Inkheart, Bride Wars, and Taylor Swift

I feel slow. I just discovered yesterday that Inkheart has been made into a movie!! o_O Wow, I am seriously out of it. I blame exam week.

Inkheart, Inkspell, and now Inkdeath as well are a series written by Cornelia Funke, and they are quite an interesting series. I actually just got my hands on a copy of Inkdeath today (after a few months of being on the wait list at the library, I might add) and it's taking all of my will power not to start on it this very second! *Deep Breath* I'm determined to finish The Hobbit before I pick up anything else, so I'll just have to wait a little longer.

I won't bore you readers (haha, all four, maybe five or six of you) with the details of Inkheart. Basically, it's a wonderful fantasy book with many twists and turns, there was hardly a boring moment in this one. When Meggie, the main character, reads books aloud, she can magically read elements out of the story and into real life. Pretty cool, huh? Imagine if you could read, let's say, your favorite Twilight character out of the story and into your life. I know that I'd certainly enjoy that power!! : )

Not only is the Inkheart series (or trilogy? I'm not sure if there will be another book after Inkdeath) a great read, but the movie will have Brendan Fraser in it!! : D He'll be playing Mo, Meggie's father (who also has the magical ability to read things out of books) and I can't think of an actor that could be more perfect for the role. This upcoming movie (releases this month, as a matter of fact) is definitely a must-see for me, and for my friend Nikki as well.

Speaking of movies, one perk of exam week is that school gets out much earlier than usual, at 11:30 AM. This leaves plenty of extra time to study (haha, right) or goof off with your friends!! : ) GOS, Nikki, and I went and caught a 1:10 PM showing of Bride Wars. Lol, many adults asked us if we were skipping school, and there was hardly anyone else there! x D

If it were up to me, we would NOT have watched Bride Wars! Not usually the type of movie that I'm drawn to *Shrug* but I was impressed. It was funny, it held my interest (which is difficult to achieve), and I actually liked the ending! Overall, an awesome movie for a girls night out (or afternoon, in our case).


I am a fan of Taylor Swift, and I am proud of it. Don't think of me as an all out country girl, but I do enjoy certain coutry-ish music. I love Taylor Swift's songs, I think that they are amazing. They make me want to throw my head back and sing right on with her, which is fun for me, but painful for my family : P

I don't have many allies. All of my friends are pretty extreme about their opinion of Taylor Swift, they either love her or they hate her. GOS and Kelpo love her, Alanna and Synfan hate her. Lol, Nikki is fairly indifferent, and I'm pretty sure that Bubbles is indifferent too.

My favorite songs of hers are Picture to Burn, Should've Said No, The Way I Loved You, You Belong With Me, Love Story, and I'd Lie. I'm very addicted to her songs, I'll admit it : )

~That's all for now, wish me luck on the rest of my exams!
