I’d wanted to read Where the Heart is for a long time, after seeing the movie. Yes it’s the one where the girl lives in Wal-Mart, great book & the movie was very close to the book which I always love.
Murder on the Leviathan was different, translated from Russian, our hero is Poirot like. A whodunnit that had me guessing till the end.
The Chestnut Tree, set in WW2, telling it like it was, how lives were changed, happy, sad, some romance, a good read.
Winter Solstice, now I bought the dvd for this a few weeks ago, & I thought the story sounded familiar, but when I looked, I didn’t have the book, I must have borrowed it from the library. The next week, while browsing the books in an op shop, what do I find??? Winter Solstice, great timing, now I’ve reread the book, I’ll watch the film. I really enjoyed the book but it ends too soon. I googled to see if there was a sequel, there is & there isn’t. There isn’t a sequel for the book, but there is one for the film, called, wait for it, ‘Summer Solstice.’ So I’ll keep an eye out for it.
read your post about the pantry...smart idea...I hate wasted space...someday I'll show my pantry when I get around to taking photos again.
ReplyDeleteI loved the book "Where the Heart is" and I've read it more than once and saw the movie. I recently read a new book by Billie Letts.
I've always loved Rosemunde Pilcher. Don't remember this one though.
Happy Reading,
