Update:
Hello, everyone!
It looks like life will be calm for the next while, which is excellent news. I am excited to have more time to read and write book reviews because so many books are on my TBR list!
I’ve been into movies lately and watched many Oscar nominees this year. That took up quite a bit of my spare time last month, but I love to do this every year! More on this below.
Olivia Update 🐾
Olivia has been having a great time in her (relatively) new bed this week! She loves spending time with her Dolphin and Banana friends, napping beneath our piano (her favourite spot). She is also enjoying our new soft carpets, which provide a comfortable space for a super senior cat like her!
My partner and I have officially had Olivia for 10 years! We got her when she was 7.5 years young. There have been lots of cuddles and treats to celebrate.
Reading/Watching Update
Currently Reading
I am about to finish reading The New Couple in 5B, and What You Are Looking For Is In The Library. Great Expectations is a book that I am re-reading, and it just so happens to be my favourite book of all time. I am enjoying it!
No new books to add this week!
Thank you to Libro FM for the ALC of The New Couple in 5B. (All opinions are my own).
Oscar Nominees (Feature Films) We’ve Watched
I may post more on this since we’ve watched so many! My favourite films were The Society of The Snow and The Holdovers. Overall, I was happy that Oppenheimer won Best Picture. Although pleased with the award winners, I was personally rooting for Lily Gladstone for Best Actress. She performed expertly in Killers of the Flower Moon and showed fantastic dedication to the film. Happily noted, I was overjoyed when Da’Vine Joy Randolph won Best Supporting Actress. She was just amazing in The Holdovers!
This Week on the blog

Olivia is doing quite well, isn’t she? Beautiful!
Glad you got to see so many of the movies that were nominated for the various Oscars!
Thank you, Deb! Yes we were very happy to get through a bunch of the list! Some very good movies on it!
I love watching all the Oscar nominees, too, but didn’t manage it this year.
Olivia is so beautiful! I love her.

Did you see “The Boy and the Heron”? I’m looking forward to it, as I’ve been a Miazaki fan for ages.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Yes I did see The Boy and the Heron! The artwork is fantastic!
I’m sorry but Olivia is the gorgeous-est cat of the gorgeous-est cats in the world. I feel like I’m cheating on my cats but I’m so mesmerized by her beauty and photogenetics! I just love the pictures! 😍

Hahaha thank you so much, from myself and Olivia!
I’m glad you and Olivia are happy. I am very allergic. You are reading some fun books. I do schedule posts ahead as I have a full schedule with myself and 4 reviewers on my team. I set up my posts as soon as I get an ARC and then I go back to write my review and schedule it.

That’s wonderful that you have a system that works well! Thank you for your comments, Anne!
For 17.5 yrs Olivia is doing quite well! She’s so pretty! I love the little tips on her ears! I enjoyed The New Couple in 5B. Hope you did, too! Have a lovely week, Sara!

Olivia is beautiful! My girls love bananas too 🙂
I watched a couple of the Oscar movies. I saw Oppenheimer and Poor Things. Both were good. Poor Things is a little strange. Emma Stone is excellent. I want to see Killers of the Flower Moon. That looks good too.
I enjoyed The New Couple in 5B.
Have a great week!
