Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind | 
so-soI finally finished this book!!! The story was drugged out. It shouldn't have took me 4 months to read this book. I didn't enjoy this book like I did with Gone with the Wind. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
pan(1991) This was the bestselling novel in the U.S. for 1991 and ... ugh.
I did not like it. But it wasn't likely that I would, since I dislike Gone With the Wind in a way that's hard to describe but "overrated Lost Cause propaganda" scratches the surface. This has less Lost Cause propaganda, but nevertheless fails to be a better book.
(Clearly, I'm not the target audience. So ymmv, etc.)
Dear authors, please don't start your 800-plus-pagers with "This will be over soon ..."
I can tell it's a lie.
so-soGlad to be done with this book. Obviously not as good as the original and wayyyy too long. Scarlett is annoying for a good portion of the book. I did not need all her inner thoughts on every event in the book. Some plot points don‘t get resolved which is just unacceptable for a book of this length.
pickMy mother loved Gone With the Wind. I grew up watching it so often I knew every line. But I never saw the love story in it. I always saw it as sad. This book fixes the things I disliked about Gone With the Wind. Plus half of it takes place in Ireland which makes it a fun read as we approach St. Patrick‘s Day. #ireland #stpatricksday
Spending a quiet afternoon catching up with my reading. #readingbuddy
I put my board together but I decided to start with Scarlett even though it‘s not one of the #bookspin picks this month. Since March is St. Patrick‘s Day month I want to read Scarlett because of the Irish setting. #stpatricksday #imirish #irish
Today's selection for my Little Free Library. I was delighted to see that I've had a new patron who even left a note in my guest book. 📚💗
It‘s official ~ Little Free Library charter # 92014! 📚🔖📖(tagged book is one of the choices available inside)
pickI loved the book Gone with the wind! It was one of my favourites! I have also seen the movie which I really liked. But Scarlett is my favourite...I don't know why but I really liked her more in this book...
Thrift stores are the best places to get books! This lot cost me $22
Has anyone read this? I remember watching the mini-series years ago.

My favorite book character is Scarlett O‘Hara from Gone With The Wind. I just love that spunky girl!

For those who love Gone With the Wind, the sequel (not written by Margaret Mitchell!) is on sale today for $3.99. There are mixed reviews and feelings about this book, but personally, coming from someone whose favorite book is GWTW, I‘ve always really enjoyed this one. It‘s been awhile since my last reread so I‘m happy I stumbled across this!

Happy, Happy Easter, indeed! I'm overjoyed by all the things @Chasing_Pages was kind enough to get me. Wonder Woman, Harry Potter, chocolate, books, need I say more?
Love it all! Thank you and Happy Easter, everyone!

I was one of the winners of the raffle tonight at the event!
Anybody ever go into a thrift store looking for books and find your all time favorite book on the shelf that you already own for super cheap? When that happens to me, I have to buy it. Already read all of these but Scratch Beginnings and own two of them but I couldn't leave them behind.
Look what I found in my apartment's free area! There was also a copy of Gone With the Wind that I picked up until my husband reminded me I already had it. 🤦🏼♀️ This is missing its jacket, but still cool. Also love finding notes like this inside! 💕 I should really start doing this when I gift books.
pickIt's a pick, but it felt way too long. It never felt like a sequel to GWTW. It's an entirely different Scarlett.
It's not GWTW, but it's a quick, entertaining read. I'm enjoying it even though it feels like I'm reading about 2 different people.
I'm going to regret the hell out of this but I can't stop myself.
So I recently discovered that I have 3 copies of Scarlett. One is going to a friend but if anyone would like this paperback copy I will pay to mail it to anyone in the US. Let me know if you're interested in giving this book a new home!
bailedNothing like Gone with the wind!!
panDon't even begin this book.. put it down and walk away.. the film adaptation is just as horrid. I have no idea what Ripley was thinking.
bailedI love Gone With the Wind and I love my little box. The GWTW sequel, Scarlett, is unreadable though. #threwitacrosstheroom #photoadaynov16
pick#Day11 #SomethingForSept I seem to have more red or off white books
panI threw this book across the bookstore it sucked so bad!
