I've finished the book!
Even when it took me forever to get invested in it, I really liked it! I am going to write in the CS forums soon.

Just wanted to say that according to his website, the new DF book is at 32%. Almost the third part of it is done!  :)

I've saw the ads for Percy Jackson in Disney+. I have not read the book but I have the feeling a series will be better than a movie. And yes, I also read that the author was quite involved in this show, so hopefully it will be good and you and your girl/s will enjoy it.

I forgot to say that I managed to read more of the CS book, I am in chapter 53 I believe, so the end is near and things are. of course, looking...well, grim. Or Grimm  ;D. I want to finish reading it so I can visit the forums and post about it.

We just watched Indiana Jones. Dina, you were right. It felt like one if the old movies. I also liked it. Funny: once they entered a building at night, didn't stay long and when they got out, it was day. LOL. May have missed something in between, but my husband also said: "didn't they go in at night?"
Did you notice Antonio Banderas? At first my husband didn't believe me, but it was him.
I do not remember the building thing, but the time is quite random in the movies  :)
I've noticed Antonio Banderas but it took me an embarrassing long time. When I heard him talking I immediately thought he sounded like him (which is weird because I am not good with voices and accents, I am more a faces person) but I did not think he looked like him. Until they showed a closer look and then I said "oh yes! He is Antonio Banderas!".

DC, I guess we will talk after the new season  :). Also, about that character, yes, as a not book reader i have not idea what is going on with that.

I have it in Disney+, which is why I watched it a few days ago, when it appeared there. It has a deaging part which was excellent, in my humble opinion.

Hi Regen! Yes, there is an Indiana Jones from this year. As Harrison Ford is not young I imagine this will be the last movie. They said they were not trying to do a pass-the-torch movie with the female character, but I do not know. Perhaps they were probing the waters  :)

Good luck with the window.

I watched Wheel of Time. So, my comments.

*glomps DC* So good to see you here!
How was your time abroad? (You are back home, right? Getting ready for Christmas?)
I did not read your spoiler, because I have not seen The Wheel of Time yet. I mean, I still have 2 episodes to go, and I am planning to watch them this weekend. I will revisit your post later.
I wonder if I will be able to read more of the Cinder Spires book. I read a touch more on Monday but I am still far from the ending.
I won't comment about the situation on my country but I will say that it is a terrible moment for doing some expenditures I need to do. We need a new water heater (I feel like Harry, taking cold showers) and new earphones for hubby. Of course, he has some cheap extra earphones for now but the fancy ones he bought last year are malfunctioning, so we will have some new ones. We hope we are able to buy those two things with small payments.

Oh, I watched the new Indiana Jones movie! I could not like the character of Helena (the female lead) no matter how much I tried. I found her rude and selfish. But in general, I liked the movie. I think it felt like a real Indiana Jones movie (unlike Cristal Skull), Also, the original movies were not perfect either. My generation loves them because we were children and we enjoy them, but they were not so much better than this one. It is only that now we are older. BUT as all the Weird Citizens (SHOV residents) know, I am not such a mature and serious person, so I can still enjoy the thrilling of a Treasure Hunt and some silly adventure  :)

Ooof, refactions at home are complicated.
Best of luck with the windows man. Oh, take care of the kittens. Sometimes they freak if there is a stranger in the house.

Hello there!
It is good that you enjoyed the food. You are probably right about the reason why they won't open at noon. It is quite common in some places here to open only at night for the reason you mentioned.

I saw the third special too.

I watched until episode 6 included of Wheel of Time. I am so anguished about A

.  This season is definitely much better than the first one. I've read a few comments from people who read the books and it says that there are a lot of changes in the adaptation but that they are good. They kept the feeling of the story and the books are simply too big. So get ready  :)

I laughed at the references you mentioned to both wizards called Harry. I remember the Verus one was commented in this forum years ago. I had never read them though. The new book you mentioned sounds interesting too.

My Christmas Tree is up!  Also, my foot is getting better, this past week it hurt less, so i am happy. And today is a sunny day so I feel happy even when today begins the new presidential run.

Well, at least snow is giving you a respite.

