Betty Blue
Betty Blue: The Story of a Passion | Philippe Djian
3 posts | 3 read
They were predicting storms for the end of the day but the sky stayed blue and the wind died down. I went to take a look in the kitchen - make sure things weren't getting clogged up in the bottom of the pot. Everything was just fine. I went out onto the porch armed with a cold beer and stayed there for a while, my face in the sun. It felt good. It had been a week now that I'd been spending my mornings in the sun, squinting like some happy idiot - a week now since I'd met Betty.'BETTY BLUE remains a cult book and film nearly twenty years since its first outing. The extraordinary story of an erotic, doomed love affair has transfixed hundreds of thousands of readers around the world.

When I was a teen, I was in LOVE with this 80‘s French movie..... the clothes, the music, the tragic love story....
I had no idea it was a novel first! Just picked this translation up on book depository.... I think I‘ll read it for #pop19 for the #abookthatmakesyounostalgic .... What is everyone else reading for this prompt? .....

BridgetteM I decided to read I‘ll Be There for You: The One About Friends for this prompt. It was the only thing I could think of that might fit the prompt. 6y
KarenUK @BridgetteM that‘s such a great idea.... I‘ve been wanting to read that too 👍 (edited) 6y
mcctrish WHAT! This was a book first? The music was so good 6y

Reggie There was this guy I used to hang with and he told me this was his favorite movie. I watched it and realized why we were friends. We both had a thing for foreign movies dealing with doomed love. My favorite movie back then was Non Ti Muovere with the ugliest version of Penelope Cruz you‘ll ever see. It doesn‘t hold up as well now and especially after #metoo. Anyways thanks for the memories. 6y

Djian is a great French writer, novelist, song writer. He has written the words to some of my favourite songs. One of them is 'Déjeuner en paix' #poetry #aprilbookshowers

So I promised myself that I would have to stop buying new books, because I might move out of the country next year. And my TBR pile is more than enough to last me until the end of the year. But then I found this book at a very tempting price and thought, to hell with promises!
