Reading and screening the childhood classic The Velveteen Rabbit was something I was excited for that did not disappoint this past November. Amazingly, I had never read The Velveteen Rabbit as a kid; so when I found out AppleTV was making an adaptation it gave me an excuse to finally sit down and read it. The book was magical – it was beautifully written, imaginative, and a great Christmas season read. The screen adaptation was wonderful as well and I recommend checking them both out – especially during the holiday season.
Sadly Sofia Coppola’s adaptation of The Custom of the Country by Edith Wharton appears to have been cancelled. I bought a paperback copy of this book with an introduction by Sofia Coppola during the Summer and had saved it to wait and read before the adaptation came out but now it looks like I’ll just have to read the book and imagine what it would look like in my head :(.
