I've got it on my library list and will read it later this year, I'm sure. The Lily Tuck books sounds very good, so I'll see if I can borrow those from the library, as well. My husband and I want to see The Post, but will wait for it to come out on DVD. I love Hanks and Streep and bet they are great in their roles! I read Before I Go to Sleep when it first came out and thought it was very good. A friend saw the movie and said don't waste your time, so I never did see it. You've confirmed my decision to skip it. :) <br /><br />I hope you're having a good week, Diane!Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-3408668457913251542018-02-01T11:39:41.272-05:002018-02-01T11:39:41.272-05:00Oh, yes, I can't imagine how these poor victim...Oh, yes, I can't imagine how these poor victims coped with losing everything.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-91767306208916440872018-02-01T11:38:00.434-05:002018-02-01T11:38:00.434-05:00Glad you enjoyed The Post Laurel, so appropriate t...Glad you enjoyed The Post Laurel, so appropriate to today.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-52000966344935277522018-01-29T11:34:29.732-05:002018-01-29T11:34:29.732-05:00I have a copy of An American Marriage.

An American Marriage especially sounds good. I haven't seen the movie, Before I Go To Sleep, but I enjoyed the book. I had planned to see the movie after finishing the book, but kind of lost interest in the idea. Sounds like I am not missing out.
