I love her books and this one pretty good too. It was different in that the main character Viola is about 14 and throughout the book are many references to todays teens way of life.(I'm surprised Twilight wasnt mentioned..haha). It's a cute book and an easy read.
This is a book from the teen reading in the genre of the wolfy/supernatural. I liked this one. It read good and the storyline was great. There's a second book coming out The Lost Saint soon, so cant wait for that.
about a young girl called Luce (full name Lucinda Price, Luce for short) who gets sent to "Sword and Cross" reform school. Here, she meets Daniel Grigori, of who she immediately feels that she has met him before. Luce then finds out she has met him before as they are destined to fall in love over and over again, but that their love will only end in grief, as Luce usually dies after being with Daniel.
I really liked this book. It had a good story and I cant wait to read the next one Torment which continues Luce and Daniels story.
Evermore by Alyson Noel
I did not like this one. Another immortal book which is fine but the storyline was weak and this author likes to throw in teen drinking/sex and drugs like its a normal thing for teens to do when we all know that THE most popular "teen" books of all time have none of that. I dont even care if there are more in the series. I'm not reading them.
Messenger by Lois Lowry
I'm not a big fan of this author but I read this one since the main character was my favorite character in the Gathering Blue book. I will say that this was the best of the three books.
This is an AWESOME book. Very well written and a great story w/some interesting history woven in. It's written as a past/present timeline and w/ family and love relationships. VERY good!!!!
MOVIES

This stars Cate Blanchett and was really good. It also stars Rupert Penry-Jones, Billy Crudup and Michael Gambon. Wartime story w/la love story mixed in. I really enjoyed this movie.
I liked this one...had seen it before but forgotten about it. I love Shirley McClaine. It's a cute, tender movie.
Wow!! What to say about this movie. It was good....A very different movie and luckily I'm the sort that can appreciate this type of movie. There's no real way to describe it...you just have to see it.
This is a BBC version of Wuthering Heights. It aired during on Masterpiece Classics back in 09. I loved it and fell in love w/Tom Hardy who plays Heathcliff. If you love these kinds of movies...this is a good one.
TV
I havent watched this in many seasons but my interest was peeked when Sylvia said the Rulon from the olympics was on it this season and I've become hooked. I dont like Rulon or his partner(isnt that kind of funny) and am rooting for the purple team and the green team.
I found this on netflix and FELL IN LOVE!!! the best part is that the series is still going on. I'm so hooked on this Walker family and loved the seasons that Rob Lowe was on as Senator McCallister. I love this whole family!! Netflix only had up to season 4 so then I had to sign up for HULU( 1 week free trial) and watch 13 eps. of season 5. This Sunday it comes back on ABC 10p. Cant wait to continue the Walker sagas!!!! (side note:I watched roughly about 65 hrs of this show in 2 wks. I couldnt stop. It was so much fun)
I really shouldnt put this one on here cause I got the idea to watch it from Ken Olin and Patricia Wettig in Brothers and Sisters. I watched a few episodes and quit cause I found the characters boring and they were all so selfish and whiney. Friends being jealous of their friends spouses, husband being jealous of the kids and I just didnt like it.
This is a BBC show that I found on Netflix and it was really good. There are 2 series at only 6 episodes a piece. Its based on a virus that kills everyone but a few and these guys find each other and take care of each other while searching for the main characters son and trying to find out how it all happened and of course there's the normal bad guys and a facility that knew the virus was going to happen. It ended w a big cliff hanger and then I read online that BBC cancelled it. WHAT?? I'm so mad about that.
