Yes, you've seen Carrie Preston. She portrays the spunky Arlene Fowler on one of my favorite shows, True Blood on HBO. She won an Emmy for “Guest Actress In A Drama” in 2013 for her recurring role as Elsbeth on The Good Wife. Carrie also plays Grace on Person of Interest playing the girlfriend of her real life husband, Michael Emerson.

I asked Carrie just that on Twitter recently. She answered, "@kellypolark: What's your fav book/current read?”I'm reading by & loving it &loved the Goldfinch by ."

Thanks so much, Carrie!

On Sunday he tweeted, "Finished Dune.So now I'm either going to read the rest of the series right away or hit some other sci fi classics first."

Yesterday Way tweeted, "More than halfway through Dune Messiah, Muad'Dib has mad haters."
And then, "To anyone reading Dune,I hope you are enjoying it as much as I did.After Messiah I may check out a different Sci Fi classic before 'Children."

Just this afternoon, Gerard tweeted, "So I just finished Dune Messiah. Great ending, off to 'Children."
