I didn't realize it was a book until after I watched the movie, so I'll have to wait a couple years to read it. If I remember it's a book. lol!<br /><br />My co-worker and I were talking about Winter's Bone and we feel that many will think that it's not very real and it's made more dramatic by Hollywood. However, for those of us in Missouri who know what Southern MO is like, we know it's very truthful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182023445485838169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-58752352664892120662011-01-10T12:35:29.991-08:002011-01-10T12:35:29.991-08:00The Margaret Dilloway book was really good.

Harsh reading, though. I just got "The Memory of Love" by Aminatta Forna, another downer - but good. Might need to take a cozy break, however. Actually picked up "The Lute Player" by Norah Lofts (an oldie but goodie historical about Richard III) so may be time to dive into that.<br /><br />Hope Dogs Don't Lie hits the spot for you!Clea Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810838253598050028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-49100404240459896512011-01-10T08:12:43.790-08:002011-01-10T08:12:43.790-08:00I did wonder about Winter's Bone.

A Study in Scarlet is one of the few Sherlock Holmes books I've read -- we have all of them in a collection I bought for my son, who loves 19th-century writing. And, The Girl Who Fell From the Sky is on my wish list. Fun stuff!
