I almost forgot!

I sent a greeting card earlier this week! I sent a thank you note to my former coworkers, for the lovely gifts they sent me. I love sending cards!

Just two more books left in the Tudor Court series!

I finished The Queen's Fool by Phillipa Gregory, the fourth book in the Tudor Court series. This book was a little different than the others, because the main character wasn't a historical figure. The main character and her family were all fictional, but based on people and situations that actually happened. As usual the book centered a lot around the English court, this one taking place after the death of King Henry VIII. I wasn't sure I'd like a book featuring a psychic as the main character, but the book was similar enough to her others for me to enjoy.

Another movie!

At least this one is sort of new! Today I watched Star Trek Into Darkness. I'm not super into Star Trek, I've watched some of the original series and various other episodes, and I hadn't even seen the 2009 movie. But I did really enjoy this one! Benedict Cumberbatch was excellent, and Chris Pine was freaking gorgeous. It was a good movie on it's own, and I think the more you know about Star Trek, the more you'll understand about this movie. There were a lot of things that probably went over my head, but I still really liked it. Now I definitely want to watch the 2009 movie!

Another book down!

Today I finished the Wizard of Oz book. Yes, it's a children's story, but it's such a classic that I wanted to read it! I was really curious to see how it's different from the movie, and it is very different. I really liked the story, even though it was slow at parts. I can see why it's considered such a classic- it's so timeless and universally appealing. Normally I'd start an ebook next, but the next one doesn't come out until later in the month! So next up is another Phillipa Gregory, in the same series I've been reading.

Another (not so) New Movie!

Today I watched Big Fish, which I've been meaning to watch for ages. It was a cute movie, but I wanted to watch something fun today and this was definitely sad in parts. I cried at the end, and while I liked the movie, it wasn't really what I was wanting to watch today. I think if I'd been in the mood for this kind of movie, I would have loved it.

I donated some more things!

Last time I was at Soma, I noticed that they had a big box for donations. When we asked about it, they said that they accept donations of old bras to give to women's shelters. I have a ton of old bras that someone might be able to use, so last time I was at the mall I brought three in to give to them. They were so happy to receive the donation! If you have a Soma shop near you, check to see if they take old bras too! I'm sure you have some laying around!

Another ebook done!

I finished another Doctor Who ebook, this one was for the 8th Doctor. The story was decent, but this was the first time that I really noticed the writing style, and not in a good way. I don't really know much about the Eight Doctor, and between that and the writing, I didn't like this book so far. Next up is something very different, so maybe that'll be a nice change.
