Today is Someday Bookworms discussion

For those of you who have finished the book, what are your thoughts on the book?

And how many of you have seen the movie (on Apple+)? Did you think the movie was a good representation of the book?

I enjoyed this book. It was an interesting perspective on a 1960s career. Very unique character.

I have read the book and watched the movie and enjoyed both. The movie was a bit disappointing but still fun. I look forward to our discussion about this book on April 30th at 7 pm EST.

I read Lessons in Chemistry a couple months ago and enjoyed it. The character Elizabeth reminds me of the Temperance Brennan role in Bones; focused, driven and socially awkward.

A movie? wow did not know. Will have to explore,
Good book did not make my top 5 of the past year. BTW I am still reading One for the Blackbirds one for the Crow, on kindle so good!
Reading seems to take soooo much more time then audible.

I agree, Janet! Sitting down to read a hard copy always takes me longer. It helps that I can speed up the audible which I always do!

This was a fun read. Although, I am not really sure about the dog. I was able to deal with him if I viewed him as a narrator but that was a bit strange.

I love that Elizabeth did not change who she was for anyone. I loved that about her! And of course she is a quirky nerd just like me!

I enjoyed the audible of this book. I watched the mini series, and I have to say I was disappointed. The actors were very good, but some of the embellishments away from the book were poor choices I felt. just my thoughts on it.

I was talking about All The Lights We Cannot See. The book I am currently reading is The Women.

A lot of people have said that about the series. I haven't seen it yet but I probably will eventually.

Stacy, I have never thought of you as a quirky nerd, a spit fire yes! Nerd NO!

I finished the book today. I had not listed to an audiobook in some time, so this was a nice change.

First I want to say, that I am glad that we have progressed in a lot of ways toward women in the workplace. There is still room for improvement, but good to see.

There were some little idiosyncrasies that carried through that were thoughtful. How 6:30 gave each person their own timed name. How Elizabeth was never without a No. 2 pencil. How the narrator annunciated on Elizabeth's behalf, "Good, God"!

I could see where they could move forward with a TV show. It would be interesting to see how it compares. In all, a good read/listen!

So glad you enjoyed it! I thought it a fun read as well!

This book is a delight on audible. Not quite finished but getting there. Agree we have come so far. Still need improvement. I have recommended this book to several friends. Good selection.

Angela, so glad you enjoyed it!
