Re: Friday Night GTKY
my books are The Time Travelers Wife & The Harry Potter series
my movies are Love, Actually, the Back to the Future movies, and Harry Potter
I love the Harry Potter series. I have also read all the Princess Diaries books, as well as Meg Cabot's Heather Wells series. For audio books, I really enjoyed the Royal Spyness series. It was fun.
ETA: I read this wrong. Thought it was just series.
I am tired. I also LOVE and have read Pride and Prejudice a bunch of times, as well as Little Women.
Time Traveller's Wife
The Alchemist
Anything by Diana Gabaldon (fab historical fiction with some great erotica thrown in)
My super all about me birth story:
Then: Fraternal twins born at 26 weeks in 1983. Me: 640 grams. Brother: 840 grams. Family kept watch in the NICU for 5 months before being allowed to go home. On oxygen for a year and a half after being released.
Now: Me: PhD student and married. Brother: Lawyer and married.
Dad's wedding speech: Thank you to all the family who stood watch and prayed for our children's survival. Well now the little scrawny chicken is married. Who would've thought? (Thanks dad for making me laugh and cry at the same time).
My BFP Chart
I never get tired of the Harry Potter books - they get better every time I read them. The Outlander series is another all time favorite, along with any of Alison Weir's Tudor books. (I actually prefer her to Philippa Gregory, though I enjoy hers too.) Pillars of the Earth and World Without End are also favorites. I could go on and on!

Harry Potter here, too and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Movies include Notting Hill, Clueless, and Finding Neverland.
Yay for Clueless!! DH and I could watch that, Forgetting Sarah Marshall...basically any movie with Paul Rudd all day any day.

I have had a major major crush on Paul Rudd since Clueless... I LOVE him in Role Models...
also an excellent book... the movie comes out soon(ish) and looks great
2. Pretty Woman and Steel Magnolias
Joe and Ashley ~ June 16, 2007 ~ Olivia Rae ~ May 12, 2008 ~ 9:06 pm ~ 8lbs 4oz ~ 20.5 inches ~ Miscarriage of twins ~ April 16, 2009 at 6 weeks. ~ Surprise BFP 6/23/09 13DPO ~ Eleanor Rose ~ February 18, 2010 ~ 6lbs 15oz ~ 20 inches ~ Caroline Ruth ~ February 19, 2013 ~ 6lbs 12 oz ~ 19 1/4 inches
Our family is complete!
I could read the Harry Potter series over and over and over...and I do
.
I will also never get sick of Friends or Boy Meets World (I have the entire series on DVD).
I'll have to try Alison Weir. I've read "The Other Boleyn Girl" many, many times and love books about the Tudors so sounds like I'd like her!
The Harry Potter Series - so excited it is finally on Kindle! Pride and Prejudice, and The Stand (probably the most battered paperback that I own).
Movies - Iron Man, Kick Ass, Scott Pilgrim, and three movies that always suck me in if I stumble across them on tv - The Other Guys (best one-liners ever), Dinner for Schmucks, and Get HIm to the Greek.
The day the Bump died - Jasper is wise
Ok so I have a confession...I just started reading Harry Potter yesterday! For the first time. I hope I love it as much as you all do.
Movies- Love Actually, Serendipity, Pretty Woman
Good GTKY!
Book: Pride & Prejudice, Harry Potter
Movie: Pride & Prejudice (both BBC and the newer one with Keira Knightly) and Love Actually.
I know!! I am DYING to see it, but also nervous. I sometimes hate the movies that books I love become...
I LOVE the BBC version of P&P. Colin Firth is my Mr. Darcy.
I could read Gone With the Wind over and over and over again.
And watch it too!

What's a book or book series you never get sick of re-reading? I may get flamed for this haha - but I never tire of the twilight series. I love the cheesy corniness of it all. But in all reality, I usually don't get into series because I never finish them, I usually read random books instead - mostly spiritual or paranormal if anything. And I've only read the first 3 harry potter books when they first came out.
If you're not a reader, is there a movie/movie series you never tire of? Ice Age, Toy Story, anything Disney. haha.
Hey there. Stay away from my man!
I've watched that miniseries so. many. times. I swear it got me through law school.

LOL. A good way to get through law school! He is just the best in that. I seriously watch the miniseries at least once a year.
You will love her!!!

I'm a huge fan of reading! I love The Dark Tower series by Stephen King and I also love A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.
As for movies, I can watch Garden State over and over... and The Notebook (also a good book!)
Books: Twilight-- yes I am a Twilight fan!
Movies: The Goonies, The Notebook, and Ace Ventura Pet Detective
Books: Hunger Games. Those are actually the only books I've read through twice I think. I want to read The Shack again just cause it was such an interesting way to look at God (though I don't see Him as a black woman...haha...) just a cool twist on perspective.
Movies: Newsies (over and over!!), the first Chronicles of Narnia (I couldn't get through the first book tho for some reason), Princess Bride, and The Holiday (to name a few
)
Darn it!! I should have said Garden State, too!! Love that movie!!!!
im on the twlight train! lol I can read those again and again
as far as movies go... it would have to be Titanic (typical lol) and Dear John
Surprise BFP 6/1/2012
BOOK: Ender's Game, The Hobbit (and most other Tolkien works), Twilight (I'm not ashamed (o:), there are probably others....
MOVIE: It's a Wonderful Life
I also LOVE Iron Man, but could probably get sick of it if I watched it too much...
@pitterpatter my DH LOVES the Dark Tower Series! He always wants me to read it. I think I read the first one - was it Gunslinger? But didn't really get into it.... maybe I should give it another try!

OMG. You're going to LOVE HP. It's such an incredible series.... I actually just started rereading them (again!) never gets old
I have a serious problem with re-reading books...I read new releases, but always go back to old favorites my top five:
1. The count of Monte Cristo by Dumas
2. Roots by Alex Haley
3. The Good Earth by Pearl Buck
4. Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
5. Anything by James Michener (so more like my top 20 list I guess)
I have re-read Harry Potter Series and Hunger Games, I really prefer thrillers though.
My fav movies I never get tired of are Edward Scissor Hands, Romeo & Juliet 1996 version, & Garden State.
The Lord of the Rings (books and movies)
I also loved The Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers but I've only read it once (so far).

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:26-27&33-34
Thank goodness there are some Twilight fans here, I was beginning to worry! I have read them all a number of times and still just love them, especially Breaking Dawn.
For movies I love Little Women, You've Got Mail, The Patriot, Tristan and Isolde and A Knight's Tale to name a few
I am obsessed with Tudor books. I feel like I've read something by Alison Weir but I don't remember!

The Outlander is my all time favorite series. Hands down.
I could do re runs of sex and the city often. Most comedies and anything from the 80s could go on repeat.
