Right now I am reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgsen Burnett. It is so charming! I'm loving it!!
Before that I read Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank Gilbreth and somebody else who's name I don't remember. I would highly recommend it. It's about a family with twelve kids which is totally opposite of my life; so that was fun and interesting. I really liked it.
There's also a sequel by the same authors: Belles on their Toes. I might read that one next.
I also read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein and it was VERY good. I just love fantasy books! I can't wait to read The Lord of the Rings now, I'm excited.
A couple weeks ago I also watched the First Work and the Glory movie. I've read the first two books and own the third one, so I was curious about the movie. It was done really well. It covered only about half the first book, but it followed it SO well. It wasn't perfect, (meaning it didn't quote the book or anything crazy like that) but everything was in order and nothing was changed, and the whole feeling of the book was kept just right. I loved it, and now I'm all excited to read the other books and watch the other movies! It was also fun because I had just gotten home from Nauvoo, so I was sort of in a pioneer mood.
I'm hoping to see the Ramona and Beezus movie sometime, because I've read those books about a hundred times. I've got to see the movie, even thought it might not follow the books at all and might just make me angry. But any person who has read the books a hundred times and relates them to her everyday life has got to see the movie, right?
Happy Reading!
