I'm reading the latest in the Madeline Dare series by Cornelia Read called Valley of Ashes. So far it's not as good as previous books in the series. In my car, I'm "reading" The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks. So far, so good.
I'm not watching much on tv lately. Just waiting for my favorite shows to come back after the holiday specials and reruns (which I don't watch). I recently watched The Dark Knight Rises and Trouble With the Curve on DVD. Both were not as good as I thought they'd be.

Teri Hi!
It worked, hope you can read this from your side! (hope you got my email too from a couple weeks back). Great to see you and hope your Cmas was fun.
I'll have to look into "Room",,,, always looking for a new author to read. I like to watch The Good Wife,, (I like Eli !! ) Our new season shows start in January, not sure what will be shown though,, hoping for Downton Abbey,, it's on the German Channel but I'd rather watch it in English.... (picky picky)
Talk to you soon and hope you can keep posting... gotta go let Coffee in , it's cold outside but she's chasing squirrels (no snow today)... LOL

Suzan: The Dark Knight Rises was sooo long, for one thing and went into a lot of unneeded back story, dragging out those parts way too much. I want superhero action and cool "toys" when I watch a movie like this and I just didn't feel I got enough Batman scenes. I liked the ending though. It had a nice twist and would work either as the end of the series or leave the possibility of another sequel.
I'm sorry to hear The Hobbit got bad reviews. I loved the book and really want to see the movie. The only thing is, when I saw the ads for it, the character of Bilbo Baggins didn't look like I pictured him in the book. I wonder if others thought so and that affected the movie?
I like listening to books in the car. I don't think it's any more distracting than having someone talking to you as you drive. It doesn't work well in situations that need more concentration, though. If I'm lost or in heavy traffic, I tend to lose track of the story, so if I notice that happening I turn the book off till the stress is over. But for long, monotonous drives it really passes the time. It's a little tricky sometimes to change disks when driving, though. I can do it, but need a long straight stretch with no traffic (or, in town, a stop light) to do it, lol.
