"I am trying to choose works that cover as much ground as possible and are diverse… I’ve heard amazing things about this book from a person that I trust… The musical is currently on Broadway (starring Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Hudson and Danielle Brooks) and a film was made of the book in 1985 by Steven Spielberg. It was Oprah Winfrey’s film debut and introduced Whoopi Goldberg (I love both of these women). I’m excited to read it and maybe do some watching too."

"Steven Soderbergh totally rocks. He is the bravest, smartest, most original filmmaker in the U.S. today. I don’t like all his films, but I not only like but admire most of them; and even in his minor work there is still more genuine love and understanding of cinema than in the most accomplished works of some others. Che, the one movie ever made that seriously deals with military strategy, helped me imagine Carlos on a scale that otherwise would have intimidated me."

A Million Little Things – Susan Mallery

A return to Mischief Bay and a return to why I love Susan Mallery.

I finally had a chance to sit down and read A Million Little Things by Susan Mallery. I haven’t read anything by Susan for a while (was spreading the love to other authors) but I remembered why I love her books so much. While I wait for Secrets of the Tulip Sisters and Happily Inc (I have major Fool’s Gold withdrawal) I sunk my teeth into this story. Having already read The Girls of Mischief Bay and The Friends We Keep I am familiar with the town and its inhabitants. From the first novel Pam and her story, her ups and downs, laughs and sadness moved me. I must say though in this novel she upset me, thoroughly, I was actually surprised by how much. A Million Little Things focuses on Pam, Miguel, Zoe, Steven, Jen, Kirk and Lucas. All their stories intersect and flow together so smoothly and seamlessly it is hard to get confused or lost in keeping up with the story. Steven is Pam’s son so she plays a major part in both his story as well as her own. I wish there would’ve been more detail on her story vs putting her so solidly into Steven’s.

Needless to say, without too many spoilers, A Million Little Things doesn’t disappoint. With cameos and mentions of past characters I remembered why I love all things Susan Mallery. Pick up your copy today and dive right in to their stories.
