Have only read The Moonstone and Woman in White, but will definitely read another from my Classics Club list.<br /><br />Jojo Moyes is not great literature, but I love the way she tells a story. Have enjoyed several of her books and will eventually work my way through her backlist<br /><br />So... as long as Paul McCartney was with Wings, that must make it a newer song. I like that reasoning! <br /><br />Poodles are the best (aside from greyhounds) and you really must watch Midnight in Paris!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-83661295457882888142014-06-30T20:21:38.218-04:002014-06-30T20:21:38.218-04:00Katherine - Between The Moonstone and Midnight in ...Katherine - Between The Moonstone and Midnight in Paris, you have two fun "M" things to look forward to ;-)JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-76807446567487235422014-06-30T20:20:12.289-04:002014-06-30T20:20:12.289-04:00Sam - Those are the only two Collins novels I'...Sam - Those are the only two Collins novels I've read, but I hope to read either No Name or Armadale for my Classics Club list.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-52611547927671315512014-06-30T20:18:47.196-04:002014-06-30T20:18:47.196-04:00Andi - I just know I'll have to watch it again...Andi - I just know I'll have to watch it again for Paris in July!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-79188632769008628812014-06-30T20:18:19.454-04:002014-06-30T20:18:19.454-04:00Sandy - I love With a Little Luck, too!
