Reviews and Anticipation

I think it may be the fact that summer is a mere 21 days away, but I am really craving books and movies! Not just any old book or movie though, ones that are exciting and cannot stop until you're done!  I am so tired of reading textbooks and notes and more notes, as well as documentaries and "learning" films in class.

So I recently dusted off my Nook and have been reading again! I'm in the middle of Never Let Me Go right now.  So far, it is not living up to my high expectations.  It is going along at a slow pace and I am still not sure what exactly is going on.  It was made into a movie last fall with Keira Knightly, and I am going to watch it after I finish the book.

There are also a lot of good movies being released soon and books that are on my 'To Read' list.  Hopefully I will be able to really delve into it this summer. First off, Water for Elephants comes out this Friday. I am so excited! I read this book last month and really enjoyed it. The author, Sara Gruen, had me picturing a movie in my mind throughout the book. It also helps that I am a HUGE Reese Witherspoon fan, and I guess Robert Pattinson too ;)

Another movie, Something Borrowed, comes out on May 6th.  I saw the trailer on TV a couple of days ago.  It looks like a really great story line and I love Ginnifer Goodwin ever since seeing He's Just Not That Into You.  I freaked when I found out that the screenplay was adapted from a book and downloaded the sample on my Nook last night.  I am definitely going to purchase it with my gift card tonight!

There are also so many movies that I want to catch up on, and I won't bore you with the specifics.  I feel that I am always doing homework, and I watch TV to relax because it doesn't take as much time as a movie.  I cannot wait for this summer to come so that I can watch them all the time! 21 days, baby!
