Things I do when I’m SICK!

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

I’m sick. Which means I’m in bed and fairly useless. Since I’ve given in to the germs I’ve watched a lot of movies and read two books. Here are some very short thoughts on the 5 movies and 2 books.

Cowboys and Aliens (first time) - I didn’t hate it. It was just weird. And Daniel Craig is RIPPED. Like RIPPED… In a very distracting and scene stealing way. Rachel Weisz (his wife) enjoy all of that ripped-ness :)

The Descent (many times) – Caves are still scarier than the monsters. Still a good movie

Return to Me (many times) – Makes me smile. Minnie Driver and David Duchovney were charming

Under the Tuscan Sun (many times) – When you’re sick and cold, this movie will make you feel warm.

Love Actually (many times) – Smiling, happy greatness

 

Books:

Lola and the Boy Door - read my Goodreads review for details. Bottom line, almost as brilliant as Anna and the French Kiss, meaning it should be on your TBR list. Meaning – a great idea for Christmas for all you reading fans out there. Warning – some language and scenes of intimacy, but spot on for real (no vampires, werewolves, etc) YA and adult lovers of YA.

Song of the Nile – Loved it. Will be detailing on Goodreads shortly. Suffice it say I have a writer/girl crush on Stephanie Dray and this sequel is Awesome. If you’re a historical fiction fan – READ these books.

That’s all – back to bed and meds and more movies and books…
