I read A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles during the pandemic (LOVED IT), and recently watched the miniseries with Ewan McGregor, which was also excellent. As far as books, I'm on the second Kingbridge series by Ken Follett. They read like a series (and I think they've been made into ones) and 1200 pages later, I'm hooked! xo
Thanks for the recommendation of A Gentleman in Moscow - you’re the second person to mention that! So it’s now on the my read me list (which is growing day by day 😂☺️). I didn’t know that there was a miniseries, so I’ll see where I can find that too.
And confession… I’ve never read anything by Ken Follett! Also added to the list - I need some summer readsz
Haha it was weird! Initially I asked about the cost of something and the woman there looked like I had swore at her - then she said nothing was for sale 😂 and I agree, it should have been labelled as a museum.
Love the kite photograph. Have seen “Her” thought it was really interesting. We recently had a sort of remake in India. The Ripley series I thought was far better than Matt Damon’s film. The series is a photographers delight. What angles really mesmerising. Enjoyed reading this post Sarah.
Thanks Shital - I did see the advert for the Netflix show of TTMR and saw that it has been shot in black and white. It definitely adds a noir feel to the show, but I wonder if I will miss the lush colours of Italy! I will give the show a shot this weekend.
And that's really interesting that Her was remade in India - how did you find it? The original definitely feels eerier to me now that AI feels like it is everywhere (or least it's in the news).

Be careful what you wish for! Gentleman and Pillars of the Earth are TOMES. 😂😂😂
That "store" is freaking bizarre. Why would someone do that? Maybe they should relabel it a museum.
