I’m currently finishing Where The Crawdads Sing as I’d like to watch the movie; I’d definitely like to check out some more book adaptions on TV and film!

I hope that the film adaptation gives the vibe that the book did. Thanks for reading Molly!

Ooh I love this! I hadn’t heard of Bet On It before so I’m adding it to my TBR now. Where The Crawdads Sing is on my list too but I didn’t realise the adapation was coming out so soon – I’ll have to bump it up my list! Thank you so much for sharing.

I love this informative post! I have Sugar and Salt, but haven’t got to it yet. I want to watch Where the Crawdads Sing, but will see if it goes to streaming, and I’m not a fan of movie theaters. I’ll have to try to watch Persuasion when I get back from my trip.
