Do you have a bookworm life?  While l don't read many books these days l listen to audiobooks nearly everyday. I'm walking or on the bus most days and listening to the latest book. I like the sound of being a bookworm. As l have said many times l love the arts and see a lot of things. Well, l'm listening to a book when l'm traveling to the shows.  It's a grand life. Let me know if you're a bookworm like me.

I've seen another film.  Yes, 2 in 2 weeks, most unusual. This past week it was Frankenstein and what a good film it was. I haven't read the book so don't know how faithful this film is to it. A big production that was written well, acted well; it was a good film. The acting was good from all cast members and, the actor who played the being must have spent hours in makeup to look the way he did. It's a film that is a horror from start to finish with themes that make you think about them afterwards. My takeaway is that Victor was the true monster. How lucky am l to see 2 good films recently and l've seen the shorts of a film that is releasing in November and l will see that one too. Frankenstein 4 out of 5 stars.

An interesting film.  I can't really remember the last time l saw Julia Roberts in a film.  The performances of all the cast were good and this was an interesting film that made me think about afterwards; the sign of a good film l think. Have you seen this film?

Sonnet 20  And we are still talking to a fair youth. Enjoy 

 We are up to sonnet 19. There is already a change. Hope you are enjoying the sonnets as much as l do.

 There is a new book out in this series. This is the 5th book in the series and l currently have it queued on my audible app. These are enjoyable books to read. 4 elderly pensioners living in a retirement village. Now, that premise doesn't sound very interesting but, somehow, these books work. Not quite cosy English crime but they are in that vein. I saw the Netflix adaptation as well. Of course, like most books, there were some changes made for the screen. I do think that they got the characters right. Books nearly always get changed for filming. It makes sense as the films would be hours long if a book was followed faithfully and who wants to sit through a film that long! So it is in the queue. Now all l have to do is finish listening to the J.D. Robb book.
