Okay, MLB playoffs start today. If the Royals lose I read ten pages of the Foote. If they win I do five of V. Fun way to channel my emotions.

Susanita Dramatic game! 2mo

#TLT #ThreeListThursday

1. Field of Dreams
2. Killing Eve (TV show, but SO much better than the book)
3. The Notebook

@dabbe

Karkar Oh I liked the notebook movie ending wayyyyy better than the book. 8mo
Billypar I loved Killing Eve! I haven't watched/read the others, but I heard the same opinion about The Notebook. No idea Field of Dreams was a book. 8mo
dabbe TV shows count, too! 🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for sharing. 💚🩷💚 8mo
TheBookHippie Agree about The Notebook! 8mo

We're back with one of our favorite episodes, the author fantasy baseball draft! Back from his win last year, author Sam Ernst joins us for an extra long episode. New this year, we each pick multiple teams, drawing from specific genres or regions. Listen to find out who gets drafted to the Sci-Fi team, or Literary Fiction Team and tons more. We hope you enjoy!

New Patreon episode just posted! We begin this week with a depressing discussion on censoring books and then move into picking a few baseball books to read over the season.

We end the episode with everybody's favorite book club, Thriller Corner! This time around we are picking a “whodunit.“

Bklover Couldn‘t get your link to work, but I wanted to welcome you to #LitsyLove! I haven‘t traveled much, but I still think the farm fields of southern Illinois in the US are the most beautiful places on earth. 😉😊 2y
dabbe @Bklover Stupid me forgot to make the link public. #duh I have never been to southern Illinois. It sounds heavenly, maybe similar to the corn fields in Iowa? #fieldofdreams 😊 Thanks for the #LitsyLove, too! I'm excited to be a wee part of such a phenomenal group! 🤗 2y
Bklover Definitely similar to corn fields in Iowa! (A lot of people find it flat and boring.) 2y

"If you build it…" #OnThisDay in 1989 Field of Dreams held its premiere screening. Listen, I know this amounts to the bookish version of near-blasphemy, but I'll say it - sometimes the movie IS better. And for me Field of Dreams > Shoeless Joe. And James Earl Jones' Terrence Mann >>> the fictional J.D. Salinger. Kinsella liked the name change as "The Dream Field" was one working title, but found the process a "colossal boredom". #HistoryGetsLIT

vivastory I agree. Sometimes (not often) the movie is def better. I'd say this is 100% true of Jaws & I actually like Fight Club movie as much as the book. 3y
Ruthiella There are a few that fit that rare “movie was better” category, IMO too. I‘ve not read Field of Dreams, but I have both seen and read Jaws and The Godfather and in those two instances found the film version of the books to be superior! 3y
TheKidUpstairs @vivastory @Ruthiella so interesting that you both mention Jaws. I'd never really had an itch to read it, but now it really doesn't feel necessary! The other book-to-screen I think of is Killing Eve, the tv show is vastly superior IMO (but it was interesting to read the first book to catch the glimpses of what Phoebe Waller-Bridge used to create a great show out of a middling book. 3y
Alfoster My husband can practically recite this movie line-by-line!😱🤣 3y
vivastory @TheKidUpstairs Completely agree with you on Killing Eve👍 3y

It‘s #TravelTuesday

I‘ve read a few books set in Iowa- Shoeless Joe (the movie was better 😱), Kitchens of the Great Midwest, and Little Heathens.

I‘ve never been to Iowa but have always wanted to visit The Field of Dreams field.

megnews It‘s not often that the movie‘s better! 3y
IamIamIam I was shocked by how much I loved Kitchens of the Great Midwest!!! 🥰 3y
melissajayne Met Kinsella before his death at a book reading in Chilliwack, BC; maybe about a week before his death. 2y
