Bookish (and not-so Bookish) Thoughts #1

So it's time for the Thursday meme, Bookish (and not-so Bookish) Thoughts. I am not sure if I can do ten things that are on my mind, but I'll give it a try.

1. So throughout the week, I have been busy participating in Bookish memes, which I find fun so far. I hope I can continue to do this.

2. A major plot is revealed in a Brazilian drama I am watching that is dubbed into Russian, (Slave Isaura,) and its kind of exciting to see what will happen next.(22 out of 100 episodes)

3. Goodreads final rounds are disappointing, mainly because a suspense/thriller I enjoyed, My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing got booted out of the final round. I also am being honest in saying I haven't read any of the choices that were presented, although interestingly enough,I do have a lot of choices on my Goodreads shelf.

4. I am kind of looking forward to December (and no, its not only gifts for New Years!) I am looking forward because December will be kind of a freebie month for me, which means some books I have neglected throughout the year, the hidden gems,  can be read at last! (Here's looking at you Miracle Creek by Angela Kim!)

5. I am frightened to mention how many books I own and refuse to part with, but I need to stack them up in boxes and make a list of which book goes into which box, which is very time consuming...

How is your week going? Anything to look forward to?

Name of Book: Mozart's Wife Author: Juliet Waldron ISBN: 9781461109617 Publisher: Createspace Type of book: 1700s, Mozart, Konstanza, music, partying, drinking, Opera, debt, birth, Vienna, Austria, marriage, rock star status, destruction Year it was published: 2011 Summary: Jon Baxley, Editor of Amazing Authors Showcase says it all in his review. "This author's fictionalized account of Constanze Webber--an extraordinary woman who just happened to marry an even more extraordinary man named Mozart--brings 18th Century Vienna and its people vividly alive. Constanze would have been a remarkable woman for any era, struggling with her own perspective on life while trying to cope and understand the icon composer with whom she chose to share her life. But as an 18th Century woman, she is all the more remarkable. This book is well written and thoroughly researched, that's obvious from the details in dialogue and events. I suspect little of this work is pur

If you partake of watching it, you are not worse nor better than I am. We are simply different than one another, and I don't see TV as pedestrian or opium for the masses or anything of the kind. (Am I dumb that I enjoy video games and have played RPG games in the past? Nope.) I grew up in the '90s, arriving as a religious ethnic minority from former Sovi

So I really want Barbara Kingsolver's new book, DEMON COPPERHEAD which will come out on October 18th, 2022, but I can't get it because its expensive. For some odd reason I haven't really taken a liking to borrowing library books mainly because when I have books I want to make marks within the pages. E-books remind me of my dad and I don't want to my favorite activity to smell of my father. Audio-books, ugh, I need to see to read. I can't even stand watching TV to be honest, which will be a topic for another week. I am seriously thinking that books an
