Blog series alert!
About two months ago, I made the decision to start reading books for fun again. I'm always reading but more often than not, I'm reading to learn and gain information about some sort of craft. I love reading but I wasn't reading enough just for the sheer joy of reading like I used to do growing up and it was time to change that.
To start, I ordered two books that I had been sitting on my Amazon wish list waiting to be bough for the longest: Cleo McDougal Regrets Nothing and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
I read Cleo McDougal first because I had been eyeing that one for the longest and started reading a chapter or two every night before bed and it was very nice night time reading because it was easy on the mind. About halfway through, Hurricane Ida decided she wanted to come through so I packed my books with me because I just knew we were going to lose electricity and I didn't want to be bored. I was very smart to make that decision because we did lose power, and I would have been insanely bored without those books.
One of the bright (?) spots about losing power during the storm and days after is that is allowed me to catch up on reading on a few books I've been meaning to read but never got around to doing and revisiting some old faves. My thoughts on Cleo McDougal are actually what inspired this series called Would Reginée Adapt This because of course as a screenwriter, I must also think about could I see myself spending the time and money to option and adapt what I read because I've got ambitious foresight like that.
Without further ado, would Reginée adapt "Cleo McDougal Regrets Nothing"?
