    *Also includes 'Books on Both the 1001 and Rory Gilmore Lists'

  12. One of my favourites threads of the year. :)

     

    Here is the Sydney Morning Herald's list, which, as always, is very extensive. It lists both domestic and international publications.

     

    There are many books that look interesting, but I can't say that any jump out as 'I must get this the day it is published'.

     

    I immediately thought of Janet and Talisman when I saw the memoir about the woman who read a book from every country. :)

  13. It's been fun watching movies with my folks during the holidays.

     

    I agree. :) It's so difficult to convince my Mum to sit down and watch a movie (she figures there are more important things she should be doing), but I managed to get her to sit still for 3 whole hours to watch The Sound of Music with me, and it was great!

     

    Watched Saving Mr Banks which was so enjoyable ... even though I know it's total hogwash .. or the ending is anyway.

     

    This is another one I managed to get Mum to watch recently. We both loved it. :) But yes, they did give it a rather happier ending than it should have been. I love that the actual recording of Travers is played over the closing credits.

  14. #58. The Library of Unrequited Love by Sophie Divry 

     

    3/5

     

    I remember you saying that you were disappointed in this book when you originally read it. I think it was only a short while later that I found a copy at the book fair (*cough* I don't believe you've commented on my book fair haul yet *cough*), and I just couldn't pass it up, even with your warning ringing in my head. :) Hopefully I'll like it more than you did!

     

    #59. The Rabbit Back Literature Society by Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen 

     
    5/5

     

    Defo on my wish list. Although I should really read Purge first! (Maybe after you read The Phantom Tollbooth :P)

  15. We watched Evan Almighty last night with my folks. I've been wanting to watch the movie for a long time! Kylie will be happy to know that Mom recognized Lauren Graham and asked me where she's been and I said 'In the Gilmore Girls!" and she smiled and said "Yes, of course". :smile2:

     

    Yay! Awesome Mum. :D

     

    The Sound of Music was on TV tonight, so Mum and I watched it together. I've surely seen this movie dozens of times, but I still noticed things that I've never noticed before! :)

  16. I got home today after a week away to find a book from the Book Depository waiting for me (Christmas Day—perfect timing!) I had ordered it last week but never imagined it would get here before Christmas. Anyway, the book is Diaries and Selected Letters by Mikhail Bulgakov. The BD was selling it for over 50% off for a limited time, so I simply had to get it, you see!

  17. Wow, only 38 books acquired! Congratulations! :D

     

    The Story of Tracy Beaker is the first (and to date, only) book I've read by Jacqueline Wilson. I read it at least several times when I was a kid, and I read it again more recently and still enjoyed it. :)

     

    I don't know of those particular books by Morris Gleitzman, but I used to love two of his books called Worry Warts and Misery Guts, where an English family moves to Australia, and the son always thinks his parents were worried and miserable, so he tries to do things to cheer them up (usually making things worse in the process). I just looked up Gleitzman and apparently there are four 'Toad' books.

  18. Thanks Marie, Pixie and Athena. :) They're such lovely books.  :blush2:

     

    Nice new books!

     

    I especially enjoyed Gone With The Wind and The Grapes of Wrath. :readingtwo:

     

    Thanks Bobbly. GwtW and TGoW are two of my favourite books ever. When I saw that they had been published in hardcovers to celebrate their anniversaries, I added them to my wishlist. They are, I believe, the covers used when they were originally published. I don't often go for hardcovers, but such wonderful books deserve a special place on my shelf.

     

    When my partner gave them to me, I commented that I would keep my old paperbacks to read so I could keep the hardbacks in pristine condition, but he commanded me to read the new hardcovers. :o He doesn't have a 'thing' like I do about looking after books. I suppose I can't damage them too much if I take their dustjackets off first. My copy of GwtW was particularly tatty and ugly, so I won't be sorry to get rid of it. :D

  19. Daaaamn! I've been waiting for you to hassle me about this earlier!! I really want to read it, but I have tooooo many library books. I'm still finding the novelty of new libraries and different selections a great way to pass my time that I need a good nudge to read something else besides the library books :blush:

    You don't have to wait for me to hassle you...just read it!! :D

     

    I read Girl, Interrupted this week. I went in with low expectations so I was very pleasantly surprised. I had a couple of niggles, but overall I really enjoyed it. I was even surprised to find some parts of the movie in there; I had assumed that the book and the movie would be nothing like.
