Screen and Page Book Discussion

What We Read (and watch)

We read books that have been made into movies and watch the films based on them. The focus is on (mostly) fiction books for adults and film ratings through R, rather than young adult choices. Selections may be current Screen Reads (in theaters or on TV) or inspired by general monthly themes that alternate between lighter and heavier topics.
