Hello everyone,
Do you still remember me? I’ve been kind of absent. I intend to get back for good , and return to my daily posting. Now that our vacation is over, I can get back to my routines, tasks and to-do lists. You like that, don’t you?
Today I bring you a lists of the books, series, films and documentaries I plan on watching from now until the end of the year. I never know what to read or what to watch, so I feel more organized if I make lists. Also, I can get your opinion and suggestions, which are both very welcome.
You’re already acquainted with my movie list:
Day 1: The Godfather
Day 2: The Godfather: Part II
Day 3: Casablanca
Day 4: Memento
Day 5: Sunset Boulevard
Day 6: Requiem for a Dream (I’ve started this one but gave up. It was late and it was confusing. I’ll obviously get back to it)
Day 7: Before Sunrise (Already waiting on my computer so it will probably be the next one to watch)
Day 8: Lion
Day 9: Les Miserables
Day 10: Babel
Day 11: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Day 12: Munich
Day 13: The Aviator
Day 14: Pulp Fiction
Day 15: Suicide Squad
Day 16: Inception
Day 17: It
Day 18: It’s a Wonderful Life
Day 19: Selma
Day 20: Apocalypse Now
Day 21: Cinema Paradiso
Day 22: To Kill a Mockingbird
Day 23: Rebecca
Day 24: Winter’s Bone
Day 25: Hotel Rwanda
Day 26: Mystic River
Day 27: Chicago
Day 28: Beauty and the Beast (Waiting on my computer)
Day 29: The Zookeeper’s Wife
Day 30: The Shack
I intend to keep this list and go through it and I’ll only make a new one when I finish this one. I’ll probably watch other movies that might premiere until the end of the year or Rui’s choices for movie night. I’ll add them to the list as I go.
My To Be Read list:
This is actually the first time I do a to be read list, I think. I know many bloggers who do it and I actually read their lists. I’m also usually impressed with how many books they can read in a month or year. Very fast and avid readers out there.
Books I won:
I did a little shelf-shopping and found a few books I’ve bought and that I’ve been meaning to read for a long time and decided it was time. Why read something else before going through my virgin books? So, from my collection (which is not big, I own between 40 and 50 books), I’ve picked the following:
Death With Interruptions by José Saramago (Portuguese)
Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella
Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
Os Enamoramentos by Javier Marías (Portuguese but from a Spanish writer)
The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James
Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence (One of my favorite writers)
Tender is The Night and The Last Tycoon by Francis Scott Fitzgerald
Books I’ve borrowed from the Library:
House Rules by Jodie Picoult
Perfect Match by Jodie Picoult
Keeping Faith by Jodie Picoult
I’ve borrowed these because they are lighter reads than classics. I do prefer classics but they can get boring and are more difficult and slower to read because of the language. I can read a little faster in Portuguese so these might come handy when I’m busy. They’re usually very good books, although a little bit tragic for my taste.
Books From Kindle:
I don’t have a kindle reader but I read them on my phone, which is fine. I would rather have some kind of tablet or ipad but the phone will do.
Better Off Wed by Laura Durham
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
Audio Books:
Bunner Sisters by Edith Wharton
