The Queen's Gambit

It was a Sunday evening when my daughter suggested that we should watch the series. It was instant love which led to a binge-watching spree that we both thoroughly enjoyed. We were a few in before I realized a book existed so the out of order thing I despise had happened. BUT, time spent with people I love always ranks higher, so the irritation was quickly forgotten. So many months later I finally made my move and gave the reading game clock a quick tap and well...
This book surpassed by expectations.
Every piece of this was well crafted. The lead character was an instant win, and the inner workings of her mind were spectacular. The only thing about her that gave me pause was the insane number of eggs she consumed. Not sure if the author has an addiction himself or if that was an accurate representation of what most people ate at that point in time. Either/or it caught my attention in an odd way and now every time I eat eggs I think of this story.
Five eggstatic stars for a very eggworthy read.

I have a bad case of reviewer's block. I am hoping this one knocks it loose.


I just finished reading that one. Is the movie good?

The movie was lovely, but I'm sure that as is often the case, the book may be better. What I try to do, if I can, is to let a bit of time pass between reading and watching. That way, I'm less likely to be disappointed. But yes, it was a good movie.

You are the tipping point on this one. I will have to give it a try.
