Same here. I read all those books in less than 2 days they were so good.

I read Jodi Picoults The Pact in about 3 days, Handle with care in about 2 days. For some reason I can read her books very easiily but her latest one House Rules I couldnt' get in to. I should give it a go one more time. Oh and Plain Truth took me awhile to get through.
I also read It's kind of a funny story in 2 days. That was a pretty good book to. Still haven't seen the movie but I really want to. I actually only read it after I found out Lauren Graham was playing one of the characters! I wanted to make sure I read it before I saw the movie.

I haven't read that book but I wanted to read it before I saw the movie. I usually like reading books before movies because the movie is always worse in my opinion.

Speaking of The Lovely Bones, I saw that movie last weekend. I loved it. It was so sad and beautiful. And visually stunning. Peter Jackson is amazing.

Oh I know that movie was amazing! I watched it a while ago when it first came out. Peter Jackson really is wonderful

Yeah Lovely Bones was a great book. Movie was pretty good but they did leave alot out...guess though for me that was okay. I didn't want to see all that affair stuff go on w/ the mom.
Lovely Bones actually filmed near my house. I got to meet Mark Wahlberg. I actually have set pictures of the scenes when they're at the mallbefore filming began. It was so cool.

edit: here are just a few of the pics!
This is Rachel Weisz and Mark on set.








I actually got my picture with Mark but I look horrible. Mind you it was about 20 degrees outside and my face was showing the cold!! lol

Yes, books before the movie - always. I wasn't too fond of the movie but the book had me captivated. I bought another Alice Sebold book called "Lucky" but I haven't had a chance to read it because of school. Can't wait until it's all over and done with so I get back to leisurely reading.

Transformers was/is filming in Chicago. A lot of my friends have gotten some great photos of our bridges "up in smoke" And I walked by an alley in Dunkin Donuts where they were filming a scene that looks like it's an exterior of a club? I wasn't too excited i just wanted to go home at the moment

Of the things that were due this week, I did get stuff done. Now comes the 5 and 10 page papers Thanks guys

I actually went to an open call for Transformers 2. The line was horrendously long and then a major storm started to come our way so they rushed everyone out of line and started to grab all the really tall pretty girls and hot guys out of line and told the rest of us to go home. I was so furious. First and last time I'll do that again.

UpInFlames

Are you serious? That is outrageous! I would have just marched right in

Speaking of movies and open calls. I got to be an extra in the movie The Killing Floor with Shiri Appleby and Marc Blucas. It was my first time I got to be in the same room as Shiri. I was so bad they cut me out of the movie.
