Klou Okay, I have to admit, I love the sound of this book!! 4y

CrowCAH @Klou it‘s more 3/5 for me, interesting, but not the best; I liked it. I‘ve even seen the movie with John Travolta! 4y

Klou @CrowCAH aah okay. It's also a movie? Aah, the movie adaption of this and the movie for day 2 have the same actor, double points! 😁👍 4y

CrowCAH @Klou woohoo yes! I didn‘t do it on purpose. I‘ve never seen pulp fiction, so I had to look up what it even was about, and the first book that came to mind that I‘ve read was Get Shorty. 4y

Klou @CrowCAH you smashed it, unintentionally 😂 it's a really great movie! In my top 3 of Quentin Tarantino movies, for sure!! I do a post early hours of every day (UK time) with information about the movie of that day to help people who don't know much about that movie. They're all tagged with #IYLTMovieFacts so they're easier to find. 4y

CrowCAH @Klou thanks! IMDb also has the answers 😊 4y

Klou @CrowCAH yes! Always my go to for movies! I've been adding be IMDb rating to the posts because to me that's THE rating to refer to before a movie. 4y

Wonderfully clever and frequently hilarious caper which begins with small-time loan shark Chili Palmer attempting to collect a loan from a guy who has apparently died in a plane crash and turns into a satire on Hollywood and a dazzling piece of metafiction in which the pitch for the movie Chili is hoping to make is the novel we are currently reading. Brilliant.

#InMemoriam #MayBookFlowers @RealLifeReading

Here's to Elmore Leonard, whom I met, before he passed away in 2013, and got him to sign my book. Brilliant man! "Never start a book with the weather."

SaraFair I have another friend Cynthia too and this made me think of her. Every Spring she loved to see the bloom of the "For Cynthia" bushes. 7y

CrowCAH @SaraFair that's super sweet! They are beautiful yellow flowers, when in bloom! 7y

For all aspiring writers.

I've pretty much memorized these lines by now. Whenever I feel like I can't write, I recite the words, chuckle, and keep going.

Alfoster 😂😂😂! I love the movie too! 8y

so-so

Read Get Shorty for an adaptation class and then watched the movie. Then I met Elmore Leonard, at a local library, and he signed my copy. Now he's in Heaven, with all the other great authors! #bookchristmastree of local Michigan authors #seasonsreadings2016

Help! I need some short book recommendations to help me hit my reading goals. Looking for fiction preferably, almost any genre. I'd prefer no short stories at this point. Readable... you know. Recommendations requested!

annahenke Have you read the Flavia de Luce series? Those are pretty short and very fun! 8y

Jessicav @annahenke I've read the first 5 I think, but that's a great call. It's time to continue on with the series. 8y

annahenke I just started listening to book 6 - they are great on audio! 8y

saresmoore If you're a fan of YA, Everything, Everything is a quick read, well-written, and with an interesting premise.

Everything, Everything

Jessicav @saresmoore I'm on hold for it! I just finished The Sun is Also a Star and loved it so hard. I can't wait for it to come in! 8y

Jessicav @annahenke Thanks! I'm now trolling Goodreads to see where I left off, but am realizing that I missed books 4 and I think 5... hmm. 8y

HardcoverHearts 84, Charring Cross Road is perfect for something like this, if you haven't read it before. It's like 101 pages... and a delight! 8y

Jessicav @HardcoverHearts oh that's been on my list for forever! Good call. I'm placing a hold at the library. 8y
