pickHave I hassled you to read a Lissa Evans book yet?! This is her first, and it‘s more complex than the other two. There are more characters and storylines, and darker darks, so to speak, although still very funny. I loved it (needless to say). There‘s a Singing In The Rain type quality to the film production story, if you need another reason to give it a try.
Because I enjoyed Crooked Heart and Old Baggage (and WW2 home front stories in general,) I ordered this one. Quite good so far, although not as humorous as her others, but the Blitz doesn‘t tend to be if you‘re telling it true.
New week, new book! I decided to start this during my lunch. 👍🏽
Spent a good portion of the day trying to catch my dinner. Didn't catch any fish, but we did save a dragon fly, so that was something. Also didn't get to read much, but I've got the rest of the day for that, so. 😃
#BonBonCat is an indoor cat—as are the other seven—but today he escaped and is joining his mommies on the terrace. #CatsOfLitsy
"And the search for the boyfriend. Make him a fiance."
That's literally been my 2017... ugh...
• I've just been informed that Their Finest is being released for streaming on NowTV which means it will be on DVD soon and I can watch it again and again! This is one of my favourite films ever and ultimately favourite books too. Have you seen this? Or read it? What are your thoughts? ✨ #Lissaevans #theirfinest #historicalfiction #epicreads #booksofinstagram #bookishfeatures #met_createchange #booklover #bookstagram #bookblogger #bibliophile
Added this book to my TBR today... I'd seen the movie trailer (which looks so charming btw) but had no idea it was a book, until I heard about it on my favorite movie podcast..... Now I have to wait to see the movie until I've read the book! 😆
Last night I got to see Bill Nighy live in interview, discussing his new movie, which is an adaptation of this book. Funny and just like he is on screen (he also stole the movie!).
pickFinished this one up last night. It wasn't what I expected--more poignant and less madcap, but was fun and entertaining. Would recommend, even though Elliott didn't seem enthused. #DogsofLitsy
My #currentlyreading, excluding all the e-books. Nothing really grabbing me right now. 😿
pickLissa Evans, author of Crooked Heart, returns with Their Finest—a smart and funny tale set in WWII London, and soon to be a major motion picture.

On my way home from Hamilton, having a great time with this lovely!
