1. Moulin Rouge (Baz Luhrmann version), The English Patient, Memento, Inception, Face/Off, so many!
2. Seeing a deer at the Grand Canyon that was standing so still and so close that I truly thought it was a statue. Also, Hawaii!
3. Lately politics. Also medically-related memoirs
4. Blue, my fav since I was a kid
5. Favorite car you‘ve owned? (Mine was a 2004 Honda CRV)

Lynnsoprano I didn‘t actually own it, as it was my parents‘ car (mostly my mom‘s), but I learned to drive in an original Mustang. Okay, that dates me😂 6y
Kaye My dark green Toyota Camry that finally kicked the bucket at over 200,000 miles. Best car I‘ve ever had. I like anything with wheels though. As long as it runs and takes me where I need to go, I like it. 6y
Crystalblu My ‘67 VW camper van💗 6y
britt_brooke My current vehicle - 2006 Nissan Xterra. I‘ve had it for 12 years and it‘s still doesn‘t have 100K miles on it .... it will soon, though! 6y

EricaReads My first car: Suburu Pleo, a tiny blue-green Japanese kei car. 6y
Bostonmomx2 I loved my Ford Explorer but I‘m pretty happy with my current Acura. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Leftcoastzen My first car was an Accord. I loved it too! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Whimsical.Curiosity That‘s a long term relationship! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Wife Orange!! 🍊 I‘m not ballsy enough to drive an orange vehicle. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Lynnsoprano Oh those early Mustangs were so sweet. My cousin had a reconditioned Mustang when we were teenagers in the late 70s early 80s. I was super jealous!! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Kaye A car that‘s consistent and reliable is important. You really kept that Camry going to for a LOT of miles! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Crystalblu Ohmigosh! My aunt and uncle had one and I have such good memories from those rides. 6y
LibrarianToujours 1994 Dodge Shadow. Rescued from the junkyard, cheap to fix, got great gas mileage. Also the steering wheel made farting noises when it got really cold in winter. Made my best friend and I laugh until we cried 🤣 6y
Megabooks My current 2015.5 Volvo XC60. It has everything it could come with 😁👍🏻 (edited) 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @britt_brooke Wow—you‘re a low-mileage driver. Hope your new vehicle is just as great! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @wanderinglynn I‘ve never gotten into naming my cars, but I like your choice! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Jerdencon Any car with a sunroof is better by me! 🌞 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @LittleBug I like my Mazda also ... 👏🏻👏🏻 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @JaclynW VW has a lot of loyal owners. I tend more towards Japanese-made than German-made though. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @CouronneDhiver LOL. I had one as a rental many years ago and loved it! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Lauram They are iconic, but I‘m not surprised it wasn‘t reliable. 😰 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @EricaReads Those Pleos look fun!! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bostonmomx2 One of my first cars was a Ford. Never again! But I‘d jump right into an Acura. 👍🏻 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @NHLibrarian Okay the farting steering wheel is the funniest comment yet! Wish you had a video of that! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Megabooks Nothing better than a ride with all the bells and whistles! 6y
LibrarianToujours @BarbaraTheBibliophage Sadly I owned that car when cell phones only made phone calls 😜 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @NHLibrarian Waaahhh! 🤣🤣 6y
JaclynW @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes. I am one of the loyal. My husband and I have had 8 cars together, all but 2 have been VW or Audi. I doubt we will ever buy anything else. 6y
HOTPock3tt Inception!! ❤️🙌🏽 also one of my fave movies! 🤗 6y

#BackPackEurope had a chance to watch the film Moulin Rouge👯‍♀️👯‍♀️#AvignonFestival 🇫🇷 mixed feelings ~ Visually it was incredible and I LOVED the musical mashups of all different musical genres & decades set to the backdrop of 1890s Paris BUT the storyline was painful. Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor were pretty steamy 💕🙌🏻 Nice diversion before I get on a plane tonight

mabell Great collage! 6y
saresmoore I think I watched this and listened to the soundtrack hundreds of times as a teen. MAJOR Ewan crush. 6y
Cathythoughts Fab collage 💫 6y

Cinfhen Thanks @mabell @Cathythoughts I think I‘ll be checking out Spotify to see if Moulin Rouge is on the playlist @saresmoore 🤩🎵 6y
CoffeeAndABook Very cool collage!!! I‘m right there with ya on the mixed feelings about that movie. 🎥 Safe travels Cindy!! It‘ll be good to have in our time zone again 😜 6y
Cinfhen Thank you @CoffeeAndABook I‘m excited to be back in my comfy time zone with all my lovely UK, EU and Aussie friends 💋💋💋 6y
readordierachel @saresmoore Same! I had this soundtrack on repeat...and I might have had a framed poster on my wall...Ah, youth. 6y
CarolynM I completely adored Richard Roxburgh chewing the scenery as the Duke (I adore him doing anything) but apart from that ... ugh!! 6y

I wasn't brave enough yet to remove the brown book cover.. but I did find this 4th edition printing pic on EBay so now I have an idea what's underneath. 😊 Good suggestion @rubyslippersreads . My copy is a third printing so I figured it has to be close.

It's pretty neat and I'm tempted to remove the cover. But I'm still feeling sentimental over it bc the former owner clearly put some time into personalizing it.

BookishBeth Ooh. Keep the paper on. The paper makes the book friendlier looking. 8y

🤔Need your thoughts on this, Littens:

I found this copy of a 1950 edition of Moulin Rouge wrapped in brown paper w these stickers on it. I'm dying to see the blue cloth vintage spine... but... it's neat the way it is. Remove or let it be? (Isn't the card neat? It also has a moulin rouge sticker on it)

Simona Maybe you shouldn't listen to me, but I'm too much curious - remove it ... 😈👼 8y
rubyslippersreads Maybe you can find a picture of the original online, to help you decide if what's underneath is better than the (very cool) paper cover. 8y
BookishBeth Is there a way you can neatly slip the paper off and maybe retape after you snoop? The paper gives it character and makes you wonder who made a text book-like slip cover for it! 8y

swishandflick I'm dying of curiosity - mostly wondering why they never opened their birthday gift! 8y
LeahBergen Try to take a peek but keep the wrapping on it for your shelves! 😍 8y
LeahBergen Wait ... is it a handmade paper cover or actually an unopened gift? 8y
avalinah It looks so good!! 8y
Jess_Read_This @LeahBergen @swishandflick It's a handmade book cover! Which I haven't seen in a very long time. Usually that's a school book thing but last time I covered a book was around 1989... lol. 8y
Jess_Read_This @BookishBeth I'm thinking maybe if I gently cut a fold and slip it out that might be the trick! Good thinking! 8y
