This week I was watching Conversations with Friends based on the novel by Sally Rooney (see the show vs book comparison here). In one scene the main character Frances is on vacation in Croatia and pulls out her beach read - Childhood by Tove Ditlevsen. Uncannily, the next day, my google feed pops up with this article on how books become props. Some shows are better at this than others. Issa’s nightstand in Insecure was always a good place to look for a recommendation. That’s how I discovered The Turner House by Angela Flournoy. For more books seen on screen, check out this post from Penguin. What books have you spotted in your favorite show?

"He that loves a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently divert and pleasantly entertain himself, as in all weathers, as in all fortunes." -Barrow

- When she's not caring for her husband and two children (and sometimes even when she is), she can be found reading "a novel."
