Books and Movies

34. Read 30 books and write reviews in LibraryThing for them Oh, I've got a few more:

Almost Like Being in Love - I got this from the used book store as the unedited proof. It was a cute/funny gay love story. I loved the style of writing, and it was an easy read (read it in one day).

The Kindess of Strangers - wonderful book about a sad subject. Once again, loved the writing style, really got into the characters, this is one of the best books I've read in a while

Bridget Jones's Diary - just one of those books I've wanted to read for a long time and never had. Just what I expected: short, predictable, funny. A nice easy read.

The Second Summer of the Sisterhood - the second Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book. Liked it just as much as the first. Once again, a nice easy read, but sometimes you just need that :) I need to read up to the fourth book before the movie comes out (which, while called "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2", it's actually based off of the fourth book. gah.)


Also: 44. Watch 101 movies and keep track of the list:

Get Smart - in theaters, obviously. Good, funny, nothing amazing.

27 Dresses - exactly what you'd expect. Cute, kinda funny, glad I got it from netflix and didn't actually "pay" to see it.

Summercamp - a documentary about (shock) summercamp. I like documentaries, so it was good.

Stop-Loss - just meh. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.
