In reply to Catherine. That would be wonderful! I always like hearing your thoughts on books. I've recently added Dead Letters to my TBR list based on some comments I've seen from you. We should meet up sometime!

We would make really great book club buddies! We agree on some things, but not on others and so would always have something to talk about! As you know I adored A Gentleman in Moscow and really liked The Girls but both Lucy Barton and Behind Closed Doors were misses for me. The good news is we are in complete agreement about News of the World and Before the Wind (which you know I flipped over).

Basically either I need to move south or you need to come north so we can yammer about books for hours on end!

Oh, wow; I felt like I was completely alone in my struggle with The Girls! I’m happy to hear that you had a similar experience! I also had trouble with Don’t You Cry and, I think, for the same reason. I find that I really have to check my expectations; it seems that when I’m SUPER pumped about a new release (especially by a familiar author), things don’t turn out as well as I’d hoped.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. We don't have HBO, so I'm hoping it will be on Netflix eventually!

In reply to Gabby. Nice to hear someone else who agrees with me on The Girls. I feel like we're in the minority by a lot!

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. I just got tired of the Count in Gentleman. He was too accepting!

In reply to Angela. Have you started watching Big Little Lies on HBO? They have made a lot fo changes, but after the first episode I'm still interested.

In reply to Annie. I agree! The reverse structure really got in the way of the story itself.

I had similar feelings about The Girls…there was so much hype that it didn’t quite measure up. I did love Cline’s writing, though, and I’m really interested to see what she does next.
