I'll definitely rent them again, perhaps this summer, just to start getting in the mood. Any other recommendations are welcomed! Have you been to Italy? Any recommendations?Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-84075659813498993072011-02-25T13:37:41.831-08:002011-02-25T13:37:41.831-08:00Oh my goodness, the film is one of my favorites an...Oh my goodness, the film is one of my favorites and I read the book after seeing it and loved it, too. Maybe you would like the film better - Joan Plowright is in there after all. <br /><br />Have you seen A Room with a View? That strikes me as a must-see film before going to Italy.Lesleyhttp://www.alifeinbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-2870232911903062942011-02-23T16:26:27.419-08:002011-02-23T16:26:27.419-08:00Bellezza - I hope it's a case of bad timing.

I put it back on my nightstand and will try to read a little more here and there. <br /><br />Coffee and a Book Chick - Oh, how lucky of you to have been to Italy twice!! I'm green with envy! I hope to be able to afford to go more than this one time. I know I can't see everything I want to see in 10-14 days, so a second trip will have to be in the plan later on down the line. I've got your email handy (thanks!) and will drop you a note as I get further into my planning.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-47823206118128029182011-02-22T07:37:01.671-08:002011-02-22T07:37:01.671-08:00I am so excited for you that you'll be going t...I am so excited for you that you'll be going to Italy! I've been madly in love with all things Italy since I was much younger, and have now gone twice, most recently a year and a half ago for my honeymoon. I love everything about Italy! I joined Book After Book's Italy in Reading challenge this year so something you might like to join!<br /><br />Also, there are some fabulous blogs I've been following that are about the food in Italy, more specifically, in Rome. Shoot me a note if you have any questions or want the blog info - coffeeandabookchick at gmail dot com. I'm so excited for you (can you tell I want to do a virtual trip through your visit?) :)Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-32154244110258725732011-02-21T16:42:42.482-08:002011-02-21T16:42:42.482-08:00I'm sorry you didn't like it as much as I....I'm sorry you didn't like it as much as I. Like Nancy said, it could be a matter of timing. Perhaps when you get back from Italy itself? Although, this is a book which dwells rather more on the characters than the setting. I just enjoyed the setting vicariously.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-55247865193234414672011-02-21T14:17:47.004-08:002011-02-21T14:17:47.004-08:00JoAnn - Yes, I think I'll keep reading this in...JoAnn - Yes, I think I'll keep reading this in bits & pieces. Couldn't hurt. :)<br /><br />Diane - You'll have to let me know what you think. :)<br /><br />Nancy - Yes, it certainly could be a timing issue. I'll keep going with it later this spring. I wonder how you'll like it.<br /><br />Jenclair - I know I've seen it, but I sure don't remember much about it! It's been years.<br /><br />Sassymonkey - I'm still in the planning stage. I'm thinking about Orvieto, San Gimignano, Cortona, Montepulciano, Pienza, Assisi, Siena, Florence, Positano and Cinque Terre. Gotta start thinking about narrowing this down, though. I'm planning on 2 weeks. I'll probably fly in and out of Rome, so I'll see a little bit of the city then.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-42001673256572826952011-02-21T12:13:44.937-08:002011-02-21T12:13:44.937-08:00Where are you going in Italy?

I've set aside books thinking they weren't right for me and then found that I loved them when I gave them a second chance, many times. <br /><br />Like Diane, I just downloaded this one to my reader, Petunia.
