Great book

This book was amazing!!! It had so many books to read, all full length novels. It takes awhile to read it all, for me as I read quite fast it still took me 26 hours to read all of them. Best book set I have ever bought. They were all such good books, by some very good authors.

"I saw this movie at Film Forum when I was in college. I remember watching all three hours of it with my mouth open. It fueled my interest in so many things: monks, bells, medieval Russia, structuring movies and plays like novels . . . I was taking a really dumb screenwriting class at the time, and this contradicted everything I had just been taught."

"For when you need to fall in love The Bridgertons are being turned into their own Netflix series. Julia Quinn is a master of witty banter, romantic tension, and sweet anticipation. Romance novels can be the most delicious mood lifters—and this is one of best of the best. Start with The Duke and I and feast your way through them all."

"David Lean again, in perhaps the best translation of a Dickens novel to the screen, and surely the greatest of Dickens’s novels too. Crisp, brilliantly cast, a flawless rendition of the period, and amazingly faithful to the novel, Great Expectations is the model that every Masterpiece Theater rendition of an English classic strives to emulate, only better, far better than that."

"I totally agree. How could I ever choose between a Matisse and a Vermeer or a Rembrandt and a Hockney—or between this Matisse and that Matisse? And we are different people at different times of our lives, with different tastes. When I was twenty, I loved Dostoyevsky, and now I can hardly get twenty pages into one of his novels."

I read the Secret Circle novels after they announced the television series.
These books are alright, LJ's writing is so intensely readable, I still love it, after all these years.
The reason I think these two books are just ok was because I wasn't really a fan of the main character. If you like LJ Smith, this series is definitely readable.
