Goldfinger | Litsy

I had to look up who Pussy Galore is in the James Bond franchise. I saw part of one of the James Bond movies but I don‘t remember what the movie was called. Maybe it was one of the newer movies, I don‘t know. I still think her name is weird. Maybe I don‘t get it because it was before my time and before my mom‘s time too. I was born in 1990. My mom was born in 1961 and the book was published in 1959.

kelli7990 (Continued in comments) The movie was released in 1964. I didn‘t know this franchise was so old. I don‘t know if my mom has seen the movie. Maybe I don‘t understand the appeal of James Bond because it was before my time. (edited) 6mo

Merry Christmas everyone! After 3 weeks of uncertainty, we might be on the verge of closing a house to rent, just before the end of Christmas here! I'm both excited and nervous about the impending move. I hope everyone's having a lovely holiday!

ā€I don‘t drink tea. I hate it. It‘s mud. Moreover it‘s one of the main reasons for the downfall of the British Empire. Be a good girl and make some coffee.ā€¯

so-so

The spying - heist part is OK on par with the other James bond, but the recurrent racism and the opinions of bond on the first 2 lesbians characters are more than dated (and the 'I never met a real man before' when one of them 'changes her mind')...

Book, tea, journal :) a nice start for a bank holiday. I had to laugh yesterday evening when a character was described as only one of 3 to have a black belt in karate, and then an info dump on karate, read this out loud to my karate trained partner ;)

Fun book, but damn it is a tough read. Fleming was not a modern man.

I have lots of books with purple spines, but most don't have predominantly purple covers. I chose these two because haven't shared a photo of these lovely covers before. I'll have to show off the rest of this set soon! #PurpleCover #AprilBookishMadness

GarthRanzz Love these versions! The covers remind me so much of all the ā€men‘sā€¯ books I saw when I was growing up. All the pulp. 7y

TK-421 @GarthRanzz They totally nailed the look, didn't they? 7y

I couldn't think of anything that we owned or that I have read that made me think of bug. So I asked my husband what he thinks of when it comes to the word bug, and he said, "spy, surveillance, like James Bond." So that is Post 5: bug #sizzlinsummerbooks #groupeffort
