This is the sequel to Hush Hush which I read a few months ago. It was ok. I kinda skipped through some parts to get through it. There will be a 3rd book and of course I'll read that too.
I have been waiting for this book for 2yrs and FINALLY it's here. It was way better than I expected. It went through each character of the Twilight series, told little stories to explain some parts of the books. I loved it so much. Had some great art in it as well.
This is art done by fans....It also has a Stephanie Meyer interview by Shannon Hale (they're friends) which was great. The Book was awesome and alot of fun to read!!!
Mudbound by Hillary Jordan
This book was good til the end. It was one of those books that when you finish you kind of wonder what and why!!
This is by the author that wrote Sarah's Key. It was really good and interesting while I was reading this but the problem was that the secret was not was I was expecting and it was really disappointing so I wouldnt recommend it.
Can I just say that Shannon Hale has become my new favorite author!
So, Enna Burning is the 2nd in the Books of Bayern Series. Goose Girl was the 1st which I read a few months ago. This book was really really good. Great story and great characters. It's a must read.
This is the 3rd in the Books of Bayern Series and is about another character from the other 2. It was another great and fun read w/ a great story and other characters.
This is the 4th in the Books of Bayern Series and other great one. This one has a new main character but everyone else is in it as well. Another great story and at the end I was hoping this wouldnt be the last of this series. Please, please, please...we need more Shannon!!!!
This was recommended by my niece and was a very good book. Its set in the Austen Era as I call this time frame and was interesting w/the whole medicine, pharmacy "debate" and there were several men in this girls life and I couldnt figure out who I wanted her to end up til the end so that was fun. It was a pretty good read.
This was a great book!!!! Couldnt stop reading it and finished it in less than a day. It has great characters and the storyline is a young girl w/11 sisters in an enchanted castle and it was awesome!! this is Heather's 1st book and reading up on her, it sounds like she's LDS too!
This is written by a christian author and its actually her 1st book. It is based on the bible stories of Job and Dinah and kind of meshes those stories into an interesting story. The book was given to me by my friend Michele and I really enjoyed it. So much so that as soon as I finished I ordered it off of ebay. hahaha
This was another good book which deals w/ a girl and magical stone and a love! Its a good story and could possibly lead to another.
MOVIES
Denzel Washington and Chris Pine in a movie about a train that goes out of control and causes major havoc and together they bring it down. It was pretty good. Should be seen at least once.
Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman in a story of invitro gone wrong. It was ok and had a good ending but kind of predictable. It reminded me another movie Jennifer did called the object of my affection.
The Tourist-redbox
Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. This was a great movie. I kind of figured out the end a little less than half way through but it was a great movie and fun to watch. Plus its DePp....come on!!!
James Franco....dylan brought this home and I wasnt too sure about it but he told me the director was the slumdog millionaire guy so we watched and oh my gosh. I never thought 94 minutes of someone stuck in a cave would be interesting but it was an awesome movie and it was the type of movie that you just cant stop thinking about. I loved it!!!!
Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund
I was a big fan of the first Tron all those years ago so I was worried about this one but it was actually pretty good. I liked the storyline and the acting was good. I think this accents the first one pretty good.
Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Miranda Otto
1st saw this movie at the theater when it came out in 2005. Liked it...have seen a few times since then and it's still good. I like to watch this one.
Kate Beckinsale, Matt Dillon
This had a storyline of a woman that basically gives up her life to keep a secret. It had a great ending.
Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin, Josh Duhamel, Elijah Wood
This was a disappointment.
Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz, Hal Holbrook
Anyone who knows me knows how much I loved the book and so I was soooo excited for the movie and it exceded my expectations. Stayed pretty close to the book, some changes of course but the acting was great and the visual effects were great
and lets see......Robert was amazing. Love how you can watch him in another movie and not think of edward. He was gorgeous in this movie. Cant wait for the dvd!!!
Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhardt
This was kind of a snoozer. A married couple loses a child and this is just the story of how they try to keep their marriage together. It had stupid scenes like him getting stoned in a car w/ someone he barely knows and that bothered me. It was an ok movie. I wouldnt watch it again.
Angelina Jolie, Leiv Schreiber
Dont remember much about this one but I remember I liked it. It held my interest at the time so thats a plus. I'd probably watch it again, maybe so I can remember more of it.
Seth Rogan, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz, Christoph Waltz
This was a great movie. We actually bought it and I watched it several times that weekend. It was funny and had great visual effects and a good story. It should be seen.
Side note: Waltz has become my new favorite actor now!!!
Elijah Wood
I've seen this before on DVD a few years ago and loved it then and it was good a 2nd time around. I love the storyline:
A young Jewish American man endeavors to find the woman who saved his grandfather during World War II in a Ukrainian village, that was ultimately razed by the Nazis, with the help of an eccentric local.
I think its a must see.
WOW......loved this one soooo much. Great acting, Spielberg type feel to it and great storyline. Made me laugh, made jump, made bite my nails in anticipation. All the kids in the film did such an amazing job. You should really see this movie. Cant wait for DVD!!!
James Mcavoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender
Well, this one I'm torn. I ddnt really like it while I was watching it and after discussions about it w/ dylan and my niece.....I have to see it again before I make my final decision. It was just different from all the others and I thought the mutants were rip offs of the other ones and kinda stupid. But I dont have a final say to this until I see it again. SORRY!!!!
Natalie Portman, Susan Sarandon
This was a pretty good movie with a good storyline. I dont like Susan very much but she did ok in this movie. Its a good parent/child movie.
William Hurt,Charlotte Gainsboug, Anna Paquin, Joan Plowright
Love these movies....this was the 1st of the eyre movies that I ever saw and it's my favorite. Course I still need to see the 2011 version.
TV
this was on PBS Masterpiece Theater and is based on an older 1971 movie. It was in 3 parts and was really interesting. It was alot of fun to watch.
Another one of those tv series w/ 6 seasons. I only got through 3. It got kind of boring and Helen's constant screech of Joe's name got on my nerves. Dont know if I'll finish it.
this is back on for another season and I love it. Some of the ideas people come w/ are amazing and I wish I could put money into their businesses.
MUSIC
So this part is all about the FOO FIGHTERS. The most Awesome band EVER!!!!
I've been in love w/ Dave Grohl and this band since about 1995 and it continues to grow!!!
So first up is the dvd they made about the band in the early days and how they became who they are today!!!!
We watched this on VH1 and it was amazing. 90 minutes of Dave Grohl...Hello!!! but it was a very interesting story and I loved every minute of it. It was even shown in Theaters nationwide, except for in Ephrata of course!!!!
2ndly was the release of their new Album 04/12/11
Again.....another awesome album from the FOO.
Loved it!!!!!
3rd is that they were on :
The foo were the guest host on SNL. They played twice, both of the songs off the new album of course and then Dave made an appearance on one of the sketches. I knew he would do that.
4th was the most amazing of all.
Foo Fighters Headlined Sasquatch at the gorge in George, WA. It was pretty amazing and the details will be on my other blog cause there is soooo much share about this night. I will say that it was the best thing I've done for myself in a very very long time!!!!!
yay FOO!!!!
This is a pic of the cake that was made for sasquatch (it was its 10 yr birthday) that was made by Ace of Cakes. They werent there in person (boo) but it was fun to witness this!!!
