What wonderful films this week – some premiering worldwide, others just beginning with premieres in the UK, and all highly praised. Of course, we also have oodles of books – a favorite Queen-led cozy mystery series returns, peeks into famous diaries for daily inspiration, a much-applauded new historical fiction novel set in wartime Britain, which also involves Paris (as it’s in the title, after all), and timeless clothing finds at great prices. Still, there is more!

Yet again, another week with fantastic new film releases, each one different than the next, yet all with thought-provoking themes. And yep, we’ve got books – quite a few holiday cookbooks, and two from past GBBO names. Then we have a book about a favorite drink, how to decorate to ensure we actually turn our home into a sanctuary with our investment, and a favorite TV series returns, looking to be even more smashing in its sophomore season than in its praised first. And yep, yep! you’ll find autumn and winter clothing staples at various price points, and something for your pup as well! All of this and still more!

The great films keep on coming, and yet again in an array of genres – from French to mystery to dramedy and based on a true story – so much to choose from, you’ll definitely find one that speaks to what you’re needing or looking for this time of year. Also, books – books about daily creativity, about finding ourselves, and a novel to prompt thought about romantic entanglements and their longevity in our lives. Decor and clothing finds – some on sale, some just too gorgeous to pass up, and some, even without a sale, are quite nice! Still, there is more…

Two new holiday films, books for lovers of history and romance, books about relationships and confidence as well as a gardening book that green-thumbs on your list will love. And there are still more subjects to explore in the titles shared this week. Also, a new podcast from a British voice you will no doubt recognize, sales on all sorts of finds for Francophiles, and shopping for clothes, tech, skincare, and more, and to get us started, a holiday song that will prompt you to start tapping your toes and get into the spirit of the season.
