I don't see many movies, we don't have access to much variety in theaters, and it's hard to watch grown up movies at home with children around. <br />But I still enjoy hearing about them, and books - oh, books, I can't get enough of!<br />I feel the same way about endings, which is why A Thousand Splendid Suns was such a favorite. Not only did I learn so much from it, but I rarely read a book that leaves me so satisfied with it's ending & no strings left untied. amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-593393011782586882014-07-10T06:51:09.828-07:002014-07-10T06:51:09.828-07:00You've turned me on to some great books and mo...You've turned me on to some great books and movies- thanks.

I will have to check into reading it. I have a feeling I will skip it.<br /><br />I've seen reviews about JoJo Moyes latest book. I've not read her. I'm a reading slump right now. I hate when I don't think anything catches my eye to read.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-12101179256169273932014-07-09T16:38:10.601-07:002014-07-09T16:38:10.601-07:00Glorious weather, all day hike, sky diving...marve...Glorious weather, all day hike, sky diving...marvelous! :) I wrote down that JoJo author for my library lady list. I agree with Gone Girl. I think everyone may have been a bit thrown by the ending. But I had no idea they have been making a movie!! I will be dying of curiosity to find out how they end the story!! Can hardly wait! I have Ida in my queue for when it's available on Netflix. Comparing it to Shindler's List makes me really look forward to it. Even if those kind of films are hard to watch, they are the ones that touch your soul deeply. Enjoy the wonderful weather! I bet your garden is happy-happy!! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-7918431310845001522014-07-09T12:58:45.343-07:002014-07-09T12:58:45.343-07:00My goodness.

I am halfway through the second one, and so far I am enjoying them. It is kind of funny how we take cell phones for granted now but it wasn't that long ago that we didn't have them, like in 1987 when the first novel of the series was published. I like being able to picture all the settings that are so familiar to me.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-6237419041853320282014-07-08T17:32:58.736-07:002014-07-08T17:32:58.736-07:00You've been very busy with movies and reading....You've been very busy with movies and reading.

The ending? It was different.

It has also creeped me out. Psychologically nasty wasn't it?
