On her blog, the Francesca Files, the author shares some of her favorite books and even invites others to help her decide what her next read should be!
There was a time when I used to read, read and read some more for pleasure… these days, I’m more likely to plop in front of my laptop screen, get comfy in my bed and watch a good movie or two on a rainy afternoon.
Given this, you can only imagine my excitement when this little puppy comes in the mail every couple of days:
It is the regular, little highlight of my weekend. A bit of joy and excitement that almost always puts me in a good mood.
Just recently, I watched Robin Hood (the version with Russell Crowe). It was fantastic! Check out the trailer:
Another movie that I just watched and really enjoyed (which sorta surprised me) was Just Wright with Queen Latifah and Common:
It’s a light and funny love story. Just the right mix to put you in a good mood.
Want a movie that will really make you think?? Check out The Virgin Suicides. Don’t let the title scare you. It’s a real coming of age type of film that addresses some really interesting themes:
This is another one that surprised me with how good it was. I think that’s mostly because I always have to give a side-eye to films that are heavily promoted by family. Of course YOUR gonna say this is a great film to go watch… but I have to see it for myself to be sure. Thankfully, The Karate Kid didn’t disappoint and actually exceeded my expectations:
And while I questioned Jaden Smith’s acting chops, turns out the talent didn’t fall far from the Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith tree (not to mention Willow).
