First glass of wine after Dry January, enjoying this wonderful 1990s movie version of Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband. So many good lines but the above is one of my favorites.
"There still faintly beamed from the woman's features something of the freshness and even the prettiness, of her *youth*; rendering it evident that the personal charms which Tess could boast were in main part her mother's gift, and therefore unknightly, unhistorical." Required reading long ago for my Senior High lit class. Still treasure this find from a little bookshop in London on our Senior trip. #youth #InQuotes @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Another year of celebrating my husband with a Hobbity birthday. We are currently watching Two towers and are resting off our luncheon. #hobbitcore #moviemarathon #birthday
pickI am now in the camp that, for me, the only way to read Tolkien is an audiobook. My brain glazes over all the long lists of names and the songs and plodding plot. But, if it‘s an audiobook with the charming Rob Inglis (or Andy Serkis!) reading it to me, I can be present in the story. #pop23 #bookaboutavacation

pickI loved this novel! I did an immersive read and it took so long! And certainly there were parts that were meandering but I loved the story and I felt so much for all the characters! This is my first GE novel, and she is so good at making you feel drawn towards the humanity of her characters, even through their sins and foibles, the compassion of the narrator made for such a gentle and enjoyable read!

Me, looking around to see if the Ingalls have survived their latest catastrophe. Nature is amazing, how all the animals ran to the water. I appreciated Pa speaking up for the Indians after Mr Scott‘s harsh words.
