Here are this week’s questions:

1.  What was the last book you read?
I usually have three books going at one time, one on Audible, one on an e-reader or computer, and one hardcopy. I just finished “The Twisted Ones” by T. Kingfisher on Audible. I recently finished “Knight Shadow” by Alicia Bienia on my laptop, and I just finished “Village of the Lost Girls” by Agustin Martinez as my hardcopy book.
2.  Do you think movies are better or worse than the books they are based on?
I think that usually the books are better because you get so much more information and you also make your own “mind pictures” of scenes. Two books that I do remember being worse to read and easier to watch despite whatever visual effects would be possible in movie making are “Pet Cemetery” and “Misery” both by Stephen King. I can’t think of any movie that I saw that was better than the book.
3.  What is the most memorable movie soundtrack or theme to you?
I have to say the first soundtrack that comes to mind is from “Dirty Dancing”.
4.  Did you enjoy the old musicals (Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Howard Keel, Doris Day etc)
I never really watched the old musicals although we did see many musicals when I was a child. Mostly small theater, hometown stuff. I remember going to a lot of high school plays even when I was much younger than high school age.

Gratitude: I am so thankful for all that I have been given and the opportunities that I have to move around freely, go where I want, do what I want, … I think of some of the countries who are under attack, like Ukraine, and wonder what people do if they have to worry all the time.
