    The Light Between Oceans – Book vs. Movie

    April 26, 2017 /

    The Light Between Oceans came out in the movie theaters in the fall and the book was published in 2012, but I just got around to reading the novel and watching the movie. I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie and didn’t have time back in the fall. I had heard that the movie was really sad so that made me hesitant to read the book because I wasn’t really in the mood to read a sad story. But I decided to go ahead and read it. Let’s start with a brief synopsis. Tom Sherbourne is a World War I veteran who has recently taken on a…

    “Me Before You” Book, Movie, & Thoughts

    September 12, 2016 /

    Me Before You, a novel by Jojo Moyes was published four years ago and was made into a movie this year starring Emilia Clarke (queen of all our hearts on  Game of Thrones) and Sam Claflin (charming heartthrob from The Hunger Games and Love, Rosie). I wanted to read the book before I watched the movie and now that I’ve read the book and watched the movie I’m finally getting around to writing up my comparison and some other deep thoughts I’ve had about the story. So to briefly give you a synopsis of the storyline if you’re unfamiliar with it, the story is narrated by a mid-20s woman named Louisa (Lou for short).…

    “Atonement” Book vs. Movie

    April 4, 2016 /

    Ian McEwan’s 2001 novel, Atonement, tells the story of thirteen year old Briony Tallis – a young British girl who with one false accusation completely dismantles lives and the relationship between her older sister Cecilia and the love of her life, Robbie. I’ll try my best to not give any spoilers if you haven’t read or watched the movie. This post will mostly focus on comparing the book and movie. I won’t lie, the first time I heard of the novel was when the movie came out in 2007, which I didn’t see. I only recently read the novel because I was teaching the novel in my AP Literature class. I read…

    The Martian: Book vs. Movie

    October 10, 2015 /

    Last weekend I went to see “The Martian” after having finished the book 24 hours earlier. I should probably preface this by apologizing for this lengthy post! Anyway, here we go. Many movies are based off of books and as we all know, there are often many changes made when it debuts on screen to make it more movie friendly or because the powers that be believe certain changes are necessary. Sometimes, they’re right – some aspects of a book wouldn’t work well on screen. Sometimes I can’t understand at all why they would make certain changes. For example, I absolutely hated the screen adaptation of “P.S. I Love You”. The book was…

I was sent an early copy of Once in a Lifetime by I was sent an early copy of Once in a Lifetime by @suzannemattaboni80s months ago and I did a highlight post on it back then, but I finally read it this week and loved it! 📖The novel takes places in New Hope, PA (just across the river from NJ) in 1984. Jessica, a mixed media art student, is spending the summer there with her 3 best friends and roommates, waitressing, and trying to save money to study abroad ✈️ . This coming of age novel was a fun and realistic read about punk rock loving girls with big dreams as they navigate life and love in their early 20s 🎶💗. I was hooked on the story the whole time and really enjoyed it! My full review is on the blog ✨📚

I loved You Deserve Each Other 💖. It’s going I loved You Deserve Each Other 💖. It’s going to be one of those books that sticks with me for a while 📖. Naomi and Nicholas are engaged, but can barely stand each other these days. Naomi doesn’t think she can go through with the marriage, but she’s broke and thanks to a meddling future mother-in-law whoever breaks off the engagement has to foot the non-refundable bill 💍. Naomi comes to realize that all the annoying things Nicholas has been doing lately are to purposely get under her skin. Now it’s game on and the two pull pranks on each other in an attempt to drive the other to be the one to end things. But all this extra time together trying to bring each other down might just bring them closer together 💕. 

This book was so funny that I actually laughed out loud while reading 😂. It also had really touching moments and I was rooting for Naomi and Nicholas the whole time. I loved them and overall it was just such a good story! My full review is on the blog ✨📚
