumb to the ill-advised yet seemingly irresistible decision to strike back, in writing, against the reviewer who slighted them. We’re taught to turn the other cheek, but the instinct for self-defense is hard to repress. How bad does a negative review sting, how much does it get beneath the skin? it’s been eight years since Jonathan Lethem‘s The Fortress of Solitude was reviewed in The New Republic by James Wood and, as he writes in his essay titled “My Disappointment Critic” at The Los Angeles Review of Books, ”Eight years later, I haven’t quit thinking about it.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() but his own mother makes it clear he doesn't have a choice.
