I recorded #HighTide several weeks ago after missing it when it was on #NoirAlley a while back. Finally got around to watching it last night. This one is a real hidden gem. And surprisingly high quality for a film released thru Monogram. #tcmparty

#NowReading Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen. When I initially read the synopsis it sounded like an old house mystery, which normally isn't my cup of tea, but I've been pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed reading the second book in the series a couple weeks ago, and decided to give this one a try.
