Book to Movie: Safe Haven

-
Nicholas Sparks is one of my friends' favorite authors. Name any book of his and she's read it. She was more than excited when The Lucky One became a movie, so when Safe Haven became a movie she was ten times happier. I have The Lucky One waiting on my bookshelf to be read and I was told (actually, demanded) to read Safe Haven. I haven't yet, but now since I've seen the movie, I really should. Like all of Nicholas Sparks' books, the movie Safe Haven was more action than romance that had one of my other friends sobbing (she had read the book as well and knew what was going to happen) even though the movie wasn't sad or tear-wrenching, AT ALL. It was more of a heart-pounding, what-will-happen-next? sort of deal. Anywho, later I came to realize that although the book covers are different...













The movie posters are basically the same...













Well played, film industry. Well played. Either way, if you haven't seen Safe Haven yet I strongly recommend you do. It's not one of those gaggy-lovey-dovey movies that I don't like (sorry if you do). In fact, it's better than one like that. Plus, Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough make it even better. Not because I idol them or anything like that...

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly post that highlights books we are excited to read hosted by Jill from Breaking The Spine. Title: Take A Bow   Author:  Elizabeth Eulberg Synopsis: From the fantastic author of The Lonely Hearts Club and Prom & Prejudice comes a story of all the drama and comedy of four friends who grow into themselves at a performing arts high school.

For Sophie, a singer, it's been great to be friends with Emme, who composes songs for her, and to date Carter, soap opera heartthrob who gets plenty of press coverage. Emme and Ethan have been in a band together through all four years of school, but wonder if they could be more than just friends and bandmates.

Stacking the Shelves (9)

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews .  It's all about sharing books you've added to your shelves be it physical or virtual.  This means you can include books you buy in a  physical store, or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks. This week, I've added five books to my shelf! The first two books were given to me by a coworker after she saw how much I read during my lunch break!  Both are more outside of my typical realm of books, so I'm excited to give them a try!  The last three I received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.  The Home Front was released on January 26, 2021,  Playing with Fire was released on January 19, 2021 and The Woman with the Blue Star is set to be released in May 2021.
