Can’t wait to hear what you’ve come up with Diane!…the beach always inspires, right? I think the footprint is convex…it just doesn’t seem to me like it’s embedded in the sand…so, how did they do it?…not it’s driving me crazy too! (-:
Brenda, with your hectic schedule I don’t know how you do it but am so happy you do find the time to read for pleasure…BLUE BISTRO was a fav of mine from Hilderbrand and I’ll probably re-read it also.
I admire you guys for re-reading books. That’s just something I can’t do. There are just way too many new books out there for me to read. I have loads of friends that re-read books though.
Anyone going to see the movie Nights at Rodanthe this weekend? That’s Nicholas Sparks book turned movie. I hope they do a better job than they did with The Notebook movie. The Notebook is one of my all time favorite books and I didn’t care for the movie.
We’re leaving the beach this morning, as soon as this nor’easter lets up a little. It’s been blowing this house-on-stilts around all night long. I’ve never been at the NC coast during a major storm and I have to say, all the characters I’ve created who live on the barrier islands are CRAZY!
Gina, I agree that THE NOTEBOOK was a far better book than the movie…same with MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE. From the previews it almost looks like the movie NIGHTS IN RODANTHE might be BETTER than the book!…after all, how can anyone go wrong with Richard Gere! (-:
Gina, I’m like you…I don’t reread books. I always have so many waiting to be read that I don’t have time to reread any.
Diane, have a safe trip home! Now you *really* have a good feel for all of those characters who weather the storms in those houses. Lol!
I want to see the movie but might have company this weekend to celebrate a birthday-yours truly…(family)…
As to rereading-if I don’t reread all of Diane’s each year, I feel lost…she is my security blanket.
Margo-email me about Blue Bistro-I have questions.
I think the two main characters should be great in the movie…What was the movie (book by N. Sparks) that had Paul Newman?
Also-one of my students who is just finishing Before the Storm for her report due on Wed. (not a book report-she is answering high level questions) told the class today, “THIS SHOULD BE A MOVIE!!!!!!”
Way to go Diane…I truly know that this book of Diane’s is a crossover book…generations…
I am now reading Secret life of CeeCee Wilkes. Is there a sequel to this? I heard it was Beautiful Lie, but I cannot find it anywhere. Thank you. Dianna
Dianna, welcome to the blog. I’m so glad you enjoyed CeeCee! I’m afraid there is no sequel, though. (A Beautiful Lie is the title of the same book in Australia).
Brenda, I love that your students can relate to Before the Storm. I hope the student who thinks it should be a movie knows a producer! LOL.
Yay for new ideas Diane! You go girl! Can’t wait to hear more about it.

You go, girl!
Margo-am reading BLUE Bistro again-library finally got it for me-I read it while I was in Florida.
Good Luck Diane…I am excited too.

No, Dianna, there isn’t a sequel to CeeCee but I sure wish there would be (hint hint, Diane…).
Brenda, I sent you an e-mail about BLUE BISTRO…let me know your questions. Paul Newman was the father of Kevin Costner in MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE.
