Hamnet | Maggie O'Farrell

Heartbreakingly, gut-wrenchingly beautiful adaptation! Might‘ve cried quite a bit— #wdnc if it was an ugly cry. It was so good!

Scochrane26 I haven‘t seen it yet. I want to but know I‘ll be crying. 5d

AmyG I am so happy to hear it‘s good. I loved this book. 5d

Karisa @Scochrane26 Worth it! But yes, have those extra napkins ready 😅 5d

Karisa @AmyG I loved the book too! Maggie O‘Farrell‘s name was all over the credits (usually a good sign to me). Director Chloé Zhao is brilliant! I‘m betting several of the actors earn award nominations. Just so raw and moving like the book and puts you right into the times 5d

There were many stunning sentences and wonderful turns of phrases. I was pulled deeply into this story quickly. And there was more than one part I read with a lump in my throat.

Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent | Judi Dench, Brendan O'Hea

pick

Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent, by Judi Dench and Brendan O‘Hea (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: One of our greatest living actors reflects on her career and Shakespeare‘s plays.

Review: I mean… This is just perfect. I‘m a respecter of Shakespeare far more than a lover, but this made me wish I loved him as much as the authors do. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday This is so delightful and off-the-cuff; honest and profound thoughts from someone who claims to refuse to think deeply about Shakespeare. Not only is this supremely entertaining, but it‘s also a gift to future generations.
