That book had so much against it from the start. I'm sure the writing was great but some stories- especially ones with such unforgettable characters like Rhett and Scarlett should never be recreated. As for what I would like to see continued- the family in Little Miss Sunshine.

Hang out with his new friend? <br /><br />And yes, I do enjoy connected books whether it's through family ties or the town or even a murder mystery plot. I think that Harlequin Heartwarming is a good fit for this.Syndi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749555878197507030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-20362560967720781412013-02-06T17:01:48.876-08:002013-02-06T17:01:48.876-08:00RubyAlison, thanks for the book suggestion.

Readers want to see those characters again, even in a subordinate position to another romance. But I've always thought it awful that another writer can pick up Jane Austen's work and put Zombies in her stories and kill off characters we liked. But that's me. I would like to think that Rick and Ilsa Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554011661512891565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-85221346075622475182013-02-06T08:41:33.418-08:002013-02-06T08:41:33.418-08:00I've spent the most time and emotion thinking ...I've spent the most time and emotion thinking about what rest of Ezra's life is like (from Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant by Anne Tyler).

And I'm with Pam on wishing I hadn't read the sequel to Gone With The Wind. It's a book that didn't live up to expectations or the hype.

I loved using my imagination to ponder what happened to Scarlett and Rhett. BTW. I saw the movie when I was about thirteen. I think they showed it at school. I came home and told my mom, "I'm in love with Clark Gable." My mom, a Pamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.com
