I finished!

In about a 24 hour time span I read Water for Elephants.  Did I talk to my husband on Friday night?  Nope.  We both geeked out.  I sat on the couch and read and he setup his final cut pro buttons.  Sounds like a exciting evening at the Garcia house.

I loved Elephants.  I think it was the perfect book to get me amped about reading again.  On Saturday night we had a double date with his sister and her husband to see the movie.  Did it hold up?  Yes and no.  I hated the beginning, but once it started I was able let go and enjoy.  Of course there were a few things that bugged me about the movie that were twisted just a little bit.  It is Hollywood after all.

Did you see it? What did you think?  Sorry this isn't the most animated review.  I am a little hungover today and in vacation mode-2.5 days until my vacation to Atlanta.  A full Easter recap coming tomorrow.

Water for Elephants

Last night I got this great idea that I should read Water for Elephants before I see the movie.  Great idea right since almost always the book is better than the movie.  Well we have one little problem.  MAG, his sister, her husband and I are all going to see the movie tonight at 8 PM.  What is a girl to do?  Yesterday afternoon I booked it to B&N after work, ran home and started reading.  I am about a third of the way through and my boss is out of town today so I will have most of the day to read.  Have you read the book? Are you going to see the movie?
