Today's Monday Night Hockey is The Jets vs The Sharks. So now I have this stuck in my head: https://youtu.be/twbuT1V5mFE?si=OZWRSdfkL4zPu_v6

I saw part of the 1948 Olivier Hamlet last night, and it gave me the urge to reread this. It's been a few years, but it's one of my favorite Shakespearean plays. Nothing like a reread of an old favorite on a cold winter's night!

First listened to this book 2 years ago. Loved it. 😍
Rereading it and annotating it! Then I'll be sending it to my friend who hasn't read it yet and he'll also be annotating it. A traveling bookclub if you will. :) so fun!

Dark academia and magical realism books have my soul. 💯👏

In Ovid's "Metamorphoses," love and hate are deeply intertwined with the central theme of transformation. The plays A Midsummer Night's Dream (Pyramus&Thisbe)
and Romeo and Juliet (based on Metamorphoses) are more similar than they appear. Both, written at the same time, deal with forbidden romance and power and control. One play having a comedic end, while the other ends in tragedy, are partly the same tale with a different outcome.

Happy Valentine's Day, dear Littens!

Since the Q1 theme is poetry, what better day to enjoy some sonnets or love poems! ❤️

How are the classics going for #classicschallenge 2025?

#TLT #ThreeListThursday Thanks @dabbe for another interesting list, where quite a few were new to me and look really interesting.

It's funny seeing this result, having quite a few Shakespeare plays helped boost this number. This year I have lined up to read again a modern adaptation of Shakespeare 's Othello, “New Boy“ by Tracy Chevalier.

The Bakeshop Mystery series is a favorite of mine & it‘s currently at book 20. I loved Book 5 as it‘s set in a #Chocolate festival in Ashland, Oregon where the series takes place.

I read it for review in 2017 & made the Mango Chai Latte & Chocolate Truffles with Coffee & Almond from the recipes in the back. https://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-book-tour-stops-here-review-of_1...

So this is based on Taming of the Shrew/10 Things I Hate About You ... I'm guessing loosely since it's about assassins

Do I keep this for October or binge watch immediately. That is the dilema
