Top Ten Tuesday – Bookish Goals for 2024
It’s the beginning of a new year, and Bookish Goals for 2024 is this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl. Generally speaking I’m no longer into the New Year’s resolutions, but it was fun to pause and really think about my book-related resolutions for the year.
Shayda – Film Review
Based on real-life experiences, this tender and harrowing movie is an impressive and deeply felt debut telling the story of an Iranian mother and her daughter trying to rebuild their lives in Australia.
The Holiday – Film Review
I’ve watched a few Christmas movies over the festive season, including this corny but charming 2006 romantic comedy about two women swapping homes and lives.
Leave the World Behind – Film Review
I like my apocalyptic drama and I liked many things about this adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s 2020 novel, even if my final thought was, I bet the book was better.
Godzilla Minus One – Film Review
I went to IMAX Melbourne to see what for me turned out to be the most surprising movie of the year.
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes – Book Review
I almost never cry over books these days, but I can admit that Daniel Keyes’ thought-provoking, heart-wrenching novel is one of the few recent reads that made me tear up.
The Listerdale Mystery by Agatha Christie – Book Review
I assumed I was done with Christie’s short stories, but I was wrong: there remained twelve more tales of intrigue to finish, which mostly land on the fun and frothy end.
La Poeté by Marc Chagall
I rarely remember my dreams these days, but a giant blue cat floating over a village sounds like a dream I wouldn’t mind having.
