I've read six so far! I've been bad at trying to keep track of reading. So thanks for the check in post!
Well done! Yeah, I like the check--ins too. I think it helps with accountability, which I need. lol
DeletePhantoms! I read that over 30 years ago. Loved it. It has stayed with me even after all these years. What did you think?
I really liked it! It was old school. Also, I didn't realize there was a movie back in the late 90s with Ben Affleck and Liev Schreiber! What?! Had to watch it right after I read the book. So cheesy but cheesy in a way I got behind cuz of 90s nostalgia and all that! Did you ever see it?
DeleteSaw the movie at the theater when it first came out. My ex-husband and I had just started dating around that time and I think it was one of the first movies we saw together. I really liked it. I've actually watched it several times over the years. Just a great story.
DeleteSorry, I'm old. Had the wrong year. We met in 1994, not 1998. We got married in 1998. But we did see it together at the theater. lol
