Tagged

Kelly created this I think and because I read it, I guess I'm tagged to do it. I don't mind because I think it's fun to do things like this once in a while! Ok here goes...

5 favourite movies

  • Pride and Prejudice
  • The Notebook
  • Beyond Borders
  • While you were sleeping
  • Sleepless in Seattle
4 favourite Books (only 4???)
  • Blue Like Jazz - Donald Miller (expect a post dedicated to this book alone soon, loving it so much!)
  • Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion - Jane Austin (I know that's 3 but I'm restricted to 4 total)
  • Daring to Draw Near - John White (it's a book on prayer, each chapter taking a different person from the bible and discussing how they related to God....eye opening!)
  • A Handmaids Tale, The Blind Assasin - Margret Atwood (I read a Handmaids Tale when I was too yound to understand it (12) because I wanted to read something modern, critically acclaimed and gritty, I've since read it at least 3 times. I once wrote an essay comparing it to Little Women when I was 15 and later one about oppression of women and the portrayal of sexuality and religion in this and 'The Color Purple')
  • obviously the Bible surpasses all of these

Awwwww...!!! I loved reading your list. I used to hate these tag things, but am getting to like them. It is neat to see what others are into. I have been wanting to rent Pride and Prejudice, so I may just do that. Is that keira knightley? Have a good day-

love your slide show- isnt that neat? There are so many new things to add to blogs. I like your radio station also. Very cool. I am sick and therefore had way too much spare time at night to work on the computer.
