Marley & Me

This wasn't for bookclub (as one of us who shall remain nameless isn't an animal person... ahem...) but I'd been dying to read this since forever!!!

And since I finished Joy Luck Club early, I took my opportunity! :)

I LOVED this book!

Again, hubby was like, "how can some of those stories be for real?!?!"

(like Marley dragging a restaurant table across a lot...)

Regardless! Whether they're real or embellished or whatever, I loved the story!

I laughed... I cried... (no, seriously... I cried at the end).

I really enjoyed this author's writing style. Not too wordy, yet very expressive! Does that make sense?

Said a lot with very little and he's quite witty and funny!

Just a great story.

Now... I have not seen this movie (cause we never see movies) and from those I've spoken to who have seen it, it seems like I'm better off not seeing it!

But the book was great. I loved it!

I have to say, tho... I'd definitely think twice about getting a Lab Retriever. ;-)

Pride and Prejudice

Aww...

Lizzy! Darcy! Jane!


The whole bunch of 'em... too cute for words!

I read this book in HS... Loved it then. Love it now!

I have to admit, I didn't finish this in time for bookclub (cause I got side tracked and became obsessed with knitting and the Twinkle book), but I did finish it!

Better late than never, right.

It's just too sweet to not finish. I think A said it best when she said it is a very charming book. I agree.

Was inspired then, to watch the latest Pride & Prejudice movie, which I had not wanted to see, and which I ended up enjoying...

Also, was inspired to rewatch Bride & Prejudice, for the 100th time... I don't care what anyone says. I love that movie! :)
