Matched by Ally Condie I got for Christmas and I finished this engrossing book last night! Here is the "jest"............
Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow
This was Hunger Games meets romance novel and I loved it! It is so great when a book transports you to a place you can only imagine! And guess what? Disney has already signed on to this TRILOGY and the 1st movie starts production next year! Can not wait!
Ok, so the first time I left the house was yesterday after a raging case of Cabin Fever. Matt and I caught a matinee of The Tourist with 2 people I love Jolie and Depp! In case you haven't heard this has been nominated for several Golden Globes in best movie category, best actor and actress in comedy?! So is this a comedy? NO, it is only funny when you think the actors are so over the top in their fake accents it makes you laugh. This was cute but it was a renter! Save your money!The day is FINALLY here...............Oprah's network has arrived and I watched about 6 hours this weekend previewing the new shows such as Miracle Detectives, Behind the scenes of her 25th Season and Searching For... a genealogy based show and I LOVE IT! I am looking froward to the human interest shows and a glimpse into lives around the globe! I am so excited for all this network will have to bring and my DVR is in over drive!
