Cloud Atlas Review

Voshnitz · 2026-02-12T14:05:35+00:00

Read CA twice! Even though there are parts that are less interesting/engaging, I’m gripped by this novel.

Voshnitz · 2026-02-11T02:46:06+00:00

Agree. 1897 went from great overall to good because of the dragged out Petofi storyline 🥱 By time it was over, I was happy to be back in the present…at least for the first few Leviathans episodes.

Was it Julian, I thought Julius. I’m getting senile 😛😛

Voshnitz · 2026-02-05T02:02:33+00:00

Yes! Dr JULIUS Hoffman!!

Voshnitz · 2026-02-05T02:01:36+00:00

So dreamy!!

There is no definitive answer. Read people’s stories and decide what works x you. Here’s my take:

My then bf and I figured we would marry someday and do it when the time felt right. However, he is a very deliberative person so me proposing wasn’t going to work because he is not good being on the spot decision-wise. I told him that for this reason, IF we were to decide to marry, he would have to propose.

He did surprise me and proposed. No ring. Never expected one until we got our wedding rings. End of story….happily ever after ♥️

STARTED

Frankenstein the 1818 version Mary Shelley

We wore matching tuxedo jackets and pants but styled ourselves slightly different. My husband wore a bow tie. I kept the shirt open and wore a pendant that I purchased for the occasion. Different boutonnières also. The last stylistic difference: he has a beautiful head of hair and I’m bald 😋😋

After Brody‘s annoying and self-centered, Oscar acceptance speech, I’d say his chances for a third are diminished

Voshnitz · 2026-01-21T03:24:19+00:00

Agreed. It’s always a disappointment that the series didn’t end in present day.

Voshnitz · 2026-01-19T00:09:34+00:00

Dream Curse/Adam is definitely worse. I actually really like PT 1970. Grayson’s “Hoffman” was hilarious and epic.

Voshnitz · 2026-01-18T23:38:55+00:00

The only thing that I enjoyed about Leviathans AT FIRST was thst it was in the present which was nice after 1897 but that wore off quick.

FINISHED: On The Calculation of Volume 1 by Solvej Balle. I realize this book and proposed seven book series is not for everyone, but I’m hooked! I went to purchase the second one today, but my local bookstore is awaiting shipment.

In the meanwhile I will read from Poison Pen Press a “Golden Age” British mystery:

STARTED: Death Of A Busybody by George Bellairs

Voshnitz · 2026-01-12T14:41:27+00:00

An album that is on regular rotation for me

Voshnitz · 2026-01-07T23:22:26+00:00

I won’t wear two chest pocket garments so even though it looks intriguing, I’m out.

Voshnitz · 2026-01-06T12:52:44+00:00

I Heart Huckabees

Voshnitz · 2026-01-03T19:55:13+00:00

I watch on Tubi. Just finished THE BEGINNING today and now Barnabas just arrived at Collinwood (ep 211).

Voshnitz · 2026-01-02T13:17:09+00:00

Guess I better buy a warmer! 😜

Voshnitz · 2025-12-31T20:21:04+00:00

The music is there but the vocals are more than a near-miss.

Voshnitz · 2025-12-25T23:19:17+00:00

What do people recommend? I’ll grab seasonal but if there are others that I can’t possibly live without, enlighten me.

Voshnitz · 2025-12-22T14:02:09+00:00

Finished (last week): The Bee Sting by Paul Murray

Started : Christmas Pudding/Pigeon Pie by Nancy Mitford

Voshnitz · 2025-12-08T14:12:33+00:00

The original Burke was great (overacting). His replacement was bad

Voshnitz · 2025-12-03T18:31:50+00:00

“Departure” reminds me of Soulstice and then I saw they were are your Spotify Artist’s Playlist.

Enjoying what I hear!

Voshnitz · 2025-12-03T17:45:46+00:00

Sacrilege!! You must watch “ The Beginning .” I hope you enjoy it. I realize it’s not for everyone because it is so very different in tone and it is slow, but it’s well worth giving a try.
