Thanks for stopping by :-)
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine was a good one!
ReplyDeleteI loved Eleanor Oliphant...and Mrs. March caught my eye. Wow! Peyton Place! Maybe I need to reread this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
I've been seeing Cinderella everywhere this weekend. I plan to watch it this week when I have a chance. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you say there's a movie about a character named Mae? No way!
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
El Mansour sounds great and those balloon clusters are fun. Ooh, way to score with Eleanor Oliphant.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Those veggies are cool! :)
ReplyDeleteYour books look good too- I love thrillers and cozies lately.
Fun happy things for you. Murder in a Teacup looks like a fun cozy.
ReplyDeleteYou get interesting books at the Little Free Library. Oh my - Peyton Place!??!
Reminiscence sounds interesting. I'm curious about the new, changed Cinderella.
Have a good week and Happy Reading!
I didn't know a thing called Quirkle existed, but it sounds delightful! Mrs. March and The Sleeping Nymph both look amazing, definitely adding those to my TBR. I hope you have a lovely week :)

I liked Eleanor!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover on Mrs. March.
ReplyDeleteENJOY your books and your week.
Sounds like you had some great things going on. I've never tried Moroccan food, but would like to. Greek festivals are coming up this month, so we will get to eat some of that.
ReplyDeleteBombshell and Murder in a Teacup caught my eye. Hope you enjoy your new books.

What a great variety of books you're reading. Though I am purging my books, after I read Eleanor Oliphant and liked it so much I added it to my personal bookshelf.
ReplyDeleteMoroccan food is something I am eager to try one of these days. It sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYou found some great books in the Little Free Library. I'm always delighted with what turns up in mine. I hope the takers are as pleased with what I leave for them.
I'm eager to watch Reminiscence. I'd like to look for Cinderella, too.
I really enjoyed the Cinderella along with my daughter; the music was good. The other movie was just ok for me. It was a little slow to get going but I enjoyed it overall.
