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...
It looks like it will be a great final show.
ReplyDeleteHubs and I just watched this trailer this afternoon. We were speechless for like, five minutes afterwards. It's so bitter sweet! I think this is going to be the best movie yet, but I can't believe it's over. At least when the seventh book came out we still had movies to look forward to. Now it's all done. But I still can't wait to see it!!
ReplyDeleteOH. MY. GOSH. So excited, but sad at the same time. I'm hoping theaters will show Parts 1 and 2 together. How awesome would that be?
ReplyDeleteLooks better than the book (I wasn't a fan of the final one at all). I'm wondering (read: hoping) if they'll cut the epilogue entirely. I'll be happy if they do do that. I always thought that was going to far with the final book. Personally.
ReplyDeleteGosh! I'm so scared for them!
