When my niece asked for my opinion, I told her that the Charles & Diana story is so well known that it was boring. My 27 year old niece replied, "I don't know it. It's history." She's out of the will.<br />When you're looking for something new, I recommend "The Durrells in Corfu." Prince Charles is one of the leads. It is a charming show & a great escape. I'm looking forward to "All Creatures Great & Small." I was a huge fan of the books in my teen years & loved the first version of the series.<br />Finally, I would love to hear your thoughts on the Erika Jayne scandal! If she doesn't go to jail, she's going to be living in her car when this is over.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10050341078275371125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-43300776088971178432021-01-06T21:29:34.332-08:002021-01-06T21:29:34.332-08:00Pringle is my new favorite on Southern Charm, too....Pringle is my new favorite on Southern Charm, too. I do wish though, they would go back to showing a lot of the historic homes, as they did the first and second seasons.

I felt the same way about Virgin River...ho hum.<br />I too love TJs ..it and Central Market are very close by in Ft. Worth. I tuned in to Escape to the Chateau on the T.V. and wanted more. It is from England. A couple buys a chateau that is breathtaking in the Loire Valley of France...but it is in shambles. The wife who is very artsy reminds me of Bet Midler. I found more episodes on utube. Have you seen it?<br />Good luck on the house hunt...JaneyJaney and Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14263426600052174272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-64983744794653408172021-01-05T06:29:44.069-08:002021-01-05T06:29:44.069-08:00Katie when I saw this post in my inbox I grabbed t...Katie when I saw this post in my inbox I grabbed the coffee and settled in. Pinned the entire post because there are so many good books and shows. <br />We love bryan Cranston. I am re-watching the first 3 seaons of Last Tango with my first husband ;0) (9 months together non-stop. Happy New Year, need to save a few of these book titles! I am reading theGreat Pandemic which is more like a text book for an Intro to Biology, but the history of medicine in the US is fascinating and the early pioneers are all the names of Institutions and Health Care systems. xo xo , laura Laura | Everyday Editshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513906948460289634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-22457359964125068172021-01-05T06:00:37.532-08:002021-01-05T06:00:37.532-08:00I came for the food......the snacks look terrific....I came for the food......the snacks look terrific.

I've been using my Audible credits to download her books, I just wish the first book in the Great War series was available as an audiobook.

Thank...I have now filled up my library holds list! Thanks for all the recommendations. Although I didn't watch the new season of the Crown (we got rid of Netflix!), I agree about Diana based on the videos I saw. I have heard lots of reviews talking about how they really put Charles in a negative light, but it is a drama after all. I can't wait to check out the tv recommendations too. We loved Undoing and Spanish Princess. I only got through 2 episodes of Flt Att...just hard to watch someone who is so out of control!

( I had put them on my Amazon wish list) The sweater poncho and the warm fuzzy jacket. Both were winners so thanks for sharing them. As for TV, I am getting ready for Alex Trebek's last week on Jeopardy. I have tissues at the ready. We have been watching Shtizel on netflix. Who knew I would like an orthodox Jewish soap opera?? Best book I read over Christmas was A Gentleman in Moscow. So glad you had a good Christmas.

I have The Wife Upstairs on my shelves to be read and I'm also hearing good things about The Midnight Library. I'll be interested to see what you think. We were hooked on The Undoing from the beginning but didn't feel like it finished as strongly as it started. It was worth watching just for Nicole's wardrobe though.
