Descansar y leer. En mi caso estoy leyendo un libro de vampiros, Se llama Glacier y es mitad vampiro y mitad gárgola. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteA half-vampire, half-gargoyle book is such a cool, unique concept for a weekend read.
DeleteA Gentleman In Moscow is a wonderful book, a man in Moscow is forced to live in a hotel and never leave it for decades by the dictators. He creates a pretty nice life! TV with a bit of humor: Fisk (an eccentric female lawyer), A Son of a Critch (sweet, about growing up in Newfoundland Canada).
ReplyDeleteA Gentleman in Moscow is a total classic. Thanks for the TV recommendations, too! Fisk sounds quirky and fun, and I always need a sweet coming-of-age story like A Son of a Critch in my queue.
DeleteHello, Melody! I would recommend watching the International Music Competition "Intervision 2025". The link is in my last post.
ReplyDeleteThat's very thoughtful of you to follow up with the link!
DeleteWe have our Grand Final of AFL Football Saturday afternoon, so I'll be watching that.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret, how did it go?
DeleteEverything makes you feel good!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a wedding in Long Island, New York (about 2 hour ride from us) this weekend so we will be leaving Friday and staying over for Saturday. I would recommend a good book called, The Goddess of Warsaw- It's a mystery story that is based on historical fiction that takes place in modern Hollywood with flashbacks to WW2 and the Holocaust.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the book recommendation. The Goddess of Warsaw sounds absolutely incredible. A Hollywood mystery fused with the powerful history of the Warsaw Ghetto is a brilliant and intense premise. I love how it connects those seemingly distant worlds
DeleteVoy a proponer un libro escrito por estadounidense Washington Irving durante su estancia el el palacio Nazarí de la Alhambra de Granada "Cuentos de la Alhambra".
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
That is a truly fantastic suggestion.
DeleteOlá, querida amiga Melody!
ReplyDeleteUma boa leitura nos leva a viajar por outros patamares onde nos afastamos do cotidiano e ganhamos outras reflexões e ânimo.
Tenha um final de semana abençoado!
Beijinhos fraternos
That is right,
DeleteWhat a fantastic idea for a post, Melody! I'm going to finish up The Summer I Turned Pretty this weekend, and have loved it so far!
ReplyDeleteMake Life Marvelous
That is a great choice.
DeleteNothing for me Melody. I am working Nightshift Fri and Sat night! So sleeping haha!!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I hope you are not working the night shift. This weekend.
DeleteAll I feel like doing is sleeping
ReplyDeleteSleeping and sleeping, the best feeling is when you wake up and just have food placed in front of you and then a holiday movie...humm, refreshing.
Deleteif you like astronomy, 'the planets' by dava sobel is a hidden gem. it's an essay that also includes some mythology references and a little bit of humour from time to time.
ReplyDeletea song? 'sex is not the enemy' by garbage. unfortunately, i studied in a strictly religious school, and according to their ideas, sexuality was just that: an enemy,
That's another set of fascinating and deeply personal recommendations, thank you.
DeleteWhat a fun post! There is a YouTube channel (Jake Westbrook) that posts all sorts of vintage music playlists. Lately, I have been listening to the fall and Halloween themed ones. They are so much fun and I definitely recommend them now that fall is here!
ReplyDeleteI've looked up the channel and found several vintage autumn and Halloween-themed playlists, which I've included a link to below. The blending of vintage music—which often has a wonderful, cozy nostalgia—with the festive, spooky atmosphere of fall and Halloween is a brilliant idea.
DeleteThank you for yet another great recommendation to add to our list of shared interests!

St Pete, Florida had a free museum day and we went to the Imagine Museum. It was fabulous!

Fabulous.
DeleteVisiting my great granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to have a blast.
DeleteМне понравилась книга "From London with Love" by Sarah Gio. Тёплая, интересная, с выдумкой.
ReplyDeleteИ, конечно, из последних событий культурной жизни - посмотрите трансляцию Международного конкурса "Интервидение - 2025", там было невероятно интересно, какие певцы из разных стран, какие костюмы и голоса, а какие потрясающие технологии использованы. Мы смотрели всей семьёй, и согласны с выбором жюри - номер певца из Вьетнама был очень крутой!
That sounds like a perfect combination of a cozy, heartwarming book and a spectacular, unifying cultural event.
DeleteWell, I recently watched the first season of Shadow and Bone and liked it. I thought it was a good adaptation of the book. I started the second season but didn't have the time to see it yet. So, that's my two cents.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ivana.
DeleteRest in my soft armchair :D
ReplyDeleteKisses!
The best, and do nothinggggggggggg.
DeleteI just saw the Downton Abbey finale movie and if one is a fan of the show, I'd suggest it. It wraps things up nicely and it's simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, I have heard of it; I'm not sure I have seen it. Thanks for the recommendation.
DeleteJa wczoraj obejrzałam cały 3 sezon serialu Alice in Borderland. Coś lekko podobnego do Squid game i delikatnie nawiązuje do Alicji w Krainie czarów. Ja wręcz uwielbiam ten serial. Trzeba oglądnąć od pierwszego sezonu. Myślę żeby Ci się spodobał. Jeśli chodzi o muzykę to bardzo mi się podoba Lunatic Soul, Riverside, Melancholic Węchu to chińska muzyka ludowa. Ciekawa jestem czy coś Ci podejdzie. Pozdrawiam najserdeczniej Kochana Melody
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful to hear from you, Kasia. I appreciate you sharing your excitement for Alice in Borderland and your music tastes.
