CURSE OF THE BLUE TATTOO: BEING AN ACCOUNT OF THE MISADVENTURES OF JACKY FABER, MIDSHIPMAN AND FINE LADY, by L.A. Meyer

OK, I admit I am hooked on this adorable Young Adult series about the adventures of Jacky (Mary) Faber.  Utterly charming, this series by Louis Meyer focuses on a poor orphan girl, full of spunk and sass, who is constantly getting into seafaring trouble.  In this installment, the second in the multi-book series, she’s off to finishing school.  How a little rogue like Jacky will survive it, I can’t wait to find out.

DALLAS, Season 14

OK, this is one of my big guilty pleasures.  The lives of wealthy oil barons as they fight and love their way through completely ridiculous and implausible situations…who can resist?  I’m almost sad that this is the last season and it will all end.  I hear that Patrick Duffy (Bobby) is directing a new Dallas series in the works.  Can it possibly live up to the original?
