Here are a few books that I'll be reviewing soon but won't be part of my summer reading challenge because I started/finished them much earlier.
Ann Dvorak: Forgotten Rebel by Christina Rice
Fritz Lang: The Nature of the Beast by Patrick McGilligan
Hollywood Digs: An Archaeology of Shadows by Ken LaZebnik
Share your list with me by commenting below! You can post your summer reading list on your blog or create a Goodreads bookshelf. I'll add your links to this post and to the main page for the book challenge.

Well, as long as it doesn't have to be final...
ReplyDelete- I recently finished Sinclair Lewis' MAIN STREET, which inspired the movie I MARRIED A DOCTOR, so that'll be first. Should go up this week.
- I own a copy of LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER, which was made into a foreign film in the 50s (French, I think), so that'll probably be next.
- I have a graphic novel called THREE FINGERS, which is kinda like WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT as directed by David Cronenberg. It's set during the studio era of Hollywood.
- I also have a Marilyn Monroe biography.
Beyond these, I don't know yet.
I'm really looking forward to your review of the new Ann Dvorak biography!
