How I loved Moonlight! Not only visually beautiful and with a great soundtrack, but I loved how lifelike it felt, without excessive drama but not glossing over reality.

Moonlight was wonderful. I'm very pleased such a personal film could win for Best Picture!

Animal Farm is the only book on your list that I've read, though it was so long ago that I don't remember if it only took a day to read.

Enjoyed Sully, and have Hidden Figures and Moonlight on hold at the library. Will be picking up Hidden Figures tomorrow.

The same with me! I'd read Animal Farm way back in highschool and not since. When my son read it, also back in highschool, I was reminded, in our discussions of it, how good the book was. What saddens me is how relevant it also still is especially the use of language and 'alternative' facts for deception.

Hope you enjoyed Hidden Figures. For most of my childhood, my father worked for NASA and so, as you can imagine, the film held a special relevance to me :)

Most excellent on getting organized. I can almost hear my house sigh with happiness whenever I organize any part of it better, from something small like a drawer to something big like a closet. Two's even better.

Hidden Figures was terrific. I totally agree!!
