In the center is a pouch I couldn‘t resist.
1. I couldn‘t pass up a John Lewis book especially at half off
2. Loved Kaur‘s other 2 books
3. This gave me Babysitters Club vibes and reading the insert she sounds like my kind of people.
4. HELL YES! Angie Thomas! I‘m so excited for this book.
5. I‘ve seen mixed reviews on this but I had to.
6. I‘ve seen nothing but good things about this book.

📖 > 🎥
The movie as a stand alone movie was pretty good. As an adaptation of the book, it‘s TOTAL GARBAGE!!! Two good characters were turned bad. Useless characters were added to the end. The ending was entirely changed. Basically, the book and the movie took a beginning and then did their own things from there. Half the suspense of the book was lost in the first minutes of the movie when they revealed who the “solders” are.

GingerAntics THE BOOK IS *WAY* BETTER. Compared to the rest of the movie series, this one diverged much more from the book and in ways that are far more important/detrimental to the plot. Of the three, this movie is by far the worst. I like the other two movies, but I probably won‘t be watching this one again. #DanBrown #RobertLangdonSeries #Inferno #thebookisbetter (edited) 4y

#adventrecommends day 10!

I read this because of the movie, and - I know this goes without saying - #thebookisbetter

Kimberlone How did I not know this was based on a book?! Love the movie 4y

Finally got around to watching this movie & while it's good, it's good in it's own right, separate from the book. The book had me so emotionally invested & I'm not as invested in the story being told in the movie as I was when I read. & I'm surprised at how well Whoopi Goldberg fits into the role of Celie but it works 🤷‍♀️ #thebookisbetter

I've now read Top 5 of @American Library Association 2018 List of Challenged or Banned Books. Personal Summer Reading Challenge is to read all 11. Also Goodreads Summer Reading Challenge - The Book is Better(although I haven't seen the movie yet). Definitely a window into world I have never experienced. Powerful message that we all just want to be happy and free.📚

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That sounds like a great personal challenge, I think I need to try to incorporate those books into my reading too. 5y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Riveted_Reader_Melissa A lot of them are Children/YA and are fairly quick reads. Completely doable to read all by Banned Books Week in September. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Crinoline_Laphroaig I‘ve only read 1 of them before, and another one is sitting on my TBR pile already. 5y

Thank you @LibrarianRyan for hosting this #RoadTripGiveaway - I hope you and your friend have a great adventure!

My song pick is Carefree Highway by Gordon Lightfoot https://g.co/kgs/c919ci paired with the tagged book. Both are about the highway/road trip as escape from commitments and obligations, and a chance to explore the possibilities "out there" - before it's too late ??????

Wife I ❤️ that song. Now I need to find it on Pandora and 🎶🎵🎶 sing! (Thankfully I am alone because my singing is 🙄🤭🤐) 6y
TiredLibrarian @Wife I spent a lot of time commuting to work & school years ago, and had "Gold's Gold" on audiocassette. Did a lot of in-car singing along to that - no one else to hear, which was for the best! ??? 6y
Dragon Love that song ! 🤗 6y
LibrarianRyan I have not heard Gordon Lightfoot I years! 6y

Why yes, I did bring my leftover movie popcorn home so I could get this shot 😂

The movie is cute but as usual #thebookisbetter. I devoured it in 2 sittings. I would've completed it in 1 if I didn't have to live life. I loved the diversity of the characters & I loved that we got a high school love story from a perspective I never read before. It may be a little too charming & neat, but that's the curse of many romantic tales.
