"Stop! We need to go back! I forgot my pocket handkerchief."
Instead of doing a New Year's resolution post I am going to be authory and geeky and do a 2012 Books and Movies Which Stood Out To Me Post. These books I mostly read in the last two months. I didn't do a lot of reading the beginning of the year - maybe five books all told. I read more in a month then most of the year...But all of these books have become some of my favourites. And the movies I've likely already talked about, but they deserve to be talked about again.
Howl's Moving Castle:
Because I grew very fond of Howl in spite of his green slime temper. When he raced out to save his family I almost squealed. And Sophie was amazing. I adored her. As well as Michael, Calficer, and all the others. Wonderful characters.
Seraphina:
This book stumped all my expectations. Kiggs was amazing and I loved Phina. I even wouldn't mind an uncle like Omar.
Nicolas St. North:
A sword wielding thief who doesn't hesitate to help those in need. Hm...need I say more?
Mothstorm:
A very nice way to say goodbye to Art, Jack, and Myrtle. I didn't feel as if I was really saying goodbye, more like, I will see you soon. Which is less sad then goodbye.
The Invisible Man:
A surprisingly rather funny adventure. Though by the end of it I felt bad for Griffin.
The Search for WondLa
Science Fiction at its finest. This is one book I am glad I didn't quit reading. And one I was sad when it ended.
Toothiana: Queen of the Tooth Fairy Armies:
North, Bunnymund, Kathrine, Nightlight - all of them back, all of them battling Pitch. And the best part? North and Bunnymund.
Sew, It's a Quest:
A new telling of Robin Hood. Twins with mixed up gifts. Quests. Swords. Fairy tales. A very fun book.
Rise of the Guardians:
Jack Frost, North, lots of cold and snow. Hugh Jackman as a giant boomerang wielding bunny...all the mixings for a good movie
The Hobbit:
Right, I needn't go on, need I?
The Avengers:
Aliens, a bunch of superheroes having to work together to save the world. Hawkeye, a Lord of the Rings reference, Tony Stark having to work together with Rodgers. Nick Fury who never smiled because he couldn't see the movie in 3D. And an appearance by Dick Van Dyke.
Brave:
Scotland. A dad who has a sense of humor and picked on his daughter's suitors almost more then his daughter. A cute mother and daughter story. Very cool music. And a heroine with wild, red curls.
This will be my last post until after New Years. I will be back on the second with some book reviews, then the completion of the Blog Party! After that, I should be ready to share news about Book Two in my series. So, I hope you all have a very Happy New Years! And a very fun New Years Eve!
What about you? Which books and movies have stood out to you this year? Any you are looking forward to next year?
Allons-y!
