It makes me think of <i>Stroke of Insight</i> from a few years ago.<br /><br />That's funny about Emperor's Children! I'll have to proceed with a due grain-of-salt. <br /><br />LW - yes, I thought so too.<br /><br />Lee - that's good to hear! I'm quite looking forward to it.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902263795120479801.post-19821454707240011662012-04-05T23:35:43.971-04:002012-04-05T23:35:43.971-04:00The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is one of my fav...The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is one of my favorites memoirs.

I finally saw the film last year and I really enjoyed it.<br /><br />I've owned The Emperor's Children for a long time now but I've been hesitant about starting it because it received some really bad reviews, and it has one of lowest scores on Goodreads that I've seen. But something prevents me from giving it away until I've tried it and come to my own conclusions about it. The premise sounds like something I'd really enjoy.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554159799948830921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902263795120479801.post-77741178296313936342012-04-05T11:23:59.628-04:002012-04-05T11:23:59.628-04:00The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is so good!

I actually prefer the film veeery slightly, but the book is very good too, albeit a little heartbreaking.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902263795120479801.post-65218156407504854622012-04-05T09:20:17.188-04:002012-04-05T09:20:17.188-04:00Beth - haha 'Scoring a Stash' - I like tha...Beth - haha 'Scoring a Stash' - I like that!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902263795120479801.post-66219058706848166492012-04-05T08:44:38.925-04:002012-04-05T08:44:38.925-04:00I’m sure there are many others but I don’t know an...I’m sure there are many others but I don’t know anyone other than you and I who take such delight in “scoring a stash” from a used book store – and write about it.

I just looked back at my review of WiW and see that I had some issues with it that I had totally forgotten about, which is funny since I seem to remember quite liking it. Must have been an off day. Anyway, if Moonstone is a straightforward detective story then I'm all for it.<br /><br />Dinae - I know, right?! Seven books for $5. is pretty cool.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902263795120479801.post-52118542000421759712012-04-05T06:47:50.779-04:002012-04-05T06:47:50.779-04:00Who can resist a bargain, and especially with grea...Who can resist a bargain, and especially with great title like these.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902263795120479801.post-17750316220841404922012-04-05T06:22:25.637-04:002012-04-05T06:22:25.637-04:00Ah, I loved the Moonstone!

It's different from The Woman in White, more of a straightforward detective story, but still of course awesome :)<br /><br />I've not read The Diving Bell & The Butterfly but I have seen the film and the story was very touching.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.com
