my movie reviews

recent movies i've seen and my two cents:

• Toy Story 3 - definite must and impressive for a sequel
• Shrek - do the roar! good one.
  
• Knight and Day - don't waste your time
• Letters to Juliette - great...as chick-ish as you can get
• Ironman 2 - good, but first one was better
• Eclipse - glad I didn't stay up all night opening night to see it...wait til the crowd dies down
• Karate Kid - awesome! the original is a letdown in comparison
• Avatar: The Last Airbender - horrible acting. left after 15 minutes on opening night.
  

the book hoarder i've become

so many books...so little time. i get on reading streaks and then i'll get all these books i want to read but then after a few i'll go through an extended period of no reading at all. i don't even want to read street signs during these times. so i've acquired quite the bookcase of books that i haven't even cracked yet. so i thought i'd list the unread books so i can look back occasionally and see how far i've come:

• eyes of a stranger
• santa cruise
• i heard that song before
• at first sight
• the guardian (started about 3 times)
• the purpose of christmas
• sea glass (also started a couple times)
• the memory keeper's daughter
• flashback
• raising an emotionally intelligent child
• the princess
• forever...
• keeping it together in a pull-apart world (i really should pick this one up sometime)
• princess (i)
• princess sultana's daughters (ii)
• princess sultana's circle (iii)
• mayada
• whisperings of the spirit
• the explosive child
• the choice
• the wednesday letters
• light in shadow
• get off the best-stressed list
• how i got this way and what to do about it (partially read...so i know how i got this way, just not what to do about it yet)
• a time to dance
• inkheart
• where are the children?
• the woods
• hokus pokus
• sometimes i wake up grumpy...and sometimes i let him sleep
• payback
• sunday at tiffany's
• the gift of eternal life
• the painting on the pond
• as always, dave
• the promised land series (read the 1st before the others came out and now have to reread it before going on)
• almost sisters
• fire of the covenant
• journey to zion
• hold tight
• the last child
• being the mom
• the risk of darkness
• the host
  

the books i'm in the process of reading are:
