Hi Brona, Yeah I think you’ll like the Suite Francaise movie if you can find it. I definitely still want to see Far From the Madding Crowd movie … but I also would like to read the Hardy novel too.

I hope to catch the movie soon and attempt a reread sometime after (actually I just reaklised it wont be until after our move, as I’ve already packed up the bookshelf that SF was on!)

Actually I’m hoping to catch several movies this w/e. The boys will be away and the weather is meant to turn atrocious cold again. Madame Bovary and Far From the Madding Crowd are also in my sights! Any thoughts?
🙂

Thanks Jillann. Good to know. I won’t overhype it whenever I try out “A Hundred Summers.” I think I’ll take a break from Williams for awhile.

I think it was the genre for me, more than the story or writing – good but not great!

Oh yes, the U.S. team played terrific, especially in the final game! What a great World Cup it was. I know what you mean about not being your genre; I’m not sure it was mine either. The Suite Francaise is worth the read when you get to it. I can’t believe the author wrote the novel while the Occupation was happening. thanks Sarah

Yep, I enjoy commercial fiction and literary historical fiction but commercial historical fiction wouldn’t be my genre. You are reminding me to read Suite Francaise, a gift from my mom. I may need a bit of break since I just finished, and loved, All the Light We Cannot See.

Which one did you like of hers Kathy? I will check out her books out again in the future.

Thanks for clarifying her books, Michelle. I do plan to give Beatriz Williams’s books another shot … after awhile. You should check out Suite Francaise, I think you’d like it!

Thanks JoAnn, Yeah see if you can find that Suite Francaise movie. I still plan to read A Hundred Summers sometime. I take your word for it — that’s it’s a perfect beach read 🙂

Hi Laurel, Yeah I usually like political stories and have watched Season 1 of House of Cards. We liked it but it’s so dark and Machiavellian, each character seems bad. We took a break from it but will likely get back to see Season 2.
