20. Bridge To Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. This book is an old favorite of mine. The story is so realistic and while very sad, it just rings true. I'm not looking forward to the film.(163)

20. Bridge To Terabithia was one of my favorites as a child. I remember it was the first book that too my breath away and made me cry. I saw the previews for the movie and was like "huh?????" I don't remember the book being like that! But, then again it has been almost 20 years since i last read it. Do you think they will change the ending for the movie?

Ender's Game! My fiancee kept pestering me to read this. I am not a huge sci-fi fan, so I kept saying "later" But, oh my goodness!! I fell in love with this book!!!!

Yeah, Bridge to Terabithia was definitely not like the preview for the film shows. But I've read other things online that say the preview is misleading and the actual film follows the book more closely. I guess we'll just have to wait & see. I will be VERY angry if the ending is changed - that would just be wrong.

I'm not a big sci-fi fan either, but I love Ender's Game & most of the books after it. Ender's Shadow is seriously good, too.

No, there was no "real magic" in the book. It was just Jess & Leslie using their imaginations. I am seriously hoping that the movie trailers are just misleading. I've read things that say what looks like "real magic" in the movie is just their imaginations made more interesting for the sake of the film.

I'm reading The Friday Night Knitting Club right now, and it sounds an awful like your 24 & 25.
