So I spent yesterday reading Hero by Perry Moore and oh man, I just kind of want to live in this world forever and read about Thom's adventures and about him and Goran and yeah, I just really loved it. And the reason I bought the book is that it's being developed into a TV show for Showtime and it sounded like something I would really love and now I desperately need this TV show, like, now. Also, I read that Perry Moore is definitely planning on writing a sequel and maybe more, and that makes me very happy. Of course, all this is a ways off, unfortunately.

I realized, though, that out of 14 books I've read this year, 9 have been for school. That's kind of awful for me. I love reading and I used to read so much more, but I just didn't have time for it during school. I don't really have any excuse for reading only one or two books over the summer, though. blah. I also realized I've only seen 82 movies this year. I'm definitely not going to make 150 like I was thinking back in January, but it shouldn't be too hard to reach 100. I'm still disappointed in how few books I've read this year, though. I need to work on that next year.

Anyways, I made Christmas cookies with my mom earlier and I'm going to dinner with my parents tonight, but before that I think I'm going to watch a movie.

I've had that book for a good year and have yet to read it. And since the tv series was announced, I keep glancing over at it but then stopping myself because I need to finish my 100 movies for 2008. (But then I don't even end up doing that. ARGH. I am so lazy.)

I mean, it's not the most brilliant book ever written or anything, but I just thought it was incredibly enjoyable. But I'm the same way, like I've had the urge to read nearly all semester and haven't had time to but now I'm like "No, I shouldn't read, I need to watch more movies so I can get to 100 because I'm so close!" Except I let myself read that book. But now I'm probably just going to watch movies until I get to 100, and then I can read and do other stuff.
