Books

Little Bee by Chris Cleave
The lives of a British woman and a Nigerian girl collide in this novel of lost innocence and survival. Its a very good book and must be read
The White Giraffe by Lauren St.John
This is a kids book that my friend Michele was reading w/her daughter and so of course I feel I must read any book I find out about and I'm glad I did. It was written well and had a good plot for that age group.
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Loved this book......wolves, humans, love, desperation. It was AWESOME. My next obsession and then it lead to................
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
the 2nd book to Shiver........another great book. Different take from the 1st and it worked!!!!! Now I just have to patiently wait for #3. Any of my twilight, hunger games fans should read these books.
House Rules by Jodi Picoult
Very good book. A boy w Aspbergers is framed for a murder and of course as in Picoult books its never straightforward. It was a good read w/interesting characters and a ddnt see coming ending.
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
good book.....I liked the feel of the story. Fallen Angel loves Mortal girl. Kinda Supernaturalish, It wasnt as gripping as others which I was hoping for w/the storyline. But there is a 2nd coming out and I will read that one too.
Side note: It feels like I read something else during this time but there was about 4 wks of craziness and overtime at work, so I dont know.
And....dylan just picked up 7 more books from the library for me! Yay me!!!
Movies
netflix-dvd
Hugh Dancy and Rose Burn about a guy w/Aspbergers who falls in love in a girl and it was a cute movie but the ending wasnt good. It was depressing.
dvd
I've always loved this movie and thanks to my friend Sylvia and her coupon clipping, I finally own it and then of course had to watch it straight away. I dont need to talk about it cause you either love it or you dont.
netflix dvd
Nia Vardalos and John Corbett from My Big Fat Greek Wedding fame return in this story of a girl who doesnt want romance or love and only wants to date Until "he" moves into town and then she wants him but he's taking it way too slow. It was kinda dumb movie w/ bad acting.
netflix- instant play
A graduate student copes with a recent breakup by conducting interviews with various men.This has John Krasinski in it. It was a depressing movie. Had the f word in it several times when the rating of it ddnt say that. In this movie, Johns character is alot like Jim!!!
netflix-instant play
This is a quirky movie. It was cute in a low budget kind of way. some bad acting but the I ddnt mind that I had watched it.
Netflix- dvd
Loved this one.....Katherine Heigel and Ashton Kutcher and it was good. Wasnt expecting the storyline which I thought was funny. If I ever find this movie for $5 or under, I'll buy it.
tv
Had seen this one before but it was on tv so I watched it. It's just ok. Eva Longoria's character is really annoying. One thing in the movie I noticed was Pauls character gave the main girl a book and it was "brief interviews w/hideous men" and I was like...hey I just watched that movie. HAHAHA!!!!
tv
This is a classic for me. I remember as a teen watching this movie w/my sister. I think we watched a hundred times. Back when HBO actually showed movies all the time and they would play all month long at different times. Anyway....I love this movie and it was great seeing it again after a long time. The songs were stuck in my head for days and dylan thought I was a bit weird since I dont like country but was singing "but you aint woman enough, to take my man!!". (add the twang for effect)
TV
The Event
This is my new I've been watching. It has John Ritters son in it and it's actually pretty good so far. Has some Aliens-a young couple in love who have torn apart by kidnapping, mean men-government people. It's been good!
The King of Queens
Only in rerun now...and very funny. I love how they're married and they act and talk horrible to each other but they really do love each other. I know that sounds bad but it's funny to watch.
Music
James Barbour
I love this guys voice and I wish so bad I could go to this. but it's only in California, New York and one showing in Hawaii. Come to Washington, Please!!!!!!!
