Hi Jane, I think Project Hail Mary might be a fun movie even if we’re not into sci-fi. Perhaps it’ll be the humor … and Gosling factor — I agree. lol.
And it’s quite amazing how many productions of Monte Cristo there have been. But I’m open to seeing the latest one too. I hope you like it. Enjoy your Scotland reads & have a great week.

Good to know! I usually can handle a little spookiness. Cheers.

It’s a little spooky for sure, but I have low tolerance for creepiness and I did fine with it!

I’m setting up to record The Count of Monte Cristo. Should be great.
None of the books really appeal, and my TBR shelf and Reading Scotland is consuming me currently.

Hi Karis, thx for telling me about School Spirits …. I don’t know that show so I will look it up. I hope you enjoy the next season. It looks spooky, lol. Cheers. & Happy March.

Hi Joy — Wow a thunderstorm? …. That seems early. I guess spring is on the way. I hope the flowers come out soon.
I think the Hail Mary movie might be good on the big screen … but I agree seeing it at home is comfortable. My husband still likes to drag me out to the theater, lol. Old school. I hope you enjoy the movie. Enjoy your week. & Happy March.

Hi Sam, yeah it sounds like everyone gave up on the Scarpetta novels long ago, ha … but maybe the TV series can salvage something. And I will likely need to read the new Toibin collection of short stories … so I’m going to add it to my library list. He’s too good to miss.
I liked The Martian novel so will still need to get to Project Hail Mary …. but I’m hopeful for the movie. Though it’s hard to beat or come near a good book. I think you should go in with lower expectations … just in case.
It’s nice you’re having warm weather — it sounds like your spring is in motion there! Love to see spring emerge. Have a great week.

Hi JoAnn, good to hear — you’ve warmed up there. So many new releases in March! I saw Sweeney’s new novel … and might consider it — if you like it. I listened to her novel Good Company a few years back and I was a bit up & down on it. But there was enough good to try her new novel.
And I agree I’m a bit curious about Kidman in Scarpetta … I sort of have low expectations … so hopefully it’ll work out. The new Monte Cristo looks pretty good. Enjoy your beach walks. And we’ll see if I can stop the muddy dog paws from coming inside, lol. Cheers.

I really liked the novel Project Hail Mary, so I’m looking forward to the film. It might even get me to the theater, but we have such a nice set-up at home that I usually just wait until it’s available streaming.
