I was loving Call the Midwife once upon a time. It was so well made, and usually always made me tear up. The BBC did a great job with that one though I haven’t seen the last several years. And I always forget it’s based on a book! 🙂
The first several seasons were definitely the best, but it’s been interesting to follow (some of) the characters into the 1960s and 1970s.
Another nonfiction list! I think I’ve read Quiet, Please, but am not sure.
Cool!
Great list! I love that you went with nonfiction today.
Thank you!
Love your list! 😀
Heh, thanks.
You have some unique ones on your list today, I haven’t seen dishwasher on any other list.
Cool!
#5 and #9 both sound really interesting to me. I’ll have to check those out.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Thanks. You, too!
I have said I want to read more memoirs and biographies and then I don’t do it and I am not quite sure why. Great list!
Maybe you’re a mood reader? 🙂
This is a great list! I haven’t heard of so many of these, but some sound really good, especially Weekends at Bellevue. Hope you have a great week, Lydia!
Thank you, Leah. You, too!
