Kristie | 5911 comments Our winning theme for November is "The book was better." Please nominate a book that you would like to read and discuss with the group which was made into a movie, but the book was better.

* Our rules for general nominations also apply to this thread.
* You can nominate one book in each thread: general nominations and themed nomination

My friend just picked this up at a book sale and has been raving about it! I'm very interested to read it.

I just watched I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I was SOOO disappointed! I loved the book.

Lexi (lexi_liese) | 136 comments My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but I remember a lot of people were upset when the movie came out, because it didn't live up to the book.


message 8: by Sam (new)

Sam Kalahar (samraetom) The Book Thief...

But I agree with the sentiment on My Sister's Keeper.

Hannah, we are only allowed one nomination per month in each thread (general nominations and themed nominations). Which would you prefer I'm Thinking of Ending Things or Misery?

Amy you stated that you'd like to 'vote' for I'm Thinking of Ending Things. Would you like me to add that as your nomination, if it isn't Hannah's first choice?

I certainly don't mind adding them both if Hannah wants Misery and Amy wants I'm Thinking of Ending Things.

The movie didn't follow the book and the book was definitely better because you knew what the characters were thinking/feeling.
