here's my #FirstLineFridays thanks to @ShyBookOwl for this fun idea.

I'm looking forward to reading this, 😂 it will be a lot lighter than my other current, myths about Mesopotamia

Jamaica Inn | Daphne Du Maurier

I started two buddy reads today. The first chapters of both involve a mother dying after a long illness while being faithfully nursed by her daughter. It‘s a good thing I saw my mom yesterday and she was well… 😬

A friendly reminder that #HitchToScreen buddy read of Jamaica Inn starts today. If you want to be added to or taken off the tag list let @JenlovesJT47 know. You have 6 weeks to read the book & it is very casual. Just read & post a review when you‘re done & tag @JenlovesJT47 There may be a watch party for the movie when the 6 weeks are up. Happy reading!

JessClark78 I‘d like to be added to the tag list. 🙂 4d

JenlovesJT47 @JessClark78 yay! ☺️ 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I‘ve done so many chapter-a-day buddy reads that I forgot this isn‘t one 😂 oh well, perfectly good pace! 4d

AnishaInkspill @JenlovesJT47 thanks for the nudge I will start this weekend. I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up with the pace as I am also reading a couple of other books but will try. 4d

CrowCAH Oh man I wish I had known about this buddy read. This book has been on my TBR for some time. I already have my books planned out for November and December. I‘m not sure I could squeeze one more in with all the book discussion dates. But, I could try… 2d

JenlovesJT47 @CrowCAH we‘re just starting #HitchToScreen this month and there‘s no pressure! This is our first book and I‘m going to try to plan the books out for the next year, I plan on putting everything to a vote in the next week or two. No rush to finish the book, just read it at your leisure & if you don‘t finish on time no worries. I can add you to the tag list if you want. I will post the link below to the book list. 🤗 2d

CrowCAH @JenlovesJT47 oh wow, I didn‘t realize a lot of those movies were off of books! Yes, please, tag me and I‘ll see if I can join in with the current book. 2d

Repost for @JenlovesJT47

Ok so the first book up for our Hitchcock buddy read will be Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier. This is one of the only ones on the list where I haven‘t seen the movie yet and I‘m excited! It starts Nov 1st and it‘s pretty laid back, we will have six weeks to read it and just post a review when you‘re done and tag me. Use the tag #HitchToScreen and let me know if you have any questions! Anyone is welcome to join!

JenlovesJT47 Also would love to set up some kind of watch party for the movie once we‘re done with the book. Let me know if you‘re interested! 3w

TorieStorieS I‘ve never seen this one so I am up for a watch party for sure! 3w

GingerAntics There are multiple works by this author that are Hitchcock movies. Jamaica Inn, The Birds… and that‘s just a Quick Look. Wow! I guess we are getting to know this author better. 😝 3w

GingerAntics @JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I saw it once in college… but for the life of me, I‘m only able to remember the opening screen of the DVD. Maybe I will remember more while reading. 3w

CogsOfEncouragement I read Rebecca two years ago, and The Birds last year. I enjoyed them both. This one looks good too. I‘m in! Thanks for hosting. 3w

TorieStorieS @GingerAntics I love both Charles Laughton and Maureen O‘Hara, so I think that really made this all the more surprising that I‘ve never seen it! I‘m so excited to start off with a new-to-me book and movie! 3w

JenlovesJT47 @CogsOfEncouragement awesome! @TorieStorieS @GingerAntics I‘ve seen all but 2 or 3 of the movies from this list so I‘m excited to watch the movie, I love Maureen O‘Hara! ❤️ 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Awesome, I‘m in! 3w

JenlovesJT47 As a heads up to everyone, The Birds and Psycho are on Netflix right now. 🤓 3w

bthegood I will put this book on my list for November reads and add #HitchtoScreen to my list of “book clubs“ - thanks for doing this! 3w

AnishaInkspill Thanks @JenlovesJT47 I've made a note of the dates, will add son, and I love your photo 💛 💛 3w

Alfred Hitchcock: Portraits of Murder | Alfred Hitchcock

I have put together a list of all the source material that Alfred Hitchcock made movie magic from. I want to start a buddy read beginning in November and will tag those who have shown interest. Will wait for feedback from everyone. Let me know if you would like to do 1 book a month, or perhaps 1 every 6 weeks so there‘s less pressure. I‘m posting a link to the Google doc of the list of books. We can start at the beginning (1929) or even go ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Backwards, it‘s up to you! And I‘d love for more people to join. Let me know if you‘re interested! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-uC-1JP_sE9ESOqtfiZWvaeKBPL2UtOkJ9YamlE8Zks/... 3w

Sace The link says I need to request access. I would be interested but I‘d like to see the list first if that‘s ok? 3w

JenlovesJT47 @sace sorry about that! I rarely use Google docs so I don‘t really know what I‘m doing lol 😆 I updated it where anyone can access it, let me know if it doesn‘t work 3w

JenlovesJT47 Also, to anyone interested, I do have an online resource where you can download some of the more hard to find books for free! 3w

Sace @JenlovesJT47 there are a couple I might be up for (Like Jamaica Inn) but I don‘t know if I‘d be up for all 3w

JenlovesJT47 @Sace that‘s fine! You can jump in and join whenever you feel like it. 3w

quietjenn I may jump in for some of them! 3w

JenlovesJT47 @quietjenn awesome! 🤗 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Wow, I had no idea there were so many! I‘m definitely interested in reading more du Maurier, but also probably won‘t be in for all. 3w

AnishaInkspill this is an amazing list, at a stretch I may be able to do 1 every 2 months. 3w

JenlovesJT47 @sace @quietjenn @Clare-Dragonfly @AInkspill we don‘t have to do these in any particular order so what does everyone think about doing Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier for our first book in November? Since there seems to be a lot of interest for her books. 🙃 3w

AnishaInkspill @JenlovesJT47 I have Jamaica Inn, so yeah, I can do that 😊 3w

TorieStorieS This sounds so fun! Count me in for them all! 😊 3w

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS yay! I‘m waiting to hear back from the others but we‘ll be starting in November and I think we‘ll do one book every 6 weeks. Most of the harder to find books are on Anna‘s Archive 🤓 3w

TorieStorieS Sounds great!! 3w

Sace @JenlovesJT47 sounds good to me! 3w

Sace I went ahead and got Psycho for my kindle. I definitely want to read that with y‘all. 3w

JenlovesJT47 @Sace awesome! Psycho is so good btw! I‘ll be posting the details soon for Jamaica Inn ❤️ 3w
