TV Review: The Residence

 


Haven't done one of these in a while, but this show spoke to me.


What I like:
The multiple suspects
The birding - which was usual
Detective Cupp was funny - direct - and smart
White House setting
Randall Park
The jurisdiction questions - especially the Park Service  
The Twists and Turns
The Reveal

I highly recommend this show and I do hope there's another season planned.

Confessions of a First Daughter (www.teensreadtoo.com)

Morgan, aka the Tornado, has a unique talent for messing up and getting into trouble. Normal teens might get away with some of her mishaps, but not the President’s daughter. Since she’s in the limelight, some of her escapades actually become news. She’s just lost her school’s presidential race. She’s trying to juggle her boyfriend, schoolwork, and a best friend all while under intense security scrutiny. When her security detail switches, she finds herself developing feelings for her Secret Service bodyguard. Morgan’s also having a hard time communicating with her mother. Their talks are always interrupted with special meetings and phone calls. It seems like her mother has time for everyone in the world, except her only daughter. When her mother needs to address a vital situation, Morgan fills in as the President of the United States.While Morgan simply wants to live a normal life, is it possible to have average experiences given that she lives in the White House? Or will she adjust and learn to like the advantages that come with her mother’s station?

se of a first daughter’s life filled with hilarious moments, a little romance, and saving the world one meeting at a time. Morgan’s adventures are not to be missed.
I have to admit that I don't like the cover of this book - it just doesn't speak to me. But the story was super cute and funny.

It reminded me of these titles:
