I totally agree with you th...Hi Literary Feline!<br /> I totally agree with you that you cannot compare a novel to a screen play. AND, I don't enjoy reading screen plays either (unless it's my Brother Ernie's screen plays). But, I may relent and read this eventually and I would definitelty be up for going to Broadway and seeing it, which may be a reality next year! Oh how I miss that feeling you got when a new Harry Potter book was going to be released! I may have to read them all again after I retire!<br /><br />OK... Ove definitely moving up on the TBR list! And I have had The House Girl on my Kindle since it came out! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing and stopping by!Suzanne Yesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340451897624838384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-55188787503752028592016-08-07T17:28:04.696-04:002016-08-07T17:28:04.696-04:00Oprah brought many good books to my attention.

That's so interesting, the process bookstores go through with her selections . . . No one else has that kind of power when recommending a book, do they? I hope you enjoy The Underground Railroad!<br /><br />I think I have a copy of The House Girl on my kindle. It's been there awhile. I'm so bad about keeping up with the books I buy.<br /><br />My husband is really wanting to read the new Potter book, and I'm curious about it. I think it's unfair to expect a screenplay to carry the same depth and allure of a novel, but that's just me. I have never been a huge fan of reading plays--I'd much prefer to watch them. And really, it isn't written by J.K. Rowling. It's just based on her story. <br /><br />I am looking forward to reading Britt-Marie. I loved Ove. I am glad you are enjoying Gemini!<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful week, Suzanne!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-81769152282444057032016-08-07T13:53:17.308-04:002016-08-07T13:53:17.308-04:00Yes, Laurel, even though Britt-Marie was slow-goin...Yes, Laurel, even though Britt-Marie was slow-going, I did love it.
