I just finished Room. It was so good. I made my H read it so I could discuss it with someone and now I've recommended it to my friends.
I don't have anything up next. Well, I do have The Time Traveller's Daughter audiobook in my car. Edited to say I think it's the Time Keeper's Daughter...Not traveler.
Lol! "Extra time" I'm reading Into Thin Air with my students. It's...okay. I'm not a huge fan of Krakauer personally. Like, I think he's kind of a jerk. But the story is interesting. I'm also in charge of one of the "book club" options that my students will have after we finish ITA. It's a dystopian ya called Legend. I'm not sure how I feel about it. As a teacher, I feel like I spend most of my life reading ya stuff so that I have good recommendations for kids.
ETA I forgot audiobook. H and I are relistening to Harry Potter in the car. Jude loves it!
littlemissgrump I'm full-tilt obsessed with climbing stuff right now. I started following Adventure Consultants on Twitter. My kids think I'm a nerd. They're right. Have you watched Meru?

I'm currently reading The Wedding Dress by Rachel Hauck. Room is the next on my list. After I'm done with Room I'll read The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom.
If you guys wanted to do a book club I would do it. But I couldn't do a full book a week, I'm a good reader but with the pregnancy brain and fatigue my mind is mush.
Those of you who have already read Room, have you watched the movie?
I did. It was pretty good. I mean, it's different because so much of that book is the voice and thoughts of a 5 year old, so the translation to film is inherently different, but I liked it.

I'm reading "Who Censored Roger Rabbit." I read a case about how the author sued Disney and they talked about how different the book is from the Disney movie. I wanted to check it out myself. It's REALLY different.

I haven't watched it yet, I have to wait until SIL finishes it so we can watch it together. I looked up the cast and it seems like they did a gods job matching the characters.

I find a lot of movies butcher the book, but I did find this one stayed true. I enjoyed it and would watch again. Very powerful
Agreed. It was so hard for me to read as a new mom when it was released but so well done. The movie did the book justice IMO.

I don't recall hearing anything about Room, although the cover looks familiar. Added to my reading list. I think this happens every time there is a book thread, now I just need to get back into reading!
gigi3126 I'm obviously not too invested in my audiobook. It's Memory Keeper's Daughter. I hope I got it right this time.
Lol! There's a whole collection of books that have names that sound like that. I get them all mixed up too. I just got excited thinking that there was a follow up to The Time Travelers Wife.
