@Brooke they’re both great in their own way, you get a lot of background history in the book and i always love seeing the authentic photos of the people/events involved
@Bridget I’ll start with my love of John Irving… I’ve just started reading one of his newer ones… I love his older ones though.. The world according to Garp/ A prayer for Owen Meaney/ and Hotel New Hampshire are 3 of my favourites. But I’ve read all but 2/3 and own all of them!
I don’t have specific books to read I’m just reading as many as I can while still enjoying reading. Since May, I’ve read 5 books and am about too finish at least three more before the end of July.
A Pocket Full if Murder by R.J Anderson
And Hacksaw Ridge,
Hacksaw Ridge was good, very different to the film
@Jo I’d imagine so, they’d have to change some things for theatrics and such, but I’m still excited to read about it.

@Bridget I’m not working at the moment- FT mum on an expat assignment- I really thought I’d lost a month for a minute!!! ??
I’m reading John Irving- Avenue of Mysteries… just started it- so it’ll probably take me into August!!!
Carmel Geromoschos-Sheil I haven’t heard of John Irving. Is Fantastic Beasts a book? I see the adult coloring pages in your pic lol

Adding to that- he’s a bit quirky and always touches on he gritty in a powerful way.
Fantastic Beasts- well- it’s JK Rowling- A screen Play. I think it’s great. Love the movie too.
thanks!
@Bridget you’re welcome!!
Ooh @Carmel I LOVE Cider House Rules. How is Avenue of Mysteries going?
@Stephanie ahhhhh… you know I debated putting Cider House in my list… I think the movie changed it for me…. an adaptation I liked and yet didn’t…
I’ve been so tired since I started reading it I think I’ve read 4/5 pages only and keep falling asleep!!! ?Don’t think it’s the books fault!!!
This is the rest of July’s – plus red mountain and 2 audio books
Little Fires Everywhere is sooo good!
All of last spring’s TBR list! ?

The President Is Missing
The Warmth of Other Suns
Born A Crime
Hillbilly Elegy

How is the Gurnsey Litterary? I know a movie is coming out based on that book
@Bridget ..I’m loving it.
@Bridget one of my favorites
The Great Alone, Less, and Uneducated!
