What are you reading now?

Hate to disappoint, but there are more...all about Anne waiting for her son to come home from the war and such. And all the other characters are connected to anne and her family in some way.

Check out amazon for LM Montgomery books. If I still had them I would send them on...and I would link you but it's a hassle on my bby.

The later movies are -not- true to the books at all.

I did just watch a fantastical movie that is supposed to be both a prequel and sequel to the AoGG series: Aogg: A New Beginning. It was okay, but they totally ripped off Jane Eyre which made me want to throw something at the TV. It's plausible, but not really in Montgomery's vision.

Let me check my compendium for other titles.

Noodle - What are you reading? For a fun (but not to teen-agey) read, check out Ruby in the Smoke and Shadow of the North by Phillip Pullman. I just found out there's a third book and will try to pick that up from the library this week. It's a little bit. Of a mystery set in the UK I believe during the Edwardian era (don't quite remember).

did not know that there were other books past rilla! (and rilla is one of my faves in the series...though I really enjoy the whole bunch of them)

I'm reading a cheesy teen book. I needed an easy read.

Try the "tomorrow when the war began" series by John Marsden" 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow_when_the_war_began
Movie should be out soon .
I think there are about 8 books between the first series and follow up series . The first book is sometimes recommended for Australian high school students as a modern classic.  I think they were written when i had already left high school , so i discovered them as an adult . I would recommend reading them before letting a teen read though as would help if you wanted to discuss any deaths/ sex.
As they are "invasion" and war based yet set in contemporary rural Australia with teens , i can see how powerful these books are for our high school reading program .

movie :

oh , and just saw the tidbit on wiki:
In 2000, the Swedish government selected Tomorrow, When the War Began as the book most likely to inspire a love of reading in young people, and financed the printing and distribution of the novel to teenage school students in the country
I do know i was inspired to read it as it was one of the few books i was unfamiliar with on the list of "100 Best ever kids and teens Books" list . one of our chain book stores ran a promotion with the release of the list and if you bought any 2 books of the list you got one free. i laybyed the whole series at once.

Just found out they are making this into a movie. NOT HAPPY because the lead is Miley Cyrus.

I'm reading a book! 

It's called Strip City by Lily Burana.  It's about a former stripper turned writer who decides before she gets married she's going to take a year and travel the country and dance in different clubs.  It's awesome!

I got The Hunger Games.  I'll start on that one if I ever get done with my current reading project: The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.  It's 12 books total and I'm on book 10 right now.
