Focus Features had released a new adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1815 coming-of-age story Emma (PG; 2 hrs 3 mins)
in February, and because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it received a
streaming platform release on March 20th. The film is now available to
purchase on Blu-ray (Amazon), DVD (Amazon), and Digital from Universal Pictures Home
Entertainment.

When looking for a gift for the special children in your life, you want to find something they have yet to receive but will love to play with. One way to ensure this is to get a present that is unique to them. Here are some suggestions.
Personalized Books
Adding the name of the birthday boy or girl to a personalized birthday book for child creates a special gift just for them. You can research companies that will do this for you. Many have templates for you to choose from that reflect the child you are buying it for. This book is something that can be shared with children's friends and family that is uniquely theirs.

Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer! |
Good Morning, Everyone!
When you can't fall asleep, there's nothing better to do than watching stuntmen wearing monster suits. To be more precise, I finished watching The Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga series and followed by the 30-minute Ultra Fight Orb. Then, oddly, I watched the newest adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. Weird pairing?

Then the screwy old man gets killed in a bar fight and the slut old lady runs off with a tie salesman from Altoona, and after that, all you get is one crummy orphanage after another.

About the Book
In the funeral home, there is no screaming, no murdering, no mutilation, no possessions, no kidnappings, no resurrections, and no cursing of any type. Be quiet and stay polite.
The day Old Man McGregor decides to take a walk and disturbs her peace, Anwen learns there’s a lot more to the basement in the funeral home than a vampire and a handsome gentleman on ice.

My second favorite Clint Eastwood film is the 1971 Gothic tale The Beguiled, based on the novel of the same name by Thomas Cullinan. Director Sofia Coppola remade the film in 2017, and, though it
wasn’t nearly as good as the original film, I still liked it. I had
never got my hands on a copy of the 1966 novel until Penguin Books
published a new edition to tie-in with the remake. Unfortunately, I
have never gotten around to reading the book, but it’s on my to-be-read
list.
