Updates

This blog has been updated by changing all the labels including the number of stars each book, movie & show received, into an X*, and not distinguishing the categories anymore. Thus, instead of looking for 10 stars book, or 10 stars movie, or show, they are all now under 10*
This saves then numbers of labels, and space in each blog entry and labels-space too, because I'm limited to 200 characters total - which I often surpassed and had to sacrifice a key word. Changing from a long 10 stars book to 10* will allow me add a word or two to my labels.

Another change is that now the blog is devoted to books, tv shows, and movies. Most often, novels, and essays are adapted to either a show, or movie, and sometimes movies can be adapted to novels or have documentary books to explain their making-off. In this way, the blog has a certain logic, interweaving these 3 artforms together.

I still specify one or several dvd or bluray editions for movies and shows, and I off course cannot keep up listing the dozens or hundreds of book editions so I just give details about the ones that I read.

I just created a new blog dedicated to music. There, I detail my experiences and experiments listening to various bands, singers, composers and so on.
Each band or artist gets an entry I call ''part 0'' in which I introduce and tell a few biographical details, send to fuller articles on wiki or official websites, and a chronological discography.
I then post a new entry per album, to tell you what I think and at some point, detail differences in editions (collector, or different Country).

I'll also have posts for movie and shows soundtracks, and add direct links between both blogs for a complete interactivity.

It's called... Lulu's music garden which for the moment has only 14 posts, which shall increase in time.
