Books and Movies
Has anyone seen the movie The Golden Compass? I was watching it yesterday and I did enjoy it, but the way it ended just doesn’t settle with me. Is there a sequel to it or something? I was thinking about checking if there’s a book to because nowadays movies tend to have books. I mean they just can’t end it like that and not talk about a sequel. The little child has probably grown up more.
Speaking of books, has anyone read the book Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult? We’re currently reading it right now. I haven’t gotten as far as I should have so I can’t tell you much about it. I do know though that it’s a really good book, It focuses on the events leading up to and following a high school shooting. Something tells me we’ll be having a prompt on a few pages today…fun right? Our teacher loves us like that. I should keep reading it, hopefully I’ll get to page 88 soon (I’m 11). I procrastinated and look where it got me…..just awesome.

Ahh I have only read one of Jodi Picoult’s books; it was My Sister’s Keeper. And no I haven’t seen the movie. I heard that it ruined the book so I don’t think I’ll bother. Jodi is a really good author though.
I think someone already nicked the name “heartdrops” on Twitter. I hate when that happens and I find it annoying to use numbers or “x” or an underscore so I just don’t bother. xP
I haven’t watched the Golden Compass but I think my friend has. It was a while ago though, and I haven’t talked to her in a while. Some movies just make no sense.
Hey hey welcome back!
My next break is just a mini break in the middle of semester, and it’s at the end of April. I can’t wait, though it’s mostly just gonna be spent at home working on the assignments they give us. Can’t believe it’s called a break.
I don’t think I could work with people very well. I know my university course is all about working with people but I just don’t think I’d do so well in the real world.
I hate bus drivers most of the time. They are really nasty, selfish and mean. I think the guy didn’t let us on because he didn’t think there was enough room but in my opinion there was a lot of room. -_-

Hey Isi! *Hugs* Welcome back!
As usual, brilliant job with the layout. Black rules. <3
Yes, I have read/seen the Golden Compass. Its a trilogy (books), but am not so sure whether the sequel (The Subtle Knife) has been turned into a movie. You can google it, of course. I didn't particularly like the movie because it was very different from what I'd imagined but the books are awesome. You should definitely give them a try.
I have read a lot of books by Jodi Picoult but I am yet to arrive on Nineteen Minutes. The thing is, she makes me cry a lot. I remember I read this book called "The Songs of The Humpback Whale" and I must have howled for days. It might have made me sink into permanent depression, because it is that powerful. Let me now how Nineteen Minutes is and I might give it a try.
Take care.
XD

To be honest, I don’t like them. I’ve wanted to read Nineteen Minutes for a while, but kept forgetting about it!
