I’m going to deviate from my normal Two-Sided Tuesday post format a little bit here because, quite simply, I’ve yet to read a book that has the charm that this book has.  (Although I have been told to check another title out, which I plan to do this month).  However, the book I am thinking of was made into a movie fairly recently – starring Amy Adams.  The title is: Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winnifred Watson.

I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out.  I went with my mother and we really had no idea what to expect.  I’d never heard of this story – but I’d heard of Amy Adams and couldn’t wait to see her in another role.  The movie was cute, bubbly, full of charm and cast extremely well.  However, the ending left me wanting.  Everything seemed so neatly wrapped up.  Then, as I was browsing the list of 1001 Books to Read I noticed a familiar name.

Ok – ignore the ugly cover.  Seriously, it’s hideous in my opinion.  This book is amazing and you should check it out like.. now. Seriously.  I put this book down and just wanted to crawl inside of it and live in the world created, problems and all.  I wanted to be best friends with Delysia and I wanted to experience Miss Pettigrew’s life as it unfolded.  The ending, by the way, was everything I was left wanting.  It was perfect.
