It is a lovely feeling :-) but he's a pretty awesome boy himself. I went to his school to watch a play, and in front of all his friends he came up, gave me a big hug...and asked when was I next taking him to the movies lol

Rumour of the month from my second hand book shop dealer….for Lee Child fans, apparently the first of his books is now being made into a movie…….and for some unknown reason, Tom Cruise has been chosen to play Jack Reacher!
I wish I could say April Fool now, but it apparently is true! Can't imagine it myself, does Jack Reacher jump on chairs?

I don't see it either, and I'm not sure why they are making book 9; One Shot

Tom Cruise would have to be the absolute WORST choice they could have made! What is he...5' tall, Reacher is 6'4"!!! What a joke!

[[deleted user]]

Im pretty sure tom was picked way at the beginning of the year, I seem to remember there being huge out rage in the states, like death letters to the movie company

Wow! That's pretty serious!! But hey, he's a dumb choice!!

[Sherri]

Tom Cruise is definitely not the Reacher type.... I think more of a Clint Eastwood kind of guy would do the trick

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sherri wrote: "Tom Cruise is definitely not the Reacher type.... I think more of a Clint Eastwood kind of guy would do the trick"

Definitely Sherri!

[Sherri]

Its just ever since J read the first Reacher novel, I thought of Reacher as a younger Eastwood cuz of the self assiredness and his confident attitude

[Michael]

I kind of pictured Jeremy Renner from The Hurt Locker when I read my first Reacher novel, but he's too short; only 5'10

[Sherri]

lol I love being able to have this discussion while drinking a slurpee on the way home from Murray Bridge xD

Haha!! Is it hot over there Sherri?

[Sherri]

Sort of, I was working with my dad so it was a bit muggy but now the breeze from driving is heavenly :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sounds nice, it's quite hot here...30c ish!

[Sherri]

Lovely! Haha here in Callington its around 24C

And that would be hot to you after Alaska's weather;D

[Sherri]

It is, though I'm not native to AK, I'm a Virginian by birth and until I was about 11 so I love the hot weather :D

You'd love it here then...Darwin, North Queensland, anywhere north would suit you perfectly! :)

[Sherri]

But its humid there right?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Very humid:( Hate humidity!! If you don't like it either, you would love Perth:D

[Sherri]

Lol, I would very much rather breathe my air than drink it lol. And I know one of these days I'm going to backpack around Oz and Perth and Darwin were already on my list :D
