I do want to read more! There is so much etiquette that’s full of meaning but I totally missed 🤷‍♀️

There are many film versions of Macbeth to choose from, of course, but this film is excellent. Good god the witches!! Kathryn Hunter is *perfect*. And the set design! Not real yet not a stage: somehow better than either? Plus Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand of course. Great stuff.

Finally I just watched the 1995 production; it’s my ultimate comfort show. Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth forever! 🥰Although I am executed to see the newest version—I’ll follow Olivia Colman pretty much anywhere.

I also listened to the new Audible performance, as I’m using up the last of those credits. At 4.5 hours, it’s more like a radio show than a reading, with excellent performances and top-notch production. The language has been modernized though; not my favorite but very accessible for new audiences.

Tell me your pips is back

Ha and I’m over here thinking why didn’t I read these earlier! And when can I read them again? And what else am I missing?? What a problem to have 💙

I totally agree! And that got me running to see if it’s on Edmonton’s list (it’s not)

It is. Should be required reading and I’m from NS and I didn’t even know

Time War and Chronicle of a Death: I want to reread immediately.

Evenings and Weekends didn’t live up to the hype for me. There were some lovely moments but if they’d all just talk! The Berry Pickers: I wanted to go much deeper.

But then I read some truly great books so the good ones paled a bit.

It’s on my list too. The final scene is perfect.

Thank you! I wish I could sit in the back of your class! 💙

Daaaamn. I NEED to read this again.

My daughter read it in high school. Such a fantastic choice! 💙 And sounds like a lot of fun—I wish I had read it then (is that weird?) and we could have had some interesting discussions.

…but about discovering how an entire community is complicit. The deeper you go, the more widely the responsibility spreads. I wish I had read the book with my handy dandy notebook at hand, making little notes about the complicit. I’ll pick up a paper copy and read this again, for sure.

Wild—I just spontaneously picked up a copy of this one. Had heard of it but know virtually nothing

Also Darf is a tiny publisher in London that focuses on books from the Middle East and North Africa. I discovered them while doing The StoryGraph Reads the World Challenge 🌍 #20indiebookchallenge

You, then, are living in an apartment in the busy center of the city, but are a recluse, and a grumpy one at that. Can’t even bond with cats, but there is a parrot who’s all right.
