So I listened to the audio book for this because I don't actually have the physical book and my library has it online that way. This was a dramatization of the book, more like a radio play than anything, and I really enjoyed it! It was like watching a full production while I was painting!

I have obvivously seen the movies quite a few times and I feel that they tie in very well together. There were a few things I did not recognize. I think a lot was left out, at least in the prose sections, not the dialogue, so I will go back and hopefully read this when I actually have the book. It has been something I have been wanting to do for a while. I did think that the audio book would be more like a traditional one, but this was the only one the library had, so there we go.

I am going to read the other two as soon as they become available!

I was semi-offered a job offer today. The only problem is that it's a lateral move and I wouldn't get a raise... There's also a lot of drama and fighting factions in that division.
Should I take the job without a raise? With the possibility of 10x more drama?

Doesn't sound too appealing.

No I'd agree, it really doesn't sound like it would be a good move. Unless you think you've got absolutely no choice & your current position is at risk, it sounds like it may be better to stay put.

"… But I knew I should pick out a book book as well, so I grabbed the Thomas Hardy to balance it out. I remember trying to read it, highlighting all the words I didn’t understand. I gave it another crack a decade or so later and found it engrossing. Like a soap opera with sheep. Turns out there were woodland creatures in that one too."

What a book. I had no idea it was the start to a series, but what a cliff-hanger ending. I can't wait to get the second book.

I listened to a few of these on a long road trip. Very easy to zone out with this. I was having a hard time getting into it.

What a quick awesome read. I had to read four chapters of it for a class while substitute teaching. During my prep and right after school I read the rest of the book. I laughed and I cried. Amazing!

Honestly, I didn't like the ending to this series. It was almost like I was reading a book from a different storyline. It was, "okay," overall, but I wasn't in love with the ending like I thought I'd be.

"Not only do I enjoy reading her books, but I am always thinking of how I could produce her stories as a movie for the Hallmark Channel. I am always looking for a good, sweet story and this fits!"

Track

"“Nothing’s gonna harm you/ Not while I’m around” — it’s the purest lyric, I think, in any musical. I found it moving as a teenager when I first heard it; I find it even more moving now as a parent."
