This has been a good week for book and movie arrivals here.
Currently Reading / Testament of Youth by Vera Brittain (buddy read with JoAnn)
Just finished
The Shepherd's Life by James Rebanks - review
here and plan to read
Pastoral Song soon.
Also in bookish updates, The Classics Club. announced their Spin so I made my list of 20 possibilities. It's my first time participating and it was fun making my list. My Spin List is HERE and I see (as of Sunday) the book I'll be reading is Brideshead Revisted by Evelyn Waugh.
Book Accessories / When I am not reading on a Kindle I can read anywhere but physical books require sufficient light in the evenings. Recently I broke out my pretty book light and it's helping me get more book time late.
The horizontal position of this light works better than an older one I had with a vertical drop. It also provides more light across both page surfaces.
Watching
Part of my library loot this week was Force of Nature and Severance. In the mailbox was Cosmos. Force of Nature followed the Jane Harper book of the same name, the second one in the Aaron Falk series. Set in Australia and I am looking forward to the next one.
Severance was completely weird and in the beginning we almost stopped watching. But wow, after about 15 minutes or so things start coming together and we were hooked. Such cliff hangers. Looking forward to season 2 when the library can order it...I am probably looking at waiting a year so please, no spoilers!
Cosmos was an independent film made on a shoe string budget about amateur astronomers. The newest member of a team makes a discovery using radio signals from an unexpected origin. This is set in England.
I love Brideshead Revisted , its a great read
ReplyDeleteI've almost finished my spin book, so I might read Brideshead as my next CC pick. I like your book light!
ReplyDeleteBrideshead Revisited feels like something I should have read but haven't. I did enjoy the series from the 1980s a couple of years ago.
