Hi Iza: yeah I want to see if I can find the Allende series on HBO. I need to read Viet’s The Refugees. I did like The Sympathizer though it took me awhile to get through. I’m still behind on all these movies. But hopefully I’ll catch up. Enjoy your week.

Hey Sarah, thanks for stopping by. I hope you can get the vaccine soon. I’m back in Canada now and under quarantine for 14 days. I think it’ll be awhile before I get the Ishiguro book as I am on a long wait list at the library. I’m wondering if it’s as sad as Never Let Me Go … but I don’t think so. The Allende special on HBO looks good. I hope I get to see it. Enjoy your March.

I read an excerpt of Isabel Allende’s memoir in Spanish, which was easier to read without translation than her novels but still challenging for me after a year and a half of learning the language. Thanks for telling me about the HBO documentary. I’ll check that out. She’s one of my favorite authors.

Oh good Rachel, so glad you were able to get the vaccine – you are on your way! I think my Dad’s reaction to the shot was worse for the first shot than the second but others say it’s vice versa. It seems you’ll be fine. I think I’m #135 for the Klara novel at the library … so I will have to wait too. Good luck. & Enjoy your March.

I hope the second shot went well for your parents. I got my first one a couple of weeks ago with no trouble but I’ve heard the second dose is what usually causes the side effects. It’ll be worth it though!

Ha Jinjer, you crack me up. So I need to stop by your site — for some humor. I better re-check to make sure Minari is on Prime! A lot of pressure to get that right. Ha. But I think it is. I’m so behind on movies you wouldn’t believe. How did you see Nomadland, do you have Hulu? I got to see that. I’m behind on books too. Like you there, I was caregiving for over a month. That’s a lot of energy. Now I’m back so we’ll see. Enjoy your March.

Also didn’t know The Father was going to be streaming soon. It was another $19.99 one I couldn’t afford. $19.99 is like…5 months of Apple TV Plus!!!

I did see and love Nomadland.

I have never heard of author Isabel Allende but put me down for that one on HBO Max.

As for the books you mentioned, I had better not even LOOK at them because they will all end up on my TBR. LOL (But you know I’m going to go back and look, right?)

No problem Laurel. I like visiting your blog. I have it made back into Canada and I’m at home now in quarantine for 14 days. All is well … perhaps I will catch back up on my reading & movie watching. Enjoy your week.

Enjoy your week and your month…and thanks for visiting my blog.

I do hope you get back into Canada!!

Thanks for visiting my blog.
