ReadtheMovies

I was having a hard time deciding where to start with @MeganAnn 's awesome #NewYearWhoDis list, but then this hold came in early on OverDrive so I dove right in! About 25% read and so far so good 👍

Megan, which book are you starting with?

@monalyisha

Crazeedi Not sure what I think, the beginning has jumped around a bit.

Mrs. Sherlock Holmes: The True Story of New York City's Greatest Female Detective and the 1917 Missing Girl Case That Captivated a Nation

MeganAnn I think this is a perfect choice to start with! In fact, I almost sent you this book for the #readthemovies swap but then changed my mind. Hope you enjoy it! I‘ve been debating which book to start with from your list all day, but I‘m thinking something fast paced is in order to start so I might go with

Dark Matter

TheKidUpstairs @MeganAnn ooh, good choice. It's definitely a fast paced read. It'll twist your brain around a couple times! 6y

The History of Love | Nicole Krauss

Snowed in today so I‘m shopping online for books I need from @TheKidUpstairs #NewYearWhoDis reading list. Here‘s all 14 books she loved in 2018 & it‘s a great list!
I‘ve already read & loved Lumberjanes & The History of Love, but may sneak in rereads if I feel like it.
Son of Achilles she actually gifted me in the #readthemovies swap so I‘m definitely reading that one!
Copies of Dark Matter & The Princess Bride are already on my TBR shelves. ⤵️

MeganAnn This one comes highly recommended by our lovely host @monalyisha who was my partner for #freakyfriday so it‘s a must read:

Educated: A Memoir

MeganAnn And the rest all sound very good as well so I‘m going to try and read as many of them as possible in the month of January. Mary Poppins will probably be read with my son before bed if I can sneak it in. 6y

CouronneDhiver The Namesake was quite good! 👍🏽 6y

MeganAnn @CouronneDhiver that‘s one I‘m really looking forward to! 6y

monalyisha Love the graphic you made for the bottom right! I can‘t wait to read your thoughts on “Educated.” And I‘ve heard only great things about “Dark Matter,” so I‘m looking forward to your review of that, too! 6y

TheKidUpstairs Can't wait to see what you think of them! Keep me posted on what you're reading 😁 6y

BrooklynBookGirl I loved Dark Matter!! 6y

@CarolynM thank you so very much! Your #readthemovies selection is perfect and I don‘t know which to start first - the book or the movie

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I saw the movie, thought it was good. Wish I'd of known it was a book first. I like to read before I watch 6y

lynneamch I loved the movie and would still like to read the Hamm book. There are 3 other books with the same title in the Litsy database. So confusing! 6y

CarolynM Very glad it all arrived in time. I really hope you enjoy the book and film experience. 6y

Little Children: A Novel | Tom Perrotta

THANK YOU @DoonTheGoon - I couldn‘t wait any longer to open my #ReadTheMovies swap (and now you MUST open yours!
I have NOT read either book, and it‘s been terribly long time for ‘No Country for Old Men‘ (and don‘t remember it too well, love Coen Bros). There were soo many coincidences in this box, that I must tell you about (maybe in comments); it was so well thought about and put together, I wish I could give you a hug.
Thanks for doing this! 💓

DoonTheGoon Omg hooray I am SO GLAD you like everything!!! 😀🍿🎬🎥💜 I might be biased but I had SO MUCH FUN shopping for you! 6y

kamoorephoto @DoonTheGoon So Dana, I have worked with Jim Taylor, who collaborated with Tom Perrotta, to adapt the script for ‘Election‘; he was one of the scriptwriters (and has written multiple Hollywood scripts). I didn‘t recognize the name at first! Also, the little pop-open notes? I send those, but have never received one! Pocky? I love them. The gloves? I could‘ve used these exact ones on set. Also, I totally love washi tape... 💓💓💓 6y

DoonTheGoon @kamoorephoto Ahh that's so awesome! Perrotta lives pretty local to me and I love his work. Had to share. And I'm so glad so many of the items spoke to you. I couldn't resist! 6y

Oh Man Littens life is crazy at the moment! I miss you all and I will be back on here as soon as I get a chance to take a breath! But I just wanted to let @Joy0201 that you have 2 #readthemovies parcels on there way to you- one from me in the UK and 1 from amazon.com. I had my heart set on sending you a certain film and could not get the region 1 version here for love nor money!! So when a random amazon parcel arrives it‘s from me! ❤️

Joy0201 Got it! Thank you! 6y
