Hi Stargazer, Yeah I can understand that. It is a risk and it usually can’t compare with the book — see it at your own curiosity. I need to read the book first! I’m the last on the planet not to have gotten to the Count. I’m glad you liked it.
Enjoy your week.

Darn Showtime? I wonder if we get that. It seems like Paramount+ should give it to you. Isn’t it crazy. What a gyp. I need to focus on the book — so I’ll pass on the show for now.

I did plan to watch the series, until I found out we have to have Showtime. We do have Paramount+ but not Showtime. Oh well. Maybe someday. If it gets lots of good reviews.

Hi Tracy, I will let you know when I get to these. They sort of pile up for a while and then I get to them eventually. And I still need to read A Gentlemen in Moscow. I have read two of Towles’s other books, but I still haven’t read his most acclaimed. I’m glad you liked it and do you plan to watch the series? Have a great weekend.

I was surprised and pleased to see that there will be an adaptation of A Gentleman in Moscow. I liked the book and hope the adaptation is good too.

I’m glad you clarified that about your checkouts there. I misunderstood. We also have automatic renewal after 3 weeks too (if there’s no one waiting) which is great! I love having that.
I really hope there’s no fires starting — we had a good storm on Saturday and got about 6 inches of snow. For some reason, I’m hopeful the fires wont be as bad as last summer. Something about El Nino leaving and El Nina coming, though it might not be till fall. So perhaps we could be doomed again. ugh. Hope not.

To clarify, my library check outs are for 3 weeks, but they automatically renew them for another 3 if there aren’t any requests for the book. Pretty nice, eh?

I’m glad you got more snow. I just read something today (maybe in the New York Times or NPR news) about fire season already beginning in Alberta. Ugh.

Hi Jenni, wow it’s good you’ve seen the movie twice so far and I’m sure it’s hard to live up to the book for you. I did not get to the movie this weekend but I hope to see it soon. It’s a big box office winner so far.
I think I’ll get to two of the five library books this time … and will probably have to get the other three back another time. It’s crazy when they come in at once, right? Enjoy your week.

How interesting and good to know. I’ll check out those titles too. The Ghost Bride sounds good. I’m interested to read Choo — though I have a few books before hers in my pile … but I will get to her writing! Thanks for your input and advice. Looking forward to her books.
