This year really came through reading-wise. Initially, I didn't know what to expect. And I think I was a little surprised to find myself feeling a strong pull right from the beginning of the year to published books. I tried quite a few new-to-me authors with more abandon than I have in recent years—something I'm proud of and hope to continue. Not all of them worked in just an Angie-like way, but regret never entered the room. I passed them on. To the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood, to the used bookstore down the street that I love, to my own public library in donations. Someone will love them. It didn't have to be me. And I loved giving them that little push along their way to the homes of the people who would soak up their words and hold them tight. What a gift books are. How much I need them and how grateful I am at the end of this year for the ones that came and continued on their way—but most especially for the ones that came to stay. And so, as has long bee...
Spock was my first (and probably longest-running) fictional character crush. So the new movie made me happy.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first time recently that I haven't felt let down by a remake.
deety, that makes me so happy. I have always loved Spock. And I completely agree. It was unbelievably refreshing (and so rare lately) to have my expectations exceeded. I wanna see it again!
ReplyDeleteyesss, loved it too. i must say scotty was my fave!
ReplyDeletebabysitter is being arranged. i must see.
ReplyDeletevvb32 reads, Scott was hilarious. He came in at just the right time.
ReplyDeleteLiza, it's SO good. I get all happy just remembering. :)
Yes I loved it, too, and loved Spock, too! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely go see it again!
ReplyDeleteWe were going to finally catch Wolverine last weekend, but that character isn't exactly my favorite of the X-Men so I suggested we just watch Star Trek again instead.
It was still just as good the second time around.
Amy, it's all about the Spock.
ReplyDeletedeety, good to hear! I haven't seen Wolverine but it just didn't look anywhere near as good as Star Trek.
