5 ⭐️. Beautiful writing. #mountTBR #manbookerchallenge19

melissajayne Loved the book. 6y

KarenUK One of my favorites 💕 6y

Samplergal @melissajayne The book was so much better than the movie. Why I have waited so long to read it....I‘ve been schlepping that book around for years. 6y

melissajayne @Samplergal I am the same. The movie is excellent, but the book is way better. (edited) 6y

Tamra I am the contrarian here and would say the movie is better. 😏 I think it‘s some of the finest non-verbal acting I‘ve seen! But, to be fair both versions are so, so amazing. 6y

Dragon Love this book! 👍🐉 6y

Samplergal @LapReader yay! 6y

sophierayton I basically did this by myself this year. Excited to have a team to join in the Man Booker enthusiasm with. 6y

sophierayton I don't know how to share this properly I'm afraid but will post the square allowed from the screenshot I took of your post and hope that helps spread the word somewhat. 6y

Samplergal @sophierayton I did too, on Goodreads. I only found one of which I wasn‘t thrilled. Glad you can do it again! 6y

nudibranch I like the Man Booker focus. I've considered doing that, myself. 6y

Samplergal @nudibranch I did it last year too and loved all but one. My tastes in books tend to run that way anyway, so it is pretty easy. Join me. 6y

nudibranch @Samplergal sounds good to me. 🤘 Got a hashtag for it? 6y
