I hope you enjoy A Tale of Two Cities . I have Shantaram on my TBR, I hope you like it . Well done! I hope you like Hollow City . I'm currently re-reading Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, I'm liking it a lot. I'm not that far into it yet (page 130 out of 622).

odd

I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella

It's not on Dutch Netflix yet. Hopefully it will be at some point, because then at least I have the choice of watching it or not. Thanks, and same! That's why it bothered me so much. The series had not had that happen before, so I assumed this book would be similar. Agreed.

Thank you Brian !

It's nice you read a lot in 2020 . Fingers crossed that vaccinations etc will help. Happy reading in 2021! I hope you find an interesting book (or two) soon that will hold your attention .

Oh wow I didn't know Can You Keep A Secret was out as a film now! I read the book years ago and liked it. Might have to look it up on Netflix and watch the trailer! Then decide if I want to see it or not. I hope you like Shopaholic to the Stars. I liked it but I didn't love it because of the way it ended, at the time I read it, book 8 (Shopaholic to the Rescue) wasn't out yet, and they are meant to go together. And I don't like cliffhangers so . I'm sure I'd enjoy it more upon re-read when I can read book 8 straight after if I want to. I just have Christmas Shopaholic to read, but I wasn't in the mood for it in December (though tbh I was reading a SK book, My (Not So) Perfect Life, with a few other people and I didn't feel like reading 2 in the same month I guess). I liked My (Not So) Perfect Life, I didn't love it like I did with the early Shopaholic books, but I liked it .

I did, thank you ! In fact I liked it so much I struggled to read something else for a while . So I ordered the author's most popular / best reviewed book (The Donor was a novella). I hope you enjoyed whichever book you ended up reading . After The Donor I struggled for a while, then decided to try rereading a short Stilton book (Geronimo Stilton 3: De Piraten van de zilveren Kattenklauw). Later in the day I read Himouto! Umaru-chan volume 8 by Sakakuhead. I then re-read Cakes in Space by Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre, and I re-read Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball by Laura Ellen Anderson (Amelia Fang book 1). I hope to read some more today, as it's the extra day .

Happy reading in 2021 for you too, Chrissy !

I loved seeing your reading statistics and reading your review of 2020, preview of 2021! Happy reading in 2021 . I hope you'll be able to read some of those big reads requiring a lot of time and concentration.

Same. Thanks Hayley . I indeed read nothing on Friday, but yesterday (Saturday) I read 22 pages in The Donor by Claire Macintosh. It's a novella and has just over 100 pages, I hope to at least finish that today and hopefully read something more. That makes sense, it was indeed a strange year. I hope you enjoy your reading . Happy New Year to you too, Karen! Happy New Year to you too Marie ! I hope you have fun reading! Happy New Year to you Hayley! Haha, I'm glad it was an excellent read ! I hope you enjoy The Other World, It Whispers .

Thank you!! I hope you enjoy some wonderful books this year too . Thanks Hayley . Happy reading to you too, Madeleine !

Happy reading in 2021 !

Happy New Year, everyone!! May 2021 be a great year.

Yes, it is the same issue. Yep, it should be fixed after the forum update/move. Good luck Hayley!

Thread opened! I wish you all happy reading in 2021 .

The forum censored the title of book #302 (which has an F, c and k in it as well as an asterisk), so I've written it down like this now (because 'The hmmm Diet' doesn't really say much!).

Last one..

A post, a spot, a spot, pots.

An extra post.

This topic is for posting about any TV /shows/programmes/videos/documentaries/things you've watched recently that are not films (we have a separate thread for that, but most of you know that as you've been here for years). P.S. No spoilers in this thread except in spoiler tags (like in the bookish threads). The last show I saw were two episodes of Fruits Basket, which were quite enjoyable. I'm also watching season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery. It's Friday here today so there may be a next episode up as they are weekly uploaded to Netflix here on Fridays. Not sure though if there will be a new episode today, since it is New Year's Day. We shall see, I'm probably too tired to watch it today anyway. I'm usually kind of a wreck on New Year's Day actually, because the noise of the fireworks keeps me from sleeping. I slept from 22:00 - 0:00, then the fireworks woke me up (and then from 1:ish - 4:30). This year, for the first time in the Netherlands, there is a ban on fireworks, because our hospitals are overloaded with Covid-patients already, and do not need extra injured victims from lighting off fireworks (and yes, despite many warnings and campaigns over the years, still every year people injure themselves). So gladly there were not as many fireworks as usually, at least the ban seemed to have deterred some people. Anyway... sorry for rambling / going off-topic a bit. Most memorable TV things I saw in 2020 (not in any particular order): Good Omens (much better than the book, loved this) Death in Paradise S9 (loved it, looking forward to S10) Doctor Who (S1 -5 ish) (very good, I have not finished S5 yet*) Star Trek: Discovery (very good, with a few things they should have been done differently, *not finished yet) Picard (very good, again a few things should have been done differently, *waiting for next season) Star Trek: TNG, DS9, VY (re-watch of some episodes we really liked) Himouto Umaru-chan (partial re-watch) (loved it) The Grand Tour (S1-4?) (enjoyable) Rick & Morty (2nd half of S4) (loved it) Death Note TV anime series (partial re-watch) (*after reading the manga)(* figured out why I was confused and stopped watching last time, liked it much better this time around, understanding stuff. Manga is also very good.) The Baby-Sitters Club (S1, loved this so much) QI (some eps) Ai Yori Aoshi (partial re-watch)(very good) The Social Dilemma (documentary about social media, very interesting) Dash & Lily (so much better than the book!! Very good.) Fruits Basket (very good, *not finished yet) Because.. then at least something is on-topic in this post .

This topic is for posting about any films you have recently watched. P.S. No spoilers in this thread except in spoiler tags (like in the bookish threads). And I'm kind of a bore because I haven't seen a film in some time. It is difficult for me to concentrate for that long a time, and films are only getting longer these days (in comparison to the 20th century when a lot of films were about 1h 30 mins). I struggle with much shorter times than that. Anyway.. feel free to post about any films you've seen or a film you plan to see etc. These films I saw in 2020: Johnny English Strikes Again Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Ready Player One (re-watch) Spider-Man: Far From Home Beverly Hills Cop Beverly Hills Cop II Beverly Hills Cop III Airplane Ocean's 8 The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (re-watch) Iron Sky: The Coming Race Dirty Dancing (re-watch)
