Thrifty Lit: Verity & Gone Girl

March 29, 2024

This week’s thrift store visit gave me two great thrillers: Verity by Colleen Hoover and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Perfect paperbacks, 25 cents each. The thrift store I visited today may have the smallest book selection of all the ones I frequent, but I always seem to leave with at least one amazing book.

Plus, it’s a perfect excuse to grab two coffees and spend time with my brother, who works right next to said thrift store. Does he want to sift through secondhand items? No, not really. But does he want a free coffee and a few laughs over some of the most off-the-wall donated things we come across? Yes, always.

Verity has been on my radar due to the massive hype (sometimes hate? but attention nonetheless) it gets on BookTok. As someone who loves a good psychological thriller, I’ve been intrigued, to say the least. And I know, I know… my thrift store adventures are typically to find any beloved book-to-film material, but maybe this will one day be a film? After all, It Ends With Us is a movie in the making! The thrift store search for that book continues…

It Ends With Us Book vs Movie

And Gone Girl I’ve been wanting to read for YEARS—ever since my bestie and I saw the movie in theaters and I was completely transfixed by its twists and turns of suspense. It’s a movie I never skip by should I find it playing on TV.

Two thrillers and two cups of coffee make for a perfect Friday.

Books, Books to Film, Turner Classic Movies, and Outlander are topics (aside from my kids, husband, & two cats) that elicit instant joy for me. Here at 'Home With Two' you'll find those topics in plenty -- amongst so much more! Thank you for being here!

Hi I’m Julie

I love to read, write, and take too many pictures. Blogging has always combined all three loves into a fun and beautiful hobby. You can always find me with an iced coffee in one hand and a book (or two) in the other. Thanks for stopping by!

“All fame cost her was everything.” 🎸✨💋
Darkening Song by Delphine Seddon was such a fun read. When I saw it being placed in the same space as #daisyjonesandthesix I immediately requested this ARC. Thank you @netgalley and @stmartinspress — I can’t wait for the adaptation!

Daisy Jones & The Six — one of my favorite book adaptations ever. 📚 More books need to be made into a limited TV series rather than crammed into a movie.  #daisyjonesandthesix #bookadaptation #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookflatlay
