I held off reading this book for various reasons despite being a hardcore reader but then DP managed to secure a copy of the movie and I couldn't resist watching it although I'm definitely more of a 'read the book before seeing the movie' type.

Needless to say I've watched it 3 times and have ended up in progressively worse bawling fits each time.

Three weeks ago, DP returned home on a Sunday "after running errands" with a 8 week old female version of Marley: Eva - my 34th bday present. And now I'm thinking I need to read the book as I can't imagine life without her already.

Which leads me to thinking - does BB have a book swap club going? I'm off to search for one now as I have a ton of books just sitting here waiting to be enjoyed by someone else. If not, maybe that's something we can start if there are enough people interested as not everyone makes it to the library or wishes to shell out for a full-priced book. Just a thought!
