Books I've Read
Me, Suzy P. by Karen Saunders
Children's, 9 years +
(For once my favourite character isn't the protagonist but her hyperactive best friend, her slightly dippy older sister and Prank Princess younger sister!)
8/10
Swordspell by C J Busby
Children's, 7 years +
(A delightful Arthurian tale involving a talking duck, a fearsome lady squire and a magician's apprentice...)
10/10
The One Dollar Horse by Lauren St John
Children's, 8 years +
(This is both a heartbreaking and a heartwarming read about a girl who adores her horse no matter what life throws at her.)
10/10
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Young Adult
Release Date: February 2013
(I found so much to relate to with Hazel; some of her thoughts mirrored my own regarding chronic illness...)
9/10
The Man From the Land of Fandango by Margaret Muhy
Children's, Picture book
(This book alternated between being cute and being freaky...)
6/10
Films
Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper
French version, Animated
9/10
I was slightly surprised how engrossed I got into the tale of two girls both wanting freedom from their respective lives...
Barbie: Rapunzel
French version, Animated
6/10
Barbie films seem to be hit and miss: there were charming parts, but quite a lot was too dark for me, plus it seemed to have several fairy tales in it, not just Rapunzel's...
Shugo Chara!
Anime
10/10
At last Iru gets some air time!!!!!
Cendrillon
French version, Anime
10/10
This fab series about Cinderella is way better than the Disney version - Cendrillion is smart, has friends (including animals) and is full of kindness...
Labour Pains
Film, starring Lindsey Lohan
8/10
I watched this while feeling very bleh, it was quite funny and definitely not a difficult plot to follow.
Confessions of A Shopaholic
Film
8/10
Another film watched while feeling bleh, the plot was pretty clever in places...
Charlotte aux Fraises Aventures aux Fraisi Paradis (Strawberry Shortcake)
Anime
French & 2009 version
10/10
The girls learn when buying gifts for others, buy what the recipient wants, not what you like!
Tinker Bell and the Secret of the Wings
Animated film
10/10
This is an epic Tinker Bell movie - she has a sister! You will need tissues...
Games

Its cool to see you joining in on this fun meme and I hope you stop by and link up so others can come visit you too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Fault In Our Stars!
I saw that Tinker Bell movie too due to younger sisters--it was good, wasn't it? I was kind of surprised I liked it so much!
ReplyDeleteSheila - I'll try to remember to link up at the weekend when I sort my blog out. It's a fun meme!
ReplyDeleteAli - I adore Tink so fully expected to love it - didn't realise how much I'd love it though!
