Bookworms! It's your friends from Book Who's Talking, here with some Summer reading recommendations (or Christmas present suggestions, your choice).
info_outline Mini Episode - Rebecca CinemaBook Who's Talking
After thoroughly enjoying our book last month, we decided to do a proper movie marathon, with TWO adaptations of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. The 1940 Alfred Hitchcock movie (Best Picture winner, fancy), and the brand new Netflix film starring Lily James, Kristin Scott Thomas, and absolute unit Armie Hammer.

This month we turned on all of the lights and made sure we locked the doors before reading I'm Thinking of Ending Things, the 2016 debut novel of Canadian writer Iain Reid.
info_outline*** SPOILERS AHEAD*** Please only listen if you have watched the series, or if you really don't mind knowing everything that happens, including where the Penthouse magazine is hidden.
Even though only one of us has read the book (hi, Fiona), all four of us jumped on the Hello Sunshine train to watch the screen adaptation of Little Fires Everywhere, starring Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon.
This super binge-worthy series deals with lots of heavy subject matter, including racial discrimination, class and privilege, and also features our collective boyfriend Joshua Jackson in slightly-too-big white underpants. Just saying.
So give it a watch, then give us a listen, find out how the show is (really quite) different to the book, and let us know what you think.
Happy watching!
