I also watch a lot of Netflix and Redbox, because I don't have money for all the movies I like so I have to wait and rent it. :)

Favorite Comedy?

I did go see Kidnap and it does remind of the "Taken" movies a little. But I loved those movies and I do really like Halle Berry. Has anyone else been to the movies lately?

I don't know why you can't nominate. I try to go by what books gets the most votes so since the poll just went up. Can we save your books for the next Indie nominations? I won't forget it!

Poll results-----
Small publishing companies and self published ---have won the poll so we can nominate any of these for when we chose Indie books to read! I will be posting a new poll soon so we have plenty of time to vote for the book we will read starting September! Please nominate your books here so we can vote soon!

Welcome Nellie! Nice to meet you!

I loved the Dark Tower movie and I can't wait to see what they do with the next one. I have not read the books so I can't compare the book with the movie but I must say I enjoyed the movie!

I'm just going to throw this question out there....Since we will be reading this book we select through October, do we want to read something like a thriller or a like more on the scary/Halloween side? What do everyone think?
