Ooh I love discount movie nights!
ReplyDeleteThat tea shop looks fabulous. Their description has me wanting to try Mr. Knightley's Reserve now. :)
The new Cruella looks so fun and that Christmas Story leg lamp is a classic. Fun idea about the Austen teas. Happy reading this week.
ReplyDeleteOooo! That leg lamp! Love it.
ReplyDeleteAlso...I want to see Cruella!
Your books look good. I want to see Cruella. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI've been keeping a list of happy things since the beginning of the pandemic and it's helped my mood.
ReplyDeleteRecipe for Persuasion and The Woman in the Purple Skirt both sound intriguing. Hope to hear more about these.
Have a lovely week!
Cruella looks fun. I haven't seen a movie in the theater in forever. Sometimes I wonder if I will again with all the home streaming services we've got. My husband wants them all, lol. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI've gotten a couple Austen-themed teas through Bingley's Tea. Fun Leg lamp spotting. Love the Sonali Dev series. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteFALLING sounds pretty intense...hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, and thanks again for being a Mailbox Monday Host.
I have Falling on my ‘to read’ pile. Your new books are both new titles to me. I hope you enjoy them. Interested in seeing Cruella but we are in lockdown now in Sydney, Australia.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a movie in a few years - even before Covid.
ReplyDeleteFalling sounds like a good thriller.
Have a good week and Happy Reading!
