I didn‘t expect to finish #TheGoldfinch today already, but then my train got delayed for 90 minutes, so I suddenly had a lot more times. I also made waffles 🧇 today ☺️.
The first 100 pages and the last 20 were one of the most beautiful pages ever written. The rest is very long, often still good, but it‘s also very long.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

thewallflower0707 @SRWCF It‘s on my Netflix watchlist. Although, apart from your comment, I‘ve only heard bad things about it. 2y

Cathythoughts My copy is in #hibernation but I haven‘t forgotten it and hope I‘ll get beck to it soon ...or someday , I agree about the beautiful writing 2y

Cathythoughts Oh it‘s a movie .... I must try and find it 2y

The Goldfinch: A Novel | Donna Tartt

I adore this sentence! I‘m at the part where they arrive in Las Vegas. I heard a lot of criticism about this chapter, so I hope it won‘t be too bad. So far, I really enjoyed the book 📖 🐦.

Verity | Colleen Hoover

The books 📖 I plan to read this weekend! I already started #Verity by Colleen Hoover today. Both CoHo books arrived yesterday in the mail, and I bought #TheGoldfinch in October ‘21. I was so impressed with TSH, and I‘m a bit worried that TG won‘t meet my expectations 😬.

What are your plans for the weekend?

Five Dark Fates | Kendare Blake

Finishing up Five Dark Fates by Kendare Blake then starting The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Staying home again to care for the sick children means reading time while they rest!

I am at my beach house in Assateague MD and in 4 more hours I hope to see The Goldfinch movie. Can‘t wait!

Hoopiefoot Yay! I live in southern DE & love the chairs in that movie theater. I go there for Met in HD Opera broadcasts in the winter 😀 5y

EadieB @Hoopiefoot Yes! The chairs are very comfortable. 5y

PurpleyPumpkin I‘m really intrigued by this movie. I just can‘t figure out how they made that whole book into a movie! A miniseries, yes. But a movie? It just doesn‘t seem like enough time. 🤔 5y

EadieB @PurpleyPumpkin The movie is 2-1/2 hours long. I think the beginning goes through a lot of introducing things pretty quickly. 5y

PurpleyPumpkin @EadieB Good morning! Just wondering what you thought of the movie? I read so decent reviews. Hope you enjoyed it. 👍🏽 5y

EadieB @PurpleyPumpkin I think if you read the book, you will enjoy it more. I had to explain some things to my husband as he didn‘t read the book. I did like it alot (edited) 5y

PurpleyPumpkin Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for your feedback. I‘ll be sure to watch it! 5y

EadieB @PurpleyPumpkin Great! Enjoy! 5y

Taylor @PurpleyPumpkin Well, the way they fit it all in was by barely touching on every plot point; so everything is skimmed over and nothing has any emotional impact 🙄 5y

EadieB @Taylor That is exactly what they did and you are absolutely right. Very keen observation! 5y

Taylor @EadieB Ha thanks. I adore this book and was really hoping for something decent with this movie; for me it was a huge disappointment. But I‘m hoping some streaming service will get the rights and do it properly. 5y

EadieB @Taylor it‘s just that the book is 800 pgs and the movie would have to be very long to do it right and are people willing to sit that long if they haven‘t read the book. 5y

Taylor @EadieB Yeah. But if they had made it two movies or made it a tv show it could‘ve worked well. There is so much potential, because the story is actually epic. 5y

EadieB @Taylor Yes That is what they need to do. She is definitely a very beautiful writer. One of my favorites. I was reading some of your reviews. You have a great way of expressing yourself. You should be a writer too! 5y

Taylor @EadieB That‘s so nice of you to say. Thank you! ❤️ Actually I am a writer, at taylornapolsky.com—I post the stuff I get published and I‘m working on getting longer works published as well. Also Facebook.com/taylornapolsky; you can click follow there if you want. Sorry to spam your comments here, it‘s just...well no one else is going to promote me, that‘s for sure, ha. 5y

EadieB @Taylor I'm glad you're not wasting your talent because I was literally blown away by some of your wording in the reviews. 5y

Taylor @EadieB Thanks again! 5y
