I have not had as much time as I would like to read lately. But I should be able to catch up now. I am still reading Small Favor by Jim Butcher. My post will mostly be about movies tonight.
One series of books I would like to start reading are the books they based How to Train Your Dragon on. The movie is fantastic and I hope the books are just as enjoyable. I did not realize there was a book series until they advertised in the cover of the movie.
Coming out on DVD this month is A Christmas Carol. This animated classic is a wonderful version of the story. Jim Carrey is a wonderful Scrooge. The elements they chose to include were wonderful and makes it different from other versions. It is worth checking out this holiday season.
I will be teaching The Giver in my class soon. The Giver is a very good story and it has good points. It is a book that really makes one look at the world we live in and it is a good book to get kids thinking. But I also think adults can also get a lot out of this book. It is a book that will stay with you. I will have more on it in a later post.
So right now I am finishing Small Favor by Jim Butcher.
