Books and Movies from April

I am continuing on with the 50 Book Challenge from my local library - I am now up to 26 books! I am really enjoying my renewed commitment to reading - both for information and pure delight! Here are the books that I read in April:

• Run For Your Life by James Patterson - ***
• Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes - **** (I read this because it will be an assigned book for my daughter during our American Revolution unit next school year. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The historical references were well-done and interesting and the character development was excellent.)
• Night Play by Sherrilyn Kenyon - ***
• Seize the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon - ***

I managed to watch quite a few movies in April - many on the treadmill! Here are the movies I watched in April.

• The Core - ***
• The Notebook - ****
• Sweet Land - ****
• Stranger Than Fiction - ***
• Signs - ****
• Highlander 3: The Final Dimension - ***
• Earth - ****
• Elektra - *
• The Changeling - *** (This movie was excellent but it was incredibly disturbing.)
• The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice - ***
