 This weekend was pretty fun so far. We celebrated Lunar New Year of sorts, especially when we had a dish from a Chinese restaurant, and steamed rice for my monkey. Today was nice weather so he, I and my mom went to a small farm near my house. Unfortunately they didn't have any cows, although the farm does include Turkey's, chickens, sheep, pigs and donkeys. My monkey was completely enthralled by chickens and loved running into the chicken house and watching the chickens come in, peck at rocks and then leave or peck one another.

Bookwise, I am almost done with Run Me To Earth and perhaps a hundred pages or so away from finishing Stefans Promise. Forgotten Reflections is still halfway through so to speak. Also for February, I made a resolution of reading a lot of books under 300 pages or less...

    I haven't read Sherlock Holmes in ages but you've made me eager to get back to it. And I'm glad you had a lovely Lunar New Year celebration! I hope you're enjoying a lovely weekend and have a great week coming up! Do pop by my round-up post if you have the time :) Juli @ A Universe in Words

      It will actually be my first time reading through it. I was hesistant, but then quite recently I realized that mysteries, thrillers and so forth already dominate my reading life, so why not see what Sherlock Holmes is about?

    I cheated a bit - I got hold of the Definitive Collection of Sherlock Holmes as an audiobook, compiled and narrated by Stephen Fry, which was fabulous:). I hope you enjoy delving into this collection - I loved listening to it. Have a great week.

      I am not sure how listening to an audio book is cheating? I'm not a fan of audio books, but its the same as me reading a print or an ebook copy :D

    I loved the Sherlock Holmes stories and love adaptations of the books as well.

G324 E-Reading Book Review of Mozart's Wife by Juliet Waldron

Image
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 So...

See rules here:  Sunday Post Meme #5 Childhood Memories I sometimes wonder how my six year old son will see his life in the future: will he feel that his childhood was ideal, or will the ideal be simply an illusion that I hope to impart to him? I am sure my parents wished and tried to make sure I remember the good parts of life, and there are fleeting glimpses of fun times such as traveling to a water park or even taking a Disney vacation. But beyond the big gestures, I recall yummy food, videos, music in addition to a whole ton of guilt and anxiety. My son, I hope its safe to say, has probably more of an awesome childhood than I did, and I often hope th...
