We discuss the books that we've read
and what we're planning to read for the week.
Read and talked about last week:
The Good House- awesome audio...will be a top pick this year for sure!
The Darkest Hour- romance, adventure, and family at the heart, will be back for more!
Bookish Thoughts to share this week:
Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe- audio book
Looking For Me by Beth Hoffman
I won't be around much this week visiting and commenting on blogs as we are coming into the home stretch for Marc's Graduation on June 2nd. I have last minute things to order, purchase, and tweaking the rooms for family to sleep in, and generally being a total wreck!!
Take care my friends and I will be back with photos for sure!

It really is a great book - I just have to, one of these days, get over Robert Redford as Gatsby. I just can't feel like he's not the perfect man!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to re-read that book and maybe audio is the way to go. I'll be watching to see what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteI read the book and thought it was okay. I have yet to see the movie. Hope you enjoy the audio!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your thoughts on the Beth Hoffman book.
ReplyDeleteThe Great Gatsby is on my TBR list too and I'm yet to see the movie new or original lol. Looking forward to your thoughts on Looking For Me although I already know they're going to be good :)
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and sending big hugs across the miles for the 'home stretch' xx
Yay Hoffman review coming :D
ReplyDeleteI read Great Gatsby last year and enjoyed it, and then I read The Great Lenore, which is based on the ideas in Fitzgerald's book. I enjoyed both.

ReplyDeleteI think Jake Gyllenhaal did a wonderful job with the narration, Staci. It's one of my favorite books so I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI read this a while ago and liked it but didn't love it. I do want to see the movie though.
ReplyDeleteI got Jill's newest delivered to my Kindle this AM.. woooo hoooooooooo!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to pick up that audio although its not that cheap for me in Canada. Still not too bad at ten bucks. Hope all goes well with the grad plans. Can't wait to hear about it!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading The Great Gatsby in high school but don't remember any of the details. That's sad, isn't it? Enjoy!
ReplyDeletemaybe I should give it another try. I read it in school and I didn't like it. I didn't like the original movie either. I watched it because I was a teenager and adored Robert Redford.
ReplyDeleteI read TGG before blogging, and all I remember is that I didn't care for it. I put it in the typical classics category. I know many people who have thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I have no intentions to see it.
