How do you survive at Book Club?

I know that everyone has those times when they forgot to read the next book for book club and you have those thoughts of, “OMG. What am I going to do. I am not going to SSUUUURRVVIIVVEEE!”

Well BookRiot did a list of “7 Ways to Fake it at Book Club.” I know that I will probably be using this some times as I don’t always get a chance to read my book for book club (sorry Omar.)

Click here to read this really useful list.

Review

WOWOWOWOWOWOW. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.

BEST. MOVIE. EVER.

As you can tell I am extremely excited and absolutely loved this movie. It had action, it has myth, it had romance, it had a really hunky actor playing Thor, and a great woman playing Jane.

This movies graphics were great and so colorful and bright.

The story line in this movie was also really intriguing. Thor was cast out of Asguard, his home world, because he defied his father. He was sent to Earth where Jane, played by Natalie Portman, hit him with a car. Jane studied stars and anomalies which happened in the universe and she found Thor, who she did not know was “Thor”, who had come out of some anomaly. The story then follows the journey between the two worlds and how they collide. It follows Jane and Thor and how Jane tries to get Thor home but falls in love with him in the process.

I was excited for this movie to start with but I was curious to see how they were going to do an entire movie on Thor and I have to say that they did it exceptionally well. It kept you interested and just entertained. It ended like there was going to be another one and there had better be another one because it ended like a cliff hanger and I have to know what happens next.

This is a definitely a must watch even if you don’t like this type of thing because you may be surprised to find out you do.

So go and check this one out from your library. 🙂
