Welcome to Litsy!

This was such a fun coffee table book!

This book is just like the title suggests, good movies as old books. Essentially, movies turned into vintage book covers. The term “good movies” is subjective. The author states in his introduction, “These are films that made me laugh, cry, think, question, and celebrate” (pg. 7).

This week we celebrate the best in the books we read in the past year. It's time for the Book Oscars!! We debate fun categories such as best villain and best scene before announcing the winners for best book, best character, and best author. We love doing this episode!

Also, if you like upcoming book news we have a bit of that in the beginning. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

Had a lot of fun reading this one. I now need to talk Matt into watching all 52 of these! 🤣

After compiling so many movie surveys lately for #TLT, I decided to dive into this fun-and-fact-filled book by TCM. It's a thoughtfully compiled guide to some of the most influential films in cinema history and based on THE ESSENTIALS series aired weekly on TCM. Aimed at both casual viewers and dedicated film enthusiasts, the book offers a balanced selection of classics spanning multiple genres, eras, and styles. I'll have to read the others!

I‘ve seen Ghost, Beauty And The Beast, Pulp Fiction, Juno, The Blind Side, Up, LOTR: Fellowship Of The Ring, LOTR: The Two Towers, LOTR: The Return Of The King, Moulin Rouge, Crouching Tiger: Hidden Dragon.
I want to see Jerry Maguire, Erin Brockovich, Avatar, The Green Mile. I like Tom Hanks. I found out that he and I share a birthday. Our birthdays are both on July 9 but we were born different years.
