You know, I won't say I'm a person of a very strong character when it comes to temptations, but I can refuse a piece of chocolate when I want to (ask those who know me); I can even, usually at least, resist buying a darling new piece of clothing when I know I don't need… Continue reading The Allure of the Bookstores
Anne Brontë: The Sister Who Deserves More Credit
A year ago I probably wouldn't find myself writing a post dedicated to Anne Brontë - I'd probably be more interested in her sisters, who I still do appreciate and love very much, but after reading one of her novels and reading bits of her biography, mostly online, I feel the urge to somehow honor… Continue reading Anne Brontë: The Sister Who Deserves More Credit
It Was a Very Good (Reading) Year
Dear readers, welcome to my first post of the new decade! *drumroll* Seriously, my mind was buzzing with ideas for this blogpost - I knew it had to be something related to books, but I also felt like writing a more "personal" kind of post... only to find out I'm afraid I'd reveal "too much"… Continue reading It Was a Very Good (Reading) Year
A Challenge Completed: Classic Films I Saw in 2019
In the beginning of 2019, I decided to set myself a goal of watching at least 50 classic movies by the end of year. By ''classic'' I count mainly movies made from 1920s to 1960s, so... not a strict borderline, but you get the idea. No one particularly inspired me or asked me to do… Continue reading A Challenge Completed: Classic Films I Saw in 2019
Black and White: Some Christmas Movie Recommendations (Pt. 2)
So as I (kind of) promised, I'm back with another list of Christmas movie ideas. I wanted to write it earlier, but my busy schedule wouldn't let me; anyway, as Christmas and New Year's Eve are approaching it's becoming more and more exciting to watch Christmas films, so I don't think I'm late in any… Continue reading Black and White: Some Christmas Movie Recommendations (Pt. 2)
Black and White: Some Christmas Movie Recommendations
Season of Noirvember and smoky film noirs may be over, but fear not, for Christmas season is upon us! And that means a whole new range of films to choose from. I haven't yet fully immersed myself in the good ol' Christmas classics, but I think I have a handful of great movies to recommend.… Continue reading Black and White: Some Christmas Movie Recommendations
Aesthetic Movies: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)
Have you seen the French film Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) with Catherine Deneuve? I saw it for my birthday last year for the first time, so you can tell it holds a special place in my heart. 😉 I watched it today for the second time and, boy, was it a… Continue reading Aesthetic Movies: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)
Autumn Leaves
Disclaimer: Another post including my *impressive* photography skills, be prepared. 😉 Joking aside, I did go for a walk in the park this morning and was treated to what I would call a very autumnal sight. Obviously, I'm talking about the nature and the changing trees! Perhaps I don't live in the most picturesque place… Continue reading Autumn Leaves
Little Autumn Delights
Weather has finally gotten cooler here, and I'm absolutely here for it. I've never appreciated autumn too much while I was younger - I've always thought of it more as a shift between summer and winter, my most favorite season. In recent years, however, I've grown to pay more attention to the glorious beauty of… Continue reading Little Autumn Delights
A Little Theme Update
Hey, this wee blog of mine has recently got a new look! Can you see it? CAN YOU SEE IT? Just kidding, I'm not all that excited, but it's a nice change. (But seriously, you can see it too, right? As the administrator of the blog I probably see the main page and everything a… Continue reading A Little Theme Update
