Pictures from the Set -- One Day

I recently read One Day by David Nicholls and am very excited to see the movie version. I came across a website with photos from the set and thought I would share.

Review -- One Day by David Nicholls

One Day

by David Nicholls

Knopf Doubleday, 2010

437 pages

*I won a copy of this book from the publisher.

Summary: Dexter and Emma are connected by the one day they spent together after graduating from college. As they go their separate ways and become different people, they continue to stay connected through letters and eventually become best friends.

Review: Through 'snapshots' of one day (July 15) over the course of twenty years, author David Nicholls describes the relationship between two people as they journey to find themselves and their way through life. The novel is entertaining, the characters are interesting and real, and the novel is (at times) heartbreaking. Emma and Dexter are wonderful characters, who are perfect for one another, but the reader is allowed the time to see them grow and mature both in and out of their relationship. A wonderful read. Rating: **** out of 5

Sorry I have been MIA lately. I started grad school last week and between work, homework, and spending time with my boyfriend and family, I have been swamped. However, I did devour the fantastic Still Missing by Chevy Stevens this weekend and am hoping to post a review of the lovely One Day by David Nicholls by the end of the week. After that -- it is back to homework and if I have a free minute or two, I will be reading Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin and The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry.

I can't believe the weekend is over already! Over the weekend I was able to almost finish the fantastic One Day by David Nicholls. Last week I finished Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (review to come) and reviewed Starting From Scratch by Susan Gilbert-Collins (click on the title to read my review).

This week I am hoping to start one, if not all of the following: The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry, The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, and Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin.

What are you reading? Currently, I am about 20 pages away from finishing Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and 20 pages into One Day by David Nicholls.

What have you recently finished reading? Over the weekend I finished Starting from Scratch by Susan Gilbert-Collins (review to come) and last week I reviewed Look Again by Lisa Scottoline (click on title to read my review).

What are you reading next? Most likely I will try to read The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry or if the library has a copy, then I will read The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson.

Happy Monday! This week I am trying to finish Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert so I can go see the movie with my mom. I also need to pick up One Day by David Nicholls again and if all goes according to plan (which it never does) then I will finish the week off by reading The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry. Last week, I read Starting from Scratch (which I loved, review to come) and reviewed Look Again by Lisa Scottoline (click on the title to read my review, not my favorite but had some good qualities).

What are you currently reading? Right now I am in the third part of Eat, Pray, Love (the love part) by Elizabeth Gilbert and only a handful of pages into One Day by David Nicholls and Starting from Scratch by Susan Gilbert - Collins.

What have you recently finished reading? I just finished Look Again by Lisa Scottoline (review to come) and The Wife's Tale by Lori Lansens (click on the title to read my review).

What are you reading next? No idea. I need to finish the three that I am working on before starting something new.

Happy Monday! I have today off of work so this will be a quick post and then I am off to yoga class. I am currently reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (I just finished the Italy portion and am yearning to go there on my next vacation) and One Day by David Nicholls (not much to report I have only read a few pages since last week). Last week, I finished Look Again by Lisa Scottoline (review to come) and reviewed The Wife's Tale by Lori Lansens (click on the title to read my review). I have book club tomorrow night and we are discussing The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows (click on the title for my review). Have a great week of reading!!!

What are you currently reading? Right now I am in the middle of Look Again by Lisa Scottoline (I started skimming -- I don't know if it's my mood, the characters, or the topic that is turning me off) and One Day by David Nicholls (less than 20 pages in -- very interesting characters so far).

What have you recently finished? Last week I finished The Wife's Tale by Lori Lansens (click on the title to read my review). Yesterday I searched the internet for word that there is a sequel in the works to this book, but came up with nothing. Very disappointing.

What are you reading next? Maybe I will try to finish The Host by Stephenie Meyer (a re-read) or The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry (for book club in October).

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. The weather here (in Massachusetts) is really beautiful -- cool, sunny, and breezy. The perfect weather to sit outside with a book and something fruity to drink. I digress! This week, I am reading One Day by David Nicholls (interesting so far) and Look Again by Lisa Scottline (kind of terrible -- maybe I am just not in the mood?). Last week I finished the wonderful A Wife's Tale by Lori Lansens (review to come) but if you want to discuss the ending then shoot me an email (jedziedzAThotmailDOTcom) because I have a lot of confusion and disappointment brewing (and I absolutely loved this novel). I also reviewed the fantastic This Must Be The Place by Kate Racculia (click on the title for my review).

Arriving Last Week

I received a copy of One Day by David Nicholls in the mail last week. Here is the Barnes and Noble description:

It's 1988 and Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley have only just met. They both know that the next day, after college graduation, they must go their separate ways. But after only one day together, they cannot stop thinking about one another. As the years go by, Dex and Em begin to lead separate lives—lives very different from the people they once dreamed they'd become. And yet, unable to let go of that special something that grabbed onto them that first night, an extraordinary relationship develops between the two.
Over twenty years, snapshots of that relationship are revealed on the same day—July 15th—of each year. Dex and Em face squabbles and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. And as the true meaning of this one crucial day is revealed, they must come to grips with the nature of love and life itself.

And I read that they are developing the book into a movie starring Anne Hathaway -- sounds great, right? Now I just need to find the time to read it.
