Sierra and Jenna review “Mr. Malcolm’s List” which is just a really boring version Bridgerton

Red Wine Reads

This week, we read — and watched! — Mr. Malcolm's List by Suzanne Allain

Sierra joins me on this episode to discuss:

• Why Jenna fell asleep during the movie.
• How well this book was adapted to screen — they did a great job, almost word-for-word the same!
• Why the movie’s creative interpretation of the ending irked us both.

Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you dozing off while you read on the plane…

Quick Book Synopsis: This novel follows the Honourable Mr. Jeremy Malcolm as he searches for a wife, but not just any wife. He's determined to avoid the fortune hunters and find a near-perfect woman, one who will meet the qualifications on his well-crafted list. But after years of searching, he's beginning to despair of ever finding this paragon. Until Selina Dalton arrives in town. But when Mr. Malcolm begins judging Selina against his unattainable standards, Selina decides that she has some qualifications of her own. And if he is to meet them he must reveal the real man behind...Mr. Malcolm's List.
