Books & Other Goals for 2011

New year, new sticky post for books, movies, and (new this year) weight loss!

Pre-Little J, mr_j and I were movie-watching fiends. Then last year, I totally fell off the wagon of watching any movie in its entirety. That's what having a baby does to your previously luxurious life. Conditions improved once Netflix made streaming available for Wii, but I

Oh I ♥ the Narnia books! :D My favorite is probably Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The Magician's Nephew is good, too. That one explains the origins of Narnia and how some other things in the first book came to be. :D

Now I want to re-read that series, but I don't have a clue where any of my books are. :(

Yep. Exactly! And that's why I only read 20 last year instead of my goal of 50. But maybe some books on tape? If you have a tape player, I will totally send you my Narnia books on tape to satisfy your craving! There's four: Lion, Witch & Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, Voyage of Dawn Treader, and Silver Chair.

Thanks! But I'm not big on audio books, TBH. I like reading and imagining the words being said a certain way rather than having the tone of voice already set a certain way, KWIM? :) I might just buy the collection from Amazon as an e-book (I have kindle for PC, at least on the comptuer, might have it on the laptop too) if it's available. And then maybe I'll get around to reading it again one day. Maybe I'll read them to Naomi when she's old enough. I loved LW&W as a kid, but I didn't *get* it at all, haha. That happened when the movie came out, and that's when I dug out my book set and actually read them. Then the second one seriously disappointed me. I'm really hoping the third one is better, since it's my favorite of the books.

I started working on PC again today. I picked it up off my nightstand and I had to dust it off! :'( Pitiful.
