Hi Roni, I agree completely that we shouldn't take all of our entertainment decisions so seriously! When I read and like a book, then go and see people slam it in reviews for being too sweet and fluffy with no angst, I think that some people may be in the mood for that. *raises hand* The wide variety of books is what makes reading so wonderful! I watched The Knight Before Christmas last season and liked it fine, but like you I don't plan to watch it again.
I love a good angsty book, but sometimes we also need the light-hearted stuff. We all should be able to read what we want to read without having to defend our choices to anyone. :)
Roni, I totally agree with you about the "Knight Before Christmas" movie. I had the same thoughts exactly, and like you, almost turned it off after 10 minutes, but I stayed with it - the guy is SOOO cute - he was in POLDARK, by the way...And I enjoyed it. Another movie that just premiered on Netflix is A CASTLE FOR CHRISTMAS, a 2021 movie starring Brooke Shields, who portrays a bestselling romance writer and escapes to Scotland and a castle after getting bad reviews for her latest book. It also stars handsome Cary Elwes, star of PRINCESS BRIDE, and it is a sweet, sugary romance. I loved it though...I had been in a very depressed mood after watching 3 seasons of OZARK, which is troubling on so many levels. I could not even sleep. So, A CASTLE FOR CHRISTMAS was such a beautiful, enjoyable distraction and oh my! The scenery is exquisite too. You will love it!
Hi Roni, since you're on a Knight kick. I highly recommend A Knight's Tale with the late Heath Ledger. I rewatch it whenever I want a feel good, emotional and funny movie. I read more than I watch tv but I will always put my kindle down to watch this one. I also love Baby Driver and Lawless (no Knights in these ones but still good.)

Yay, so glad you liked it too! And I'm definitely going to have to add A Castle for Christmas to the list. Thanks for the rec!
