Looking back at it now, it was a really solid reading year. I mean, it did its usual (for me) thing and meandered its merry way, here and there, up and down, and in fits and starts across the span of all twelve months. But it really did shape up nicely. Which is a good thing, because it was—shockingly, I know—another year in which we so desperately needed the authors and books and words of the world to come through for us. And they did, didn't they? I am, as ever, so grateful for them and their willingness to push through every barrier and battle that I know must try to keep them from putting their visions on paper. And so, as has long been my custom, I record here my list of published books that saw me through the year. Gifts, every one. (listed in the order in which I read them) The Atlas Complex by Olivie Blake Bride by Ali Hazelwood You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian Once Persuaded, Twice Shy by Melodie Edwards Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary Lips Like Sugar by Jes...
Guess I should go ahead and read it! I hope it lives up to your hopes and expectations!
ReplyDeleteHuh. I am curious to see how they will pull this off. Esp. the mild incest.
ReplyDeleteOhhh - goody! And those FAQs were made of awesome.
ReplyDeleteAmy, you should! It's gorgeous. And I hope so, too. :)
ReplyDeleteJenny, I imagine it will go down similar to the book. It is what it is. But it will be interesting to see how much they play up the family connection or not.
Michelle, I know! I was delighted.
Awesome! Here's to hoping they do a good job . . . =)
ReplyDeleteOh, that's great news! Now all that's left for me to do is to actually read the book, who's been sitting in my TBR pile forever!
ReplyDeleteCam, seriously. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteKay, lol. Bump it up, woman. :)
Wow, she thinks the script is better than the book?
ReplyDeleteSome authors, I'd think they're exaggerating or being nice. Based on what little I've read about/by Rosoff, she doesn't seem the type.
Trisha, I know. I found myself thinking the same thing. She thinks it's better? Um, wow...
ReplyDeleteI became interested in literature recently, and I think that reading books is the best thing it happened to me since the invention of the cinemas, I like to read suspense novels and also literature about short movies.
ReplyDeleteWell I think it will be a great film. However, I need more opinions. Why do you think it will be a successful film or not? I would be really grateful if I receive some opinions.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a good film as it would be a great way of introducing moral responsibility to those on the threshold of adulthood. But what do you think?
great post, i really like, you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI read this book two years ago, and absolutely loved it! I was hoping they would make a movie of it and I'm thrilled that they chose Saoirse Ronan for Daisy
