Booking Through Thursday -- 28 April 2011


If you could see one book turned into the perfect movie -- one that would capture everything you love -- the characters, the look, the feel, the story -- what book would you choose?


While there are several recent reads that I could see made into movies, the one that I would really love to see as a movie is In the Company of Others by Jan Karon.   Since it is set in Ireland, I could see the scenery being gorgeous, the story would make a great mystery and the characters have been strong yet lovable since the very first Mitford book.  In fact, if I had my way, the original Mitford series would make a really fun mini-series.

I have never read any book by Jan Karon, although I've heard wonderful things about the Mitford books. Anything set in Ireland would have to make a lovely film.
