My goal this year is small. Very, very small. Horribly small. I feel bad just thinking about it. I set my goal for 60 books this year. I've never done this challenge before, but I guarantee I usually read more than that.
It's already 20 days into the year, and I've only read 6 books. I'm ahead by 3, but still. I used to read way more than this. I blame school.
Most of these books rated 4 stars in my opinion. I think I rated Once We Were three stars, but I don't remember. My dear sister suggested Indelible. She told me it was awesome. She rated it 5 stars on Goodreads. I felt her wrath when I rated it 4. (Same thing happened with Divergent. And Insurgent. *shudders*)
I have a lot more that I'm looking forward to reading when I have time.
Something Strange and Deadly,The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney, and Flash Gold being the top 3.
First of all, yes, I am aware of how many reviews I've been doing recently. I'm also aware that we're almost halfway through the month and I've only posted twice. I'm really sorry, it's just that my inspiration is running really, really low.
I watched this movie twice in two days. Mostly because the first time I saw it, I paused it a lot to get food and drinks because I was eating. Plus if I like a movie a lot I'll watch it over and over and over again. That being said, even my sister wanted to see it again -- and wasn't bothered when "again" was the next day! She never does that.
I'm guessing the reason is because Austenland is so hilarious. I died laughing at the way some of the characters spoke, at what her friend said that some people might've seen as disrespectful or cruel, but I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. I laughed anyways, and I probably will every time I see that scene.
Anyways, Jane Hayes has never had much luck with guys, and her obsession with Jane Austen -- or, more specifically, Pride & Prejudice -- is probably 98% of the problem.
So when she finally reaches her breaking point, she goes to Austenland, expecting awesome Regency era clothing, and, of course, romance.
And she finds it.
A lot of it.
Plus, there's a plot twist that left me very surprised. I spent over half of the movie telling my sister that the romance with a certain guy was going too fast and I didn't like it. Or him.
And turns out, I liked the right guy! Yaaay!
My point, I suppose, is this: Go see the movie. It's perfect if you wanna see some adorable romance and hilarious actors/actresses that will make you laugh.
