Book to Movie: I Capture The Castle

The husband was on the road for a week, which gave me some time to catch up on my chick flicks.  Or, romances, as I like to call them.

I ran across I Capture The Castle on Netflix.  And I was totally engrossed.  It completely brought the book to life for me.

A brilliant writer moves his family to a castle in countryside so that he can write his next masterpiece.  The next big thing doesn't happen for him and his family falls into desperate poverty while living in a drafty, cold castle.

Cassandra, the middle child and second daughter, begins to write a journal, which is where our story picks up.  It details day to day life in the castle, the struggles with putting food on the table, dealing with their eccentric father...and finding love.  And, more than love, a marriage proposal to get them out of there!

Grab a glass of wine and cuddle up with the book or the movie.

Book To Movie: Never Let Me Go

This was one of those spellbinding, amazing books.  It is mysterious and dark and full of love and hope.  And loss.  You never really know what is going on until the end.  Clues are slowly collected and when you think you have it...no, it can't be!  Can it?

I'm looking forward to the movie.  From the preview it looks like they captured the book.  But, I guess you never really know until you see it.
