The Sunday Post #22

Update:

Hello everyone! It’s been another busy week for me, but I’ve managed to be fairly productive. Recently, I discovered that I can make lists on NetGalley, so I’ve created a list of widgets that I’ve been invited to read. This way, I won’t forget what I have available to me. Apart from that, I’m enjoying the warmer weather.

PS – Please don’t “furr-get.” The Catathon Readathon is coming up on April 20-21st!

Olivia Update 🐾

Olivia is doing well and enjoying watching the birds outside our balcony door. Here she is, being a gem.

Reading/Watching Update

Currently Reading

I am almost finished reading two books from NetGalley: One Long Weekend, published by Boldwood Books, and Bad Dreams in the Night, from Andrews McMeel Publishing. I am taking my time reading Great Expectations and thoroughly enjoying it! Additionally, I am slowly making my way through The Warmth of Other Suns, which has been an excellent read.

Added to My NetGalley Shelf

The publisher invited me to read this by Celadon Books, but I just remembered I hadn’t downloaded the ARC. I will get around to this one very soon!

Currently Watching

We only have the finale left! It has hits and misses, but Kate Winslet is so good.

Recently Finished

I found Ripley very interesting and liked it overall! I watched the whole series in two days. Although I haven’t read the books, I have watched parts of the adaptation starring Jude Law and Matt Damon — The Talented Mr. Ripley. If I get the chance, I’d like to watch three adaptations and compare and contrast them.

The Phantom of the Opera is a movie I’ve watched multiple times. I honestly don’t know how many times I’ve seen it, but it’s been quite a lot. There are parts that I like more in the Broadway version with Sierra and Ramin. Here, I’ll leave my favourite performance by Sierra. I cry every time I watch it! I hope you enjoy it too. I’ll also leave my favourite performance from the movie, which features Emmy Rossum and Patrick Wilson. They are a pleasure to listen to, and Patrick is my favourite Raoul, hands down!

And, of course, since I’m going through a classic film phase, I have to continue watching James Stewart.

  1. Impressive that you are reading “The Warmth of Other Suns.” I found the descriptions of inhumanity to so many people so depressing that I couldn’t read past around the first 1/3 of the book. I found her book “Caste” to be fascinating and not as full of human suffering.

      1. I’m about midway through, the first part was challenging to get through but it’s very well researched. I haven’t read Caste but I would like to!

  4. Making an invite list on Netgalley is a great idea! I sometimes forget my invite emails, too. Olivia is so cute, as usual! I have Listen For the Lie from my library. I just need to make time to listen to it! Hope you enjoy it! Have a lovely week, Sara! 🙂

  5. The weather seemed to be warming up here last week but it’s been cold and rainy this weekend. I think I see the sun beginning to peek out from behind the clouds, so maybe the warmer weather will be back soon. Olivia is lovely as always! My cats like to watch the birds from the window too. 🙂

    I am glad you are enjoying your current reads. I have heard great things about The Warmth of Other Suns and want to read that someday myself.

    I want to see Ripley and am glad to hear you liked it!

    Have a wonderful week, Sara!

  6. I do the exact same thing with NetGalley lists! It’s great for that.

    I hope you enjoy Listen for the Lie. It was one of my favorites so far this year.

  7. Our book club read Phantom of the Opera this month, and there were lots of groans about it from book club members I talked to. We discuss it tomorrow, so we will see.

    I shared your Catathon Readathon with my friend, Rae. I hope she gets a chance to participate. Maybe I can join in if I can find my cat puppet!
