November to be read & watched


It's November, already! 

Guess what ? October was so busy, between social events, birthday parties and following #blogtober challenge, that I didn't manage reading everything I'd planned.
My wife had lent one of the small books I wanted to read, Charlotte's web, to a friend ; whom we didn't get to see, so the book's not back.

But, out of lack of time and having to set for this month's reading to these 2 books, 

Lee's To kill a mockingbird, borrowed from the library, with 309 pages



& this Carrière's novel in French, which a friend lent me, with 443.

After which, I still want to pass to History of Middle-Earth, with this Lost takes 2. 



And anything else that I can find, short, at home or elsewhere. I'll update this entry if I do, as I'm 2 books behind on my goodreads challenge, and those 3 above books would take a while, especially Tolkien with its late 1910's quaint English. 



But, before all that happens, I decided to check some of our art books 






To be watched ... finishing up with TNG (it's my 22nd time I believe, and 2nd time in HD with these gorgeous blurays)




After which, we'll re-start Star Trek Deep Space 9 (my 28th time already!)

Movies from the media library 




I may also decide to follow on TCM's Star of the month, Jimmy Stewart, with a selection of our own preferred movies, and prolong to December as we watch It's a wonderful life every year. 

Final update for October : 
From the library, we didn't manage to watch anything this around.
