I'll get there.<br />I usually don't reread books, however, I did reread Shadows of the Wind, and enjoyed it as much as I did before, maybe more so, since, as you pointed out I knew what was coming. I'm now rereading a Beta story by blogger and book reviewer <a href="http://www.tianevitt.com/weblog/> Tia Nevitt. </a> and I'm enjoying that again. I'll read it again once it's published!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866730185060307014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289273.post-12472036808143047562010-02-17T21:19:47.535+00:002010-02-17T21:19:47.535+00:00Lisa, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!Lisa, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!fairyhedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141089706966852951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289273.post-83634934310786042332010-02-17T19:54:42.928+00:002010-02-17T19:54:42.928+00:00I'm looking forward to seeing this.

Enjoyed it, dazzlingly beautiful, found the 3D a bit annoying and distracting. Not sure I'd go out of my way to see it again, though.<br /><br />I couldn't help thinking that it bore some resemblence to Ursula K.

I do much more of the latter than of the former!<br /><br />Thanks for the Valentine's wishes. I've got some ginger chocolates - but I bought them for myself!

I'd re-read my favourite bits though but I like the first time read and the thrill of the first time read!<br /><br />As for films - I can seriously become so obsessed with the ones I really like I can watch them infinitum! There are 1 or two exceptions - absolutely fab films but so upsetting I can't bring myself to watch them again - Courage Under Fire is one of them. Bambi is another!<br /><br />Happy Valentine's to you and your beloved - hope you are getting lots of chocolates and treats.<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.com
