squirrelbrain I think I‘m expecting more of a creepy, looking-over-your-shoulder read.... @Cinfhen 7y

SledgeReader @Cinfhen @squirrelbrain I agree with both of you! I‘ve got the feeling the hype letdown will be similar to Lady Chatterly‘s Lover. I guess I was expecting 50 Shades on that one! 😂 The prologue in my books cautions to read slowly and mindfully so not to miss the complexity of the novel. I am optimistic! This makes me want to read Peyton Place and Valley of the Dolls (NYTBS #1 on the day I was born!) Gotta get the hype! 7y

Cinfhen I think im anticipating dark comedy, maybe?? I recently read VOD and loved it @SledgeReader it‘s a total throwback and super campy!!! I‘m expecting the same sort of vibes from Stepford @squirrelbrain (edited) 7y

CoffeeAndABook Not exactly horror but definitely creepy & maybe one or two armhair-raising moments 😅 Are we starting to read anytime now or is it a buddy read where we all start together?? Looking forward to this 👏🏻👗👠👛🎀🛍 7y

Cinfhen It‘s sort of an informal #BuddyRead @CoffeeAndABook especially since the book is only 128 pages! I‘m reading it now in anticipation for next week and to be able to better facilitate questions & discussions. I won‘t start posting those until the 21 but feel free to begin reading whenever u like😊 7y

CoffeeAndABook Sounds perfect 👌🏼 I‘ve downloaded it as an ebook so I wasn‘t aware of how short it is!! Well - all the better as I‘ll be watching crazy amounts of soccer ⚽️beginning... well theoretically yesterday, but actually today!! 😜 But I‘ll definitely find time to read our book & also come up with a party kit 🎉 🥂 7y

Mdargusch I read the introduction last night and now I‘m very afraid my old brain won‘t catch the complexities 😳. I only picture Nicole Kidman in that weird movie. I‘m with you, @SledgeReader , I think I need to read Peyton Place next. 7y

batsy I think I'm expecting something like satirical or campy horror. I've not watched the movie adaptations. I've just sort of absorbed some pop culture knowledge about it, but have no idea what I'm in for. Exciting :) 7y

Cinfhen I skipped the intro @Mdargusch it was hurting my old brain too 😂😂maybe I‘ll get back to it 7y

Cinfhen Enjoy the #WorldCup ~ are you rooting for Germany?!!! @CoffeeAndABook ⚽️🏆 7y

Cathythoughts I did see the movie many moons ago ... @Mdargusch yes “ weird “ is the word for it. Have ye already started???!! I might take a break from Wolf Hall & start too ..... 🎉excited 7y

Pamwurtzler If you do watch the movie, the first one is way better that the second one. I‘m not sure I‘ve ever read the book - if I have it was long ago. I‘m looking forward to this! 7y

Cathythoughts I‘m loving SK ‘s comment on this book : “ Levin is the Swiss watchmaker of the suspense novel “ .... there‘s a mind twister 🌪 ... the book already sounds way different from the movie 😱 (edited) 7y

CarolynM I'm like @batsy my knowledge of it is secondhand. I've not had any success finding a copy of the book yet, will keep hunting. 7y

CoffeeAndABook Thanks @Cinfhen !! Yes, since the USA‘s team isn‘t qualified I don‘t have a conflict of interest. But I seriously doubt the German team posses the determination necessary to win now that they‘ve held the #worldcup for four years. We‘ll see though, won‘t we!! My other secret love is for Iceland 💓 Are you into soccer?? 7y

Cinfhen I‘m not really a fan @CoffeeAndABook but man are the players HOT🔥🔥🔥 I can look at them all day long 😍😂 (edited) 7y

Cinfhen I feel bad u can‘t find a copy @CarolynM I‘m sure there might be a free copy floating out in the cloud!! 7y

CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen 😂😂😂 Love that!!! And here I‘ve been laboring at convincing my husband for years that I AM NOT watching soccer because of the sizzlin‘ eye candy 🍭 😉😉😉 To be honest, I don‘t find ALL of them hot, but the Spanish, Brazilian & Icelandic teams are pretty easy on the eyes 😇 7y

Cinfhen When it comes to #HotGuyFactor I think soccer rules 🥇🏆 @CoffeeAndABook (edited) 7y

GripLitGrl I'm gonna start this one tomorrow. Thinking maybe more sci-fi. Im curious to see how much diffrent the book is to the movie. Looking forward to reading this one👍 7y

Cinfhen Now that I read the book I‘d like to compare it to the original film @GripLitGrl hope u enjoy the read😊I found it “entertaining” 7y

CouronneDhiver Ha! #HotGuyFactor - indeed! @Cinfhen 7y

Cinfhen #keepingitreal @CouronneDhiver ‼️ 7y

Reviewsbylola I am hoping mine has been delivered since I‘ve been gone. 7y

asiriusreader Excited for this! I saw the Nicole Kidman movie a long time ago...not a great film! Hoping it‘s more creepy and twisty than true horror! 7y

CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen @CouronneDhiver Am watching Spain vs. Portugal right now & am quite enjoying the amazing soccer as well as the #HotGuyFactor 😇🍭⚽️😜 (edited) 7y

readinginthedark I don't really know what to expect except maybe the same patriarchal creepiness that you get from some dystopian books at the beginning! I think I'll like it! 7y

SledgeReader @Cinfhen I‘m ALL about some soccer players!!!⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ 7y

DebinHawaii I'm glad I downloaded it since my print copy hasn't arrived yet.😬 I've seen both films but haven't tried reading it before so I'm looking forward to it. 👍📚 7y

mabell I found a copy, so I'm going to try to join in! 😁 I've only seen the recent version - pretty creepy. I'm a little nervous what to expect! 😬 (edited) 7y

Mdargusch I started last night @Cathythoughts and now every word I read I think about twice to make sure there‘s not another meaning. 😳 7y

Bookzombie I have read it before, but I‘m looking forward to the reread. It‘s been a while since I saw the original movie, but it‘s the one I would recommend. 7y

Cinfhen Great @mabell 🤗🤗welcome to the party 🎉💕🎉 7y

Cathythoughts @Mdargusch the book ! it‘s sooo good. I googled the original movie ( I only saw the Nicole Kidman one , which I can‘t even remember) the original was in 1975 ! Looks great , really creepy , very atmospheric- terrifying. Book is brilliant, I think. It‘s so much better than the movie I saw ! Would love to watch the ‘75 movie on a proper screen 7y

Cathythoughts @SledgeReader would Peyton Place be good read ?? ! 7y

Cinfhen I want to read Peyton Place @Cathythoughts maybe in the fall 😊 7y

Cathythoughts @Cinfhen yes! Great 👍🏻 7y

SledgeReader @Cathythoughts @Cinfhen Yay! I‘d love to read it together!! 7y

BluestockingDuchess I have this book! 7y

Cinfhen So join the party @GeorgiaPeach 💕😄 I posted a “reading schedule” just look for #stepfordSummerParty 🎉no pressure 7y

BluestockingDuchess @Cinfhen yes I think I am in! 7y

Cinfhen Great @GeorgiaPeach I‘ll save you a seat 😉 7y