Enjoy your Greek food  :)

I hope you liked TOA. About 12M, yes, I saw it is still in 26%. You made me laugh with the description of the reader of the Eye of the World. That reminds me I plan to watch more of the Wheel of Time season 2 show. I am in episode 3.

Tomorrow is a day off! It is a religious Holiday (Virgin Mary's conception) and it is the day traditionally destined to decorating the Christmas Tree. Nowadays people tends to do that whenever they feel like that. I have done it much later too, but when I can, I try to do it December 8th. So, my plan for this year is doing on time. I already retrieved the decorations from the top of the wardrobe, so the first step is done.

@Regen,very good about your mother!

We are having a lot of rain, but apparently it will stop tomorrow.

I have very little time to post, I just wanted to say hello and I will be back when I have more time.

Hi Regen! I hope your shower and grocery shopping went well.
Oh, I understand about the sidewalk now. I am glad it is not dangerous. So, cleaning the sidewalks of snow is your responsability? I mean of the people living there? It is good that neighbors help each others, especially with the elder people.
I also get what you mean about nothing prepared for so much snow in such short time. It is more or less like when it rains too much. For example, rains are common on my city, and there is not a problem, but sometimes it rains a lot in just a few minutes and the street drains are not enough. Then the streets are flooded.

I had to stop myself from reading too much yesterday night because I had things to do and then I had to go to bed. It is definitely quite interesting now, but still do not like too much that we have so many "groups" to follow.

Hello there! I hope you are better now.
I never been in a place with a lot of snow, so my poor mind always struggles imagining that. Rationally I know some things but I am sure I miss a lot and I cannot completely gather the concept.
Ugh, having the sidewalks at the same level than the street sounds so dangerous. And Charly would complain so much (Charly is a forumite who goes by the name Cenwolfgirl even when they identified as not-binary now. They had not come here in a while). Charly is visually impaired (severely so) and the fact that their walking cane cannot tell when the sidewalk ends is always a problem.
I've seen pictures of several places of Germany this week, all covered in thick snow. Absolutely stunning postcard images, but I imagine it can be quite complicated for everyday living there. Anyways, I hope both your children have fun. And make sure the fur babies are warm!

I've seen the second Doctor Who special too and I liked it. It was both scary and emotional. Yes, Jodie's Doctor reincarnated in David Tennant so he is now the Ten and Fourteenth Doctor. He is not exactly the same person, he is more mature, sad and open. And no, apparently there will be not a season with them. At the end of the 3 special or at the beginning of the Christmas' special, Tennant will regenerate in the 15th Doctor.

I think I am in ch, 33 or 34 of TOA now. Super interested! There is a lot of action including a

I also watched until episode 3 of Wheel of Time season 2. I have not read the books, but the show has an interesting world and the show looks beautiful. But the first season was not so interesting in itself. Season 2 is much more interesting for me for some reason, but every episode is so long I only watch one at the time.

Sorry about Covid! And yes, sometimes you need a nap, even if it is a super long one. I had one of those days a few days ago. I did not take such a long nap but stil. I took a nap. I think most of anything I am emotionally tired. This has been an stressful year. And besides, I've been sleeping uncomfortably due to the heat (A couple of days that were not so hot to put on the fan, but enough warm to feel uncomfortable. Luckily today, after a storm, the temperature is more pleasant.

Gwen and the aetherialists are my favourite characters in the first CS book. I still had no time to keep reading TOA but I hope to do it this weekend.
I also like Grimm, of course, but he is quite a more polite Harry Dresden. I think I am liking other characters in this book.

Doctor Who specials are on Disney+! I watched the first one and I loved it and I am looking forward to the second one tonight.

My foot was extra sore two days (after what I told you about in my previous post) but it is much better now.

Thanks for your good wishes!

I am sorry about your mother having COVID and having to wait but really, it is so good that she will be at home for Christmas. The first Christmas without you loved one is always bad. It will be bad for you and your girls too, so it is good that grandma is home.

I am around ch. 20 of The Olympic Affair and quite interested but I've been busy and I could not read too much. Like you, I have some trouble focusing with the constant changes in each chapter (I mean, we follow different people every chapter).

I've been better of my toe but yesterday I did a short run at home to answer the phone and it really hurt. It was super sore all day, but today is better.
