Monthly Round-up! November 2016

Monthly Round-up, linking everything that has happened in the last month, posted on the last day of said month. This Round-up November 2016. Currently reading:   Reviews:   Through the Letterbox:   Challenges: A new year and a new challenge. This year I am participating in the movie musical challenge hosted by Bookish Whimsy.  This month I reviewed  an incredible 4 musicals – including the divine Meet Me In St. Louis, the charismatic Easter Parade, the moving Oklahoma! and finally Kiss Me Kate. As per usual I’m participating in the Goodreads Challenge. I’ve pledged to read 100 books! And so far have managed to read 75 books. I’m 6 behind which is terrible and I’m not sure how I will recover. But this is a small improvement on last month so keep your fingers crossed for me that I can keep going! So what do you think of my round-up November 2016? What have you read this month?

I felt a bit funny about the romance between Fred and Lilli because I felt that they hadn’t worked through their issues but perhaps it helps that it was pretty obvious that Fred was still in love with Lilli and the reason for their divorce was something trivial. To be honest I’m not sure that I had a favourite song – Too Darn Hot, Brush Up Your Shakespeare and I Hate Men are probably the best but there was nothing that stood with me. The standout for me was Ann Miller and her dancing. She was the highlight of the film and made me just want to get up and start tap dancing. This is probably my least favourite musical that I have watched so […]
