I love films and have just treated myself to an Unlimited Card for Cineworld so I'll be watching lots more now. In no particular order.... Lord of the Rings (All 3) To Kill a Mocking Bird A Big Country (Love Gregory Peck) Master and Commander Gladiator The Godfather (1 and 2) Goodfellas Mrs Brown (Made for TV I think) James Bond films starring Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and especially Daniel Craig The Quiet Man True Grit The Green Mile Philadelphia Cast Away Big Forest Gump Saving Private Ryan Schindler's List Rob Roy Braveheart Dances With Wolves Ace Ventura Pet Detective The Mask Me, Myself and Irene Jerry McGuire (Show Me the Money!!!) Born on the 4th July Sense and Sensibility Emma Peter's Friends 4 Weddings and a Funeral Love Actually About a Boy Bridget Jones' Diary I'm sure there's lost more .....

I read the Twilight series and really enjoyed them. I like to read YA books so that I know what I'm talking about when kids at school come into the Library and ask me "have you got any good books Miss?" I'm erm........ 44 by the way .....

Thanks for all the replies and the lovely welcome. What a nice bunch of book lovers you are! I do quite often feel like I've got the best job in the world. I also work as a Teaching Assistant so I get to spend some part of the day in the classroom with the kids and the other part of the day in the Library so I feel like I get the best of both worlds. Because I'm part of what goes on in the lessons I can find the best books to support the kids research etc. The kids all think I'm a bit mad because I get so enthusiastic about anything to do with books and reading. For World Book Day we had a week of book based events, quizzes and stuff and then a dress up day where the kids could come to school dressed as any character from a book. It was fab!

Hi I'm Ali and I'm so glad I found this forum of fellow book lovers. I've lurked a bit but decided to take the plunge and say hello. I work as a school librarian so I get to work with books all day which is great! I'm currently undertaking an English Literature Degree with the Open University so there's lots of reading to do for that. I also have piles and piles of books by the side of my bed (and scattered all over the house) waiting to be read. Why are there not more hours in the day?! I love books - all genres and will give anything a go depending what mood I'm in. I'm reading Primo Levi's If this is a Man/The Truce at the moment. Last week I had a day off work ill and just lay on the sofa reading (and feeling sorry for myself) and I read 'Things I Want My Daughters to Know' by Elizabeth Noble. It was a lovely read and had me sobbing buckets at a few points. Well that's a little about me. Have a great day everyone.
