What's making us happy: A guide to your weekend listening, viewing and reading
Each week, the guests and hosts on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour share what's bringing them joy. This week: Dawnlands: A Novel, Addams Family Values, Wind of Change and Turnstile.
This week, Michelle Obama gave us her sage advice, we put our roller skates on, and learned what makes us dance.
Here's what the NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour crew was paying attention to — and what you should check out this weekend.
Dawnlands by Philippa Gregory
This is so on-brand I'm almost embarrassed. Philippa Gregory has a new novel, and she is, of course, the doyenne of historical fiction. She wrote and "70 million books" about the Tudors. the third book in her series came out last week. It is set during the English Civil right now. But I'm just not feeling it. Give me , give me slapping petticoats against ankles and bleeding hands and show me how to make a loaf of bread. Anyway, I loved it. I highly recommend these books to people that are not Tudor obsessives.
