Good morning, Jodie. Are you going to see It Ends with Us? I would love to see it. I saw them both on GBS This Morning, and they also showed the trailer; it looks really good. Have a fantastic day 😊🌻📚

I do want to see this but will wait until it hits Netflix likely later this year. I hope it is true to the book!

Plenty of food for thought. I must check one of these TV shows.

I love the cover for Coming Home to Starr’s Fall. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Happy Monday Jodie!

You too Winnie!
Kathryn Trask
All the best for reading this week. Love the cover of Kate Hewitt, she usually writes book set in U.K. but this cover implies Nth America.

I think so too Kathryn – particularly since it is marketed as giving off Gilmore Girls vibes.

I listened to Newman’s Falling earlier this year and my husband is currently listening to it. It had a summer blockbuster vibe to it and was a fun listen. I have The Wedding People on my TBR.. I love the cover.
I had no idea Bad Monkey was based on a hope to watch it.

Look for my review of Newman’s latest tomorrow Hena!
