Sounds a plan.. do what works for you.. Welcome Anna !

Today I watched my first ever Guido Brunetti movie from library loans. I've read every Donna Leon of the series so this was a treat!
Additional surprise being English subtitled to German dialogue (though no mention of that on front cover).
Blood from a Stone
A few more to watch, so I'll update as I go..

That is my usual go-to as well William!
I dont have all my belongings with me, but found the Keira Knightley / Matthew McFadyen on the shelf so I enjoyed the variations that version offered... especially noting changes in Brenda Blethyn's role interpretation and the differences in portrayal of opulence .
We could do a group watch if you'd like .. feel free to share any other titles of interest. I have Persuasion, Emma and Sanditon on request from library wait list..

Sounds like a great plan William. I know it works for me so I repeat the challenge! Hoping you're settled well.. was it an E or W move?
My move across the city almost did me in and it was reading that kept me sane 😊

A little extra 🔎when you check the covers of audiobooks should reveal the word ' audio' ... audio company names included
Eg oasis audio , brilliance audio, christian audio, audio go, tantor audio, hachette audio, etc

Anyone else reading A Christmas Carol ?

Jump in with your fav 🔎version for a 🎄Buddy read
