And I am strickly a YA reader these days. But before I got into young adult, I loved chic-lit. Anyway, I haven't seen the movie yet because I'm afraid it might taint how I feel about the book. The book was just so amazing that I know it can't be topped. And I loved Something Blue too. Although, I haven't been crazy about any of Emily Giffin's other novels.sarah darlingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196799264698933899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-1230244447626609562011-05-20T11:31:40.672-06:002011-05-20T11:31:40.672-06:00Kaye,, That TOTALLY counts! you'd be surprised...Kaye,, That TOTALLY counts! you'd be surprised how many people haven't even heard of what movies are out there. <br /><br />Selina, Yes, weird is the best way to describe it. Weird, weird, weird!<br /><br />iluvreadingtoomuch, I haven't see The Pianist and Rio looked cute but I haven't seen it yet either. You should see Something Borrowed, I liked it. <br /> <br />TheBookGirl, I'm glad you agreed with me about Dex, I wanted to dislike him but I couldn't. What a great actor! You should read Something Blue, it made me able to handle Darcy in the movie cause I knew she got better. And, yeah, she did act like she was reprising her role in Bridesmaids!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-68663903653970123132011-05-20T07:38:44.701-06:002011-05-20T07:38:44.701-06:00I went to see Something borrowed earlier this week...I went to see Something borrowed earlier this week. Had not read the book, so I didn't have any preconceived notions. I too liked Dex; I think the actor did a great job making him vulnerable, but I can see how he might have come off worse in the book.<br />I now want to read Something Blue to see how Darcy's story ends. Kate Hudson was just okay I thought; she seemed to be reprising her role in Bride Wars though.TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-43448449031391763632011-05-20T01:55:46.906-06:002011-05-20T01:55:46.906-06:00I think Something Borrowed sounds really good, and...I think Something Borrowed sounds really good, and Hanna looks intense! the last movie I watched was Rio, which was really cute and funny, and The Pianist for school...which was a sad sad SAD movie (fantastic though!) :( Thanks for your thoughts, and I think I should really plan to go see Something Borrowed! :DiLuvReadingTooMuchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962810495895906639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-28875564799652326912011-05-19T09:10:02.153-06:002011-05-19T09:10:02.153-06:00I just watched Hanna this week and it was so diffe...I just watched Hanna this week and it was so different from what I expected.

It's my favorite book so far this year. You can also get a free download of the prequel to <i>The Girl in the Steel Corset</i>. I read it this morning and liked it a lot. Enjoy!Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596812416767312602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-56795005119627409322011-05-18T11:43:56.696-06:002011-05-18T11:43:56.696-06:00Never heard of Hanna and I may want to see Somethi...Never heard of Hanna and I may want to see Something Borrowed just for Jim, I mean John. And Thor was fun, a bit silly-ish, but fun. Awesome special effects, which is what movies are all about sometimes, right?

That's what my husband and I are guessing.<br /><br />The most recent movie we've seen is Thor. Wow! It was fantastic and boy did Chris Hemsworth look good!Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.com
