Quick Book Recs...

 

When In Rome by Sarah Adams

Adams has written yet another captivating romance. She's fast becoming one of my favorite romance authors. In this book, I loved her nod to the classic movie Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. And the humor, sweet chemistry, and banter between Amelia and grumpy Noah totally made me smile. I loved this one!









Still Life by Louise Penny

Well, I finally got around to reading this first Armand Gamache mystery, and I loved it. The residents of Three Pines are uniquely fun and Gamache is such a likable detective. I look forward to reading more books in this appealing series. 







Happy Reading!

  11. I have had Still Life on my TBR shelf for quite some time. I am glad to see you liked it! When in Rome sounds like something I would really enjoy. And now you've put me in the mood to re-watch Roman Holiday!

    1. I love Roman Holiday! It's such a cute movie. And this book was equally fun, but with a happier ending. :D

  12. Still Life was a really great kick-off to the Gamache series. Have you watched the new Amazon series based on the books? Apparently they are going to do four books, each two episodes long. In the first one that's been aired, Gamache is a stranger to Three Pines and its citizens. Very strange to see the characters brought to life; some work well for me, others I'm not too sure I'm going to ever be comfortable with.

    1. Hi, Sam! It's always hard when they make a movie or TV series about your favorite books...because they don't always cast my favorite characters the way I would have, or the way that I see them in my head. I haven't watched any of the new Amazon series based on these books; I think I'd like to read a few more of them first. :D

  13. I'm looking forward to Louise Penny's new one, just out.

  14. I do like books that cleverly reference classic films. Adriana Trigiani is good at this!
