While She Knits - Holiday Gift Edition

FALALALALA LALALALA.

Who else besides me is getting ready to buy the gift that keeps on giving?  Books for the holidays!

What books are you giving as gifts?  And what books for yourself are you sneaking onto to that Amazon order because, well, you have that free shipping anyway, right?

Yes! My sister got me that movie -- I thought it was good -- great cast!

But "Green Knowe" was WAY too big -- not at all like the real house, even in the (supposedly) old parts. And the staff, also was a bit large. Mrs. Oldknow had a servant in the movie to do things she did herself in the book. Which (to me) weakened the story line just a tad.

Good movie, though -- even though the books were better. (But doesn't that always happen?)

Speaking of which, I do recommend the new Hobbit movie -- Peter Jackson doesn't do violence to the story, the way he did with The Lord of the Rings. (And I really liked those movies, too -- even though they could have been better *sigh*)

I'm looking forward to the new Hobbit movie.

Have you seen the Rankin-Bass cartoon? The animation's quite wonderful; it's what inspired me to read the books.
