In my defense they both involve time-traveling romances. Vikings, scots, same difference... okay my bad. <br />Maybe I will have to pick up that book one of these days.Emily Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771345161030707976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-25845964213975409212010-03-29T16:14:46.592-04:002010-03-29T16:14:46.592-04:00I am onboard the Enders Game train, but I hear the...I am onboard the Enders Game train, but I hear there actually is a movie in the works. I have a feeling it would be terrible but I would be happy to be wrong.<br /><br />Also, Outlander WAS made into a movie. A wonderfully horrible movie, you know the kind. Bad, but a fun kind of bad. And it had Jesus in it.<br /><br />The movie I would like to see is Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising, and yes I know it was already a movie but that... thing was just a travesty that hardly had any likeness to the book. It was almost unwatchably bad, and it had the ninth doctor in it, and I still hated it! Cooper's series is one of my favorites since I was a wee thing and I would really like a film to do the book justice.Emily Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771345161030707976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-61799431030484360932010-03-28T10:10:09.798-04:002010-03-28T10:10:09.798-04:00Tithe by Holly Black or Wicked Lovely by Melissa M...Tithe by Holly Black or Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr - gotta love those fairies!Susan Fieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433408456603462774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-21067872035271447872010-03-28T00:18:19.521-04:002010-03-28T00:18:19.521-04:00I'd like to see The Thirteenth Tale as a movie...I'd like to see The Thirteenth Tale as a movie.

They made "The Shell Seekers" into a TV movie starring Angela Lansbury, and I think it was one of her best roles ever. "Coming Home" is a coming-of-age story about a young woman on the homefront during WWII, who is stranded in Britain while the rest of her family is stranded in Sri Lanka or someplace like that. She eventually ends up in the Pacific as a WAC. But it's so beautifully written and has such moving characterizations. I'm not a big fan of sweeping dramas (because my life is one) but I really enjoyed "Coming Home."Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-66125245641777208862010-03-27T09:19:22.754-04:002010-03-27T09:19:22.754-04:00Wendy, The Thorn Birds was an oft-rerun miniseries...Wendy, <b>The Thorn Birds</b> was an oft-rerun miniseries starring Richard Chamberlain, first aired in 1983.
