Bookish ( and not so bookish) thoughts #2



So another week has passed since I began to do bookish memes. I am really surprised at the speed of time.

1. My train obsessed monkey and I had fun in the library on Tuesday and looked over books about frogs ( fascinating) as well as gorgeous and breathtaking butterfly pictures. Today we went to a children's museum where he spent practically more than three hours playing with...trains.

2. I hadn't been watching Slave Isaura due to the fact I am reading A Hero is Born by JIN Yong and since i have a thing for finishing chapters, and these chapters are very VERY long...well I tend to lack time in watching the drama.

3. This is probably the first time that I have an urge to watch a Chinese drama just to see Jin Yongs tale in action.

4. I am crossing my fingers that some books will arrive soon, namely Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie WROBEL, which deals wih Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, and maybe The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park.

5. To be honest, I don't really place any importance on Thanksgiving, and just wish places and mail couls work.

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
