What I'm reading Wednesday...

Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth

I saw two episodes or so of this program on our public television station and really enjoyed it, but then couldn't seem to find it again.  So when I came across the book in the superstore, I picked it up.  Then, of course, the program became available again. 

The program is very true to the book, and I'm enjoying comparing each to the other.

(And because I haven't come across anyone local who watches Downton Abbey [it comes on right after Call the Midwife here], can I just ask if anyone else was as devastated as I was by the season 3 finale?  Oh, oh, ooooooh...heartbreaking.  Is that too much of a spoiler?)

  1. Yay, I can say I am 'on the same page as you' finally! I'm reading it too and loving it! I am going to get Downton S3 on DVD so am trying not to hear about it. I think we are only up to episode 3 here in Australia. Sounds like its. Ripper season!

  2. Joolz, so fun to know that you're reading and enjoying the book too! I tried not to say TOO much about Downton and spoil it. Will be interested to hear how you feel about the season later.

  3. I can't stay mad at Downton Abbey but how could they do this to us?????????? I'm glad to hear about Call the Midwife. I can get it at my library. My reading challenge went nowhere altho I do glance at those books and feel guilty.

  4. Call the Midwife has just finished its second series over here. I watched the first one, but haven't seen any of the second, but I do have the book, haven't yet got around to reading it. LOVE Downton - and yes, was very upset at the end of S3.

I have had a lot of really gross spam comments left lately, so I am having to turn comment moderation back on. To my nice blog friends, my apologies if this makes it more difficult for you to comment. To the mean naughty-talk spammers, just go away!
