Well, I did end up watching THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (on DVD), but not last Sunday. I think it was Monday or Tuesday when I finally got around to it. And, it was decent… it stayed fairly true to the book, aside from cutting out a lot, and aside from it jumping around a bit (some scenes were ‘out of order’ if you put it next to the book’s sequence). Still good, though. I enjoyed it.
I’m still reading LEAVE IT TO CHANCE by Sheri Sand, and it’s a good book. In fact, there was one scene that I read the other day that had me crying from laughing so hard! My stomach hurt when I was done with the giggles it induced! LOL. :P Definitely check it out. It’s not a fast-moving book, and it’s not “extraordinary”, but it’s just a good book. I’m finding that a lot of it resonates with my own life, so that makes it interesting.
Today I hope to finish reading that book so that tomorrow I can start on a new one (an A.R.C) that I received in the mail this past week — a young adult book called “THE OLD MAN’S SECRET” by Sandra Kay Austin. The author’s husband contacted me, via email, and asked if I’d like to review the book, so I said I’d be happy to!
I’m utterly amazed at the amount of people that have signed up for the new 2009 challenge I created… the RYOB (Read Your Own Books) Challenge! It started out as a personal challenge that I was going to do on my own. But, after I mentioned it over at Should Be Reading, a bunch of people showed an interest… now there are over 60 people planning to participate! Whoa! :-O I’m excited about that, though… it’s always more fun to do reading challenges with other people.
Lastly, I’m starting to get into a Christmasy mood… I’m starting to look forward to celebrating Christmas, and to the family gatherings and such that come with that. I already have my Christmas lights on (on the exterior of the house), but my Christmas tree won’t go up until December… probably the first week (so only one week away!). Time is really flying this year… seems like we just DID Christmas 2007, and already 2008 is ready to be ushered out the door! Yikes!
Anyhoo… Hope ya’ll have a great week! Stay warm!
