Hi Lynda,
I had to move on to a lighte...Hello All,<br /><br />Hi Lynda,<br />I had to move on to a lighter story line after Beartown, none of the characters were very nice at the end of the day, perhaps with the exception of Amat, his mother, and Leo. Otherwise they all had so much emotional baggage it was almost unbearable and that is before the crime is committed. No one seemed to have any happiness, life was just dark and cold for all them just as Beartown seemed to be, something to be endured, never to be enjoyed. A good book, yes, but so depressing. I much preferred A Man Called Ove. :)<br /><br />Hi Pen,<br /><br />I like you approach to the tele and that is kind of how I seem my approach being for the foreseeable future. Watch a show that I have an interest in but not just watch show after show. And, I tend to feel like this in the winter, most years by February I am so sick of myself watching TV, when we were kids it was referred to as the "idiot box", lol, mainly because we are much more so confined to the indoors. The new show you are watching sounds interesting, I am sure it will be on over here at some point, or show up on YouTube.<br />Bean<br /><br />Hi Affectioknit,<br /><br />Bean<br /><br />Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484707482492844677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3208510597428307005.post-20677124695823786012019-01-15T03:51:29.475-05:002019-01-15T03:51:29.475-05:00What a lovely post — thank you!

I rely on it quite a bit for cheerfulness and to give me a rest from my own mind! I like quiz shows and historical documentaries and the milder detective stories. At the moment in England we have a lovely new programme about some modern-day craftspeople living for a month in a beautiful country manor, working on a series of rooms within to recreate the aesthetic (and underlying ethos) of the Arts & Crafts Movement. We have had only one episode so far, but it was so good we watched it twice!<br />On books — I read quite a bit of non-fiction, and my favourite from last year was Hans Rosling's "Factfulness".Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3208510597428307005.post-6973134599532593842019-01-14T21:14:07.475-05:002019-01-14T21:14:07.475-05:00...it looks like your year is off to a great start......it looks like your year is off to a great start...<br />~Have a lovely day!affectioknithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956694289800463441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3208510597428307005.post-14703164596606574212019-01-14T21:12:20.887-05:002019-01-14T21:12:20.887-05:00I've just finished Us Against You.

A friend read it, and seemed to get caught up in all the 'emotional' stuff and didn't like it. I seem to be able to stay emotionally disconnected, and really enjoy analysing the characters, plot, complicated relationships, etc. <br /><br />To each his own... xxLyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372513528828334944noreply@blogger.com
