Magicians Elephant by Kate DiCamillo. This was recommended by a friend and I loved it. It's written as a childrens book but it reads like an adult. Love the storyline and pictures are perfect.
The Secret Zoo by Bryan Chick
This book is really cute. Its geared for grade school kids and its a mystery/adventure book. Very well written and lots of fun to read.
The End of Everything by Megan Abbott
This book was ridiculous. Do not recommend at all. The storyline is of a 13yr old girl who is kidnapped. She's found towards the end of the book but then it turns out she ran away w/the old man that kidnapped her because she thought it was cool that he was in love w/her. OH MY GOSH. REalLY!!! I've read books before where I've been disappointed by the ending but this was just awful. Do not read!!!
The Silent Governess by Julie Klassen
This is the author of the Apothocary's Daughter which I liked and I really liked this one too. In fact, probably better. It's about a girl that is mistakenly accused of something and becomes indentured to this wealthy family but because of an attack on her, her throat is squashed and she cant talk. It's a romance but very interesting.
MOVIES
Bright Star-TV
Abbey Cornish, Ben Whishaw.
Love this movie.
The drama based on the three-year romance between 19th century poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne, which was cut short by Keats' untimely death at age 25.
Brothers Bloom-DVD
Rio-Redbox
Jesse Eisneberg, Anne Hathaway.
Really a cute movie.
Lots of colors and a good storyline. Loved all the characters.
Gnomeo and Juliet-Netflix DVD
This was the most boring movie ever. I was really disappointed in it. Not much else to say.
I liked this poster and realized its in another language.
Into the Pride-Netflix Instant Play
This was really fun to watch. Dave Salmoni spent 6 months w/a pride of lions to try and get them adapted to people so they could stay in a tourist sanctuary. It was really interesting and fun to watch those big kitty cats and their babies.
Addicted to Love- TV
Meg Ryan, Matthew Broderick, Kelly Preston
Maggie's and Sam's former partners are in love; she wants revenge and he wants his lost love back, so they work together to break up the happy couple. I love this movie. It was fun to watch.

The office
Vampire Diaries
Supernatural
Modern Family
Hawaii Five o
Biggest Loser
Big Bang Theory
Parks and Recreation
It is very nice to have a TV Schedule back.
And here are some new ones I've started watching. Some good, some ok!!
The Secret Circle-CW Britt Robertson (from Dan in Real Life)
This has a teenage witch storyline. So far so good. Kinda ame but not enough to stop watching.
Hart of Dixie-CW Rachel Bilson
This reminds me of other shows thats been done in the past. Big city girl doctor moves to a small town and its "just so hard for her to fit in". The first show was last week and it was very week. We'll see if it gets better.

Ringer-CW Michelle Geller,
This is pretty good so far. Twins w/one leading the others life that she thinks is dead and it has some pretty interesting things going on. Some parts can be cheesy but I want to continue to watch.
Revenge-ABC Emily Van Camp, Madeleine Stowe, Nick Wechsler,(from Roswell) and many others.
LOVE THIS!!!!! 2 shows already and it's very good. The title says what the storyline is but the characters and the storyline have been great. Cant wait for more.
Unforgettable-CBS Poppy Montgomery, Dylan Walsh
this one was good. She's a sort of detective and some strange thing where she can remember EVERYTHING that has happened to her and can kind of voodoo into scenes of crimes.
