If it were available on Viki, I’d love to have a WP with you. It’s a must-watch multi-season drama!

I read some similar comments about that too. No matter though. I don’t expect any screenwriter/director to follow any adapted media to a T. I’m fine with them having some creative freedom. Since the drama is reportedly one of four seasons, to me, the “jury is still out” and so, I’ll just savor the book and later the drama series. :heart_eyes:

That’s awesome! Can’t wait to watch them! :star_struck: :blush:

I am into reading book called Fighting for Justice: The Stories of Criminal Appeal Lawyers. Criminal Appeal Lawyers are a unique breed of legal professionals who dedicate their careers to fighting for the rights of those who have been wrongfully convicted or sentenced. Their work is not just about winning cases, but also about fighting for justice and upholding the principles of fairness and equality. This book tells the stories of criminal appeal lawyers who have dedicated their lives to this noble pursuit.

I thought I would share these if anyone is interested in research of their family history

Books and Memoirs about Handling Family Secrets

  • Family by Ian Frazier (Picador): An acclaimed writer turns his attention to 200 years of his family’s middle-class history, revealing their little dramas in the larger picture of their historical context, from the Revolutionary War to the 20th century.
  • Five-Finger Discount: A Crooked Family History (Random House) and Murder in Matera: A True Story of Passion, Family, and Forgiveness in Southern Italy (Dey Street) by Helene Stapinski: A journalist traces her less-than-ennobling family history through the criminal culture of Jersey City, N.J., and back to the mythologized crime of her immigrant ancestor in Italy.
  • Hidden Inheritance: Family Secrets, Memory, and Faith by Heidi B. Neumark (Abingdon Press): A Lutheran pastor discovers her Jewish roots and learns of their Holocaust trauma. Her genealogical journey becomes a spiritual one as she challenges her faith and identity and looks difficult history in the eye.
  • Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937–1948 by Madeleine Albright (Harper Perennial): The former Secretary of State reflects on her discovery of her Jewish family’s WWII experience and reflects on their experiences and secrets kept for decades.
  • The Slaves Have Names: Ancestors of My Home by Andi Cumbo-Floyd (CreateSpace): A white woman researches the identities and stories of the enslaved people who lived on her family’s plantation and confronts the culture of silence that had kept them hidden from history.

PS. The book went back 3 times (don’t know why), but I didn’t give up and kept re-ordering until today was the winner day. We need to know how to fight the +evil one+ and his attacks.

I’M READING NOW: THE HOLY BIBLE

Loved this psalm so I wanted to share it here, too.

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

AMEN/AMEN/AMEN.

For the 20th time, just finished: The Mystery of Malbackt by Max du Veuzit (Spanish version).
For the 3rd time: Sandokan - The Tigers of Mompracem by Emilio Salgari (Italian version). My inner child/teenager rejoices with such books.
