What a cool variety of titles you have here! Love that you found some Trollope that works for you - I am starting Orley Farm this week and am so very excited about it! Now off to rewatch this with my goodreads handy.

@@katehowereads I hope you enjoy Orley Farm! I took it slowly and made a list of characters and their relationships to each other. It’s helpful to have that list! That being said though, there are scenes in that book that are so well written I still feel like I have memories of seeing them in a costume drama.

First off, I need to say I love Lola. As I listen and watch you, she sometimes is on the chair behind you, watching the screen it appears. She is a smile maker. And other times she is following her muse. haha I have a fifteen year old beagle, Bitty, who is a character in her own right. Also, regarding the book club, I read Jane Eyre the first time twelve years ago during a difficult, grief filled time. I have just begun to reread it last week. I agree with what you said about being different people each time we reread a book. I am looking forward to these two reads. Also having trouble with joining or even finding the book club on Fable. The page comes instead saying I need to be invited.

@@Bookslovejenna Two potters in ancient Syracuse, decide to feed some Athenian prisoners in exchange for them performing Greek plays. The author is Irish/Lebanese and he's written it in an Irish dialect. It wears the information lightly (Ferdia Lennon knows his history and literature) but just unfolds without a didactic author's overview. Given the subjects of slavery, war it isn't a depressing book.The audio book was so good I bought the hardback as well.

I haven’t seen Love Hard, but plan on it. Klaus is so good - have you watched Arthur Christmas, and That Christmas, new on Netflix? They’re wonderful … Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell too! Can’t do The Shining… I love S King, but I can’t watch the movies, I’m wimpy when it comes to watching scary movies:)

I try and watch a couple of Hallmark movies, most are terrible but there are a couple I watch again and again. 'A Season for Miracles' with Lynn Redgrave's cameo. and a very young Mae Whitman - An Auntie runs away with her nephew and niece otherwise they'd be taken into care, the car breaks down and an angel helps her. 'The Spirit of Christmas' is about a lawyer trying to sell a haunted property, the man was murdered during prohibition, the ghost is handsome! Then there's Cary Grant in 'The Bishop's Wife' which I just love. I've read the book but never seen the remake. Then there's 'The Box of Delights' TV series from my childhood, excellent book, a good adaptation.
