Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments As those of you who got my recommendation will already know, I really loved Touch Touch by Claire North by Claire North. 5★s.
I wondered if this could be as good as The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August: it is!

Emily Morgan (emilymmorgan) | 15 comments Reading Last Christmas and enjoying it, though I got confused at first with the jumping between timelines. It's a great escape from a very busy time of life at the moment!

I'm really enjoying it so far Jo, unlikable characters though, that's for sure.

Will you see the movie Mish (or have you already)? I saw the movie first and it's been on my list for sooo long. I think I need to bump it up :)

Yes Saving Wishes was a real surprise and not at all what I expected Brenda.
Runaway Lies by Shannon Curtis has started off really well too...a bit of intrigue ;)

No haven't seen it but would love too. When I closed the book last night, it was difficult to let them go...so seeing them in the movie would be lovely

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments and I can recommend the movie! I borrowed it from the library....

Mish | 3601 comments Marianne wrote: "and I can recommend the movie! I borrowed it from the library...."

Oh I am definitely going to watch it Marianne. I want to see Anne Hathaway play Emma. I had a clear picture of her face while I was reading it. And the way he described her features in the book was Anne Hathaway all over. :)

Not sure about Dexter, he was blond in the book.

Oh well, I will just have to see it :)


message 13138: by Marianne (new)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments I just finished Die Again by Tess Gerritsen, another 5 ★ read. How does she do it? I was a little worried that her sending Jane to Africa would be silly like what James Patterson did to Alex Cross in Cross Country, but I should have trusted Tess to make it believable and interesting.

I saw the movie before reading the book (and a handful of times since then), and for me there can be no other Dexter than Jim Sturgess. Perfect. Oh, and he ages very well in the film, too...

I guess I like less comfortable reads these days.

Did you never read that at school?

You should try Ordinary Grace by this author. Wonderful, wonderful story.

Thanks Bette. I thought I already had that on my TBR. It appears not. I have added it now. Thanks for the explanation about the Anne Tyler.

I have this one to read - someone told me it was written back to front which was what threw her.

No I missed out reading it at school. Such a shame! I am loving this now and my husband tells me there is a movie version with Leonard Nimoy. Must hunt that one down :)
