Another List to Share, ThisOne More Literate





Books Books Books!

I confess, I read books. In fact, my life seems to be very much dependent on them. Why, as of right now, I can honestly say that every corner of my life is adding more and more books to my list of To Be Reads.

This is not to say I don't love books. I most certainly do. I've been reading books habituouly since ever I could read. (Yes, I just said 'ever could I read'.)

So, sticking with the whole List theme of late, here are a couple of lists for you to ponder:


Books I've Greatly Enjoyed: (in no order of preference)
























Book Lists Continued:

And then, here are the books I HAVE to read. Not to say I don't want to read them ever but I hate feeling like I HAVE to do anything. So even though I'm still enjoying them, I feel like some of that joy is stolen by the necessity of it all.






Last but not Least:

And then Finally here are an assortment of the books that I still really want to read but haven't yet.

Quick review of movies that we all love this season.

This is good stuff too:




And of course:



Yeah, I know these are only a few, and I couldn't find clips for all of them, just trailers, but I still love them. And seeing as this is already late coming out, I'm not going to take time to list the many more that come to mind.

Happy Belated Christmas!
