Fall is my favorite season. Wish I had taken this photo, but alas, it's from Pinterest.
Hey-o! Less than 60 days to prove that I can read 50 books and watch 50 movies in one year. OK, I'm not really trying to prove anything, but I would enjoy the accomplishment. I'll keep this update short and sweet.
Movies
41. Gone Doggy Gone
This screened at San Diego Film Festival and it's a fun, twisted movie that pokes fun at just how much people loooove their dogs.
42. St. Vincent
Bill Murray. Highly recommend. I laughed and cried and laughed some more.
43. The Good Lie
I also highly recommend. I was pretty much teary-eyed throughout the whole movie.
44. The Best of Me
Eh. Nicholas Sparks enthusiasts will dig it.
45. Nightcrawler
One of the most original films I've seen in awhile. Not usually a huge Jake Gyllenhaal fan, but he is fantastic in this.
Books (a measly ONE since my last update)
35. Leaving Time - Jodi Picoult
Psychics. Paranormal. Mystery. It's like Jodi Picoult surveyed me and asked, "Courtney, what is it that you want?" This was one of my favorites of hers in a long time and is reminiscent of her earlier work. She has changed publishing houses and editors, which may or may not be one of the reasons.
35 1/2. Catch-22 - Joseph Heller
I read most of the beginning and then started to read from the back, so there's a whole middle section I skipped because I couldn't get into this book, but I really wanted to.
I know I'll reach my movie goal, but can I make it through 15 more books?
