Thanks for stopping by :-)
That opera is very intriguing. What type of music is it based on? Does it have a Chinese sound?

More of the European opera sound.
DeleteI loved The House in the Cerulean Sea, I hope you enjoy it too!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, I collected frogs. Eventually, frogs were all that people gave me for Christmas, birthdays, etc. I was overwhelmed with frogs, and I had to stop collecting them.
ReplyDeleteI still like frogs.
I'm eager to hear what you think about The Catch. So many people enjoyed The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Love the golden frog. I'm curious about the Dream of Red Chamber opera. Neat experience.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
I read and loved House in the Cerulean Sea, hope you enjoy it too. Just finished and reviewed The Catch, and Hester is waiting in the wings. Looks like a good reading week ahead. Happy Reading.

I love the gold frog. :) And the gelato place sounds fabulous. I had a favorite gelato place here in a vacation town we often go to- nothing like gelato on a hot day.
ReplyDeleteFlicker looks like a good thriller.
That golden frog is adorable. Now, I'm off to hunt for a gelato place!
ReplyDeleteI love that frog. Hope you enjoy your books. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI have read parts of the Dream of the Red Chamber. I'd love to see the opera.
ReplyDeleteA Little Bit Country is on my TBR. Love the frog, I had a toad jumping around my patio the other night! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed A Flicker in the Dark, I hope you do too. Have a great week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI’ve seen The House in the Cerulean Sea around. It sounds like a book I would enjoy. I love gelato too but it’s much too cold here at the moment to indulge. It’s more hot chocolate weather. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteA Little Bit Country sounds good!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great list of books! A Little Bit Country sounds like something I’d like to read. I love your 3 Happy Things!
