I have recently become obsessed with "Les Miserables". We saw a school performance of it at a school in our neighborhood and I LOVED the music. They are coming out with a movie of it this December and I am really excited! I may actually like it more that "Lord of the Rings"! If you haven't seen it, you should.
Elisabeth would like to recommend Divine Comedy, an comedy group by BYU. This is a link to just a few of their videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRgyhu0KLyI&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLDBDC36AF525139F0
I love the book, "The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman, a twist on "The Jungle Book". Our dad read it to us at night for a while. If you don't want to be too scared, I would recommend skipping the first chapter until the end. Here is Neil Gaiman's summary of it:
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy.
He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead.
There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy--an ancient Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer.
But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack--who has already killed Bod's family....
Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times bestselling modern classic Coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breath-taking adventures, The Graveyard Book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.
Okay, this isn't really a book, but the band One Direction is the best thing that's ever happened to me. The songs are amazing, specifically "What Makes you Beautiful" and "Little Things" --Elisabeth
Oh, and you can recommend movies too.

I LOVE books by Jessica Day George! Specifically, 'Princess of the Midnight Ball' and 'Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow'.

ReplyDeleteAnother really good book is Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card.
