Even though interviews are definitely not my favouritw kind of text type I enjoyed the interviews with Judi Dench very much. She is a very witty person and her insight on the different characters were very interesting. I‘m going to use excerpts of this book in my English lessons for sure. 💪💪💪

That moment when you‘re reading a book that randomly mentions a country — and you just happen to BE in that exact country! 🤯😀

Ruthiella It was meant to be! 🤯😂 3w

BarbaraBB Very cool. How do you like Bulgaria? 3w
Amiable @BarbaraBB We‘ve been only in the northern part, within an hour or so of the Danube — Veliko Tarnivo, Abanasi, Vidin and Belogradchik. The fortress at Belogradchik was amazing. The Bulgarian landscape in the Balkan Mountains is stunning. The villages and towns so far —okay. A couple on our tour spent time in Sofia and Plovdiv before joining us. They said Sofia was underwhelming and Plovdiv was so great they want to come back there. 3w
Amiable @BarbaraBB Honestly, I‘d say Romania was my favorite so far, particularly Braşov. Although the food there is heavier (lots of pork and sausage) so I‘m enjoying the Bulgarian cuisine better —I don‘t feel like I need to take a nap after every meal! 3w
BarbaraBB Thank you for sharing! I am very intrigued by Romania, I‘ve never been there. And in Bulgaria only a few days in Sofia which I liked but I envy you for traveling there 🤍 3w

An entertaining autobiography of a movie icon and what is surprising a very humble and insecure man.

I can't possibly pick favorites from this list. So random thoughts, instead:

🩵 Up is my favorite movie ever. It warms my icy heart. I cry 3 times during it to this day.
🩵 Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of my favorite actors. I'm so sad he died so young.
🩵 When Pulp Fiction came out, our local art theatre showed it during their Oscar series, and a bunch of elderly ladies who were regulars walked out in disgust. 🤣🫠

dabbe I gulp-sob snot out of my nose every time I watch the opening of UP! 😭 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 2mo
dabbe Fab score, too! 🤩🤩🤩 2mo
lil1inblue @dabbe Yeah, the opening scene is definitely an ugly cry for me, too. 😭 And the score is because the era covers my high school years, when I had a crush on a boy who wanted to become Stanley Kubrick. 😂 He broke my teenaged heart, but he also introduced me to so many good films! 😉 2mo
dabbe @lil1inblue At least one good thing came out of it! 🤗 2mo

Wonderful! I will have to plan an entire day for watching Al‘s 🎥 ‘cause somehow, I‘ve not seen many of them😳

I absolutely love listening to autobiographies/memoirs that are read by the author(s). I‘m always fascinated & intrigued by their life experiences.

MemoirsForMe Agreed! Love when celebs narrate their own books and need to see more Pacino films after this great read. 🙌🏻 2mo
DieAReader @MemoirsForMe 💖🎬So many movies to watch!! 2mo
CoverToCoverGirl I‘m excited for this one, but my library hold is still several weeks away. 2mo

I‘ve always had the hots for Al Pacino, so spending time with him via his memoir was a real treat. ☺️ You get to meet the incorrigible kid, the deeply passionate thespian & the self-reflective guy behind all those iconic movie characters. Al speaks fondly of his boyhood friends, mentors, fellow actors & his many loves who are still friends, and he‘s simply charming and quite funny! I did get to see him in a play on Broadway in ‘77: Ooh la la!

MemoirsForMe Thank you @Sleepswithbooks for the gift of this sexy man‘s memoir. Now I can‘t wait to rewatch his many movies. 🤗❤️ 3mo
AmyG Ha, who didn‘t have a crush on him? 3mo
MemoirsForMe @AmyG 😁😁😁 Glad I‘m in such good company! 3mo

This was a delight. Brendan O‘Hea and Dame Judi cover her extensive work in numerous productions of Shakespeare‘s plays. In the audio, Judi recites famous lines from memory and her reminiscences are read by Barbara Flynn. Their discussions reveal a spirited kind woman in love with her craft and the words of the man who pays the rent. I am inspired to watch Judi‘s past performances. 4.5 ⭐️
