Category: Books and NOT COOL Stuff

I am in complete awe of RBG!!!

I asked my Mom to pick up this book for me yesterday. As she brought it to me, told me that she didn’t understand why I was reading it after I have already seen the movie. I told her that the book is ALWAYS better than the movie! I’m 20 pages in right now and I can already see that it will be!

I originally started reading this book March 24, 2018 after the Facebook friend posted an article that talked about this book. I’m not sure why I stopped reading it but I did. I just started re-reading it this morning and I am ashamed that I did not finish before! But we’ll see if I can do it now!

First off, I just want to say that my Mom is super cool and has her finger on the pulse of contemporary hits! She was watching a movie at her house on Netflix and when she got to my house, she wanted to finish the ending of the movie. I wasn’t paying attention to the movie she was watching but then this video showed up in my YouTube feed that night:

I thought, “Oh, hey, that’s the movie my Mom was watching!” I really dug the interview and once I heard that it was based on a book, that immediately got my attention! I looked up the book on Amazon and it was fairly cheap so, OF COURSE I had to get it! After I am finished reading the book, I will have to watch the movie so my Mom and I can discuss it. It has subtitles so I can’t watch it on my TV in my living room but rather I will need to watch it on my phone so I can keep it close to my face to be able to see and read the subtitles. I remember having to do that for my Dad as his vision was fading and my son does it for me now.

I just finished this book and I’m glad that I read it! Now, I can watch the Netflix movie of the same name so my Mom and I can have something to talk about.

The other day, I was ordering soap on Amazon ( I have to have my Shea butter bar soap!) and for some reason, I happened across this book. I dug the title so I ordered it! It was discounted because it came out in 2016 but I’m thinking that gratitude is gratitude and whenever you have it, it’s good! So is the book this far!

I saw this Netflix movie a while ago and I can already say that the book is different than the movie (It always is!). I still have to decide if the different is better or not. Time will tell.

This day was also the, “Naiden voyage” of my new bookmark from my Mom!

I spent the whole day reading and ignoring the green, leopard print splotches in order to finish this book! I would definitely recommend this to everyone! It’s a good flick on Netflix even though it’s different from the book.
