wednesday reading!

I finished reading A Christmas Carol which I've also watched 3 different versions of this year. Patrick Stewart's is still my favorite, but I've watched Mickey and Co since I was little. I never watched a Muppet Christmas Carol until I was an adult so I don't have any nostalgia wrapped up in it. While Gonzo and Rizzo are awesome, I got kinda bored with it at our work party. I refuse to see Jim Carrey's version. My mom still loves George C Scott. I didn't get very far in the FX series. Is that all of them?

Now I need 5 more short books to read. Any recommendations, please?

My favorite Sleigh Ride:

Talk about the last episode of Hawkeye here if you want too!"

This is my favorite version: https://youtu.be/EDWxqmEBG_s

It's a musical, though why the trailer doesn't reflect that, I don't know.
Here it is in full if you're curious: https://youtu.be/WcvClSBQnDw

I love the songs, and there's some real Pathos and humor to it that I find others lacking somewhat (not that other versions aren't great, too).

This looks FANTASTIC! I've never heard of it before, but I am so excited to watch it tonight at work now! Thank you!

Sorry if you've already read these as I know I've seen a number of people mention them and can't recall who has or hasn't, but have you tried Martha Wells' Murderbot series? Most are novellas.

I read the first one, and something didn't click, but it's been a couple of years so I might go back and give them another chance. I have seen she keeps racking up the awards for Murderbot, so maybe I was just in a bad mood. : )

Thanks!
