Last night Alan and I went to see the Bourne Ultimatum. I really loved it. I loved the first two in the series and this was just as good. I think the first movie had the best ending (I'm a sucker for a happy ending) but this one ended still a little up in the air. I wonder if they are leaving it a little mysterious so that they can easily do a fourth movie.Jason Bourne, as a character, is so easy to sympathize with. You really want him to find out what he needs to find out and then be done with all of this crazy running. He becomes the kind of character that you can feel his trepidation in killing unnecessarily and then his satisfaction when he has stopped a truly bad guy. I love this series of movies - I know there are a couple more "Bourne" books - I'm going to look for them next time I am at the library.
Speaking of books.... I finished Eclipse this morning. It has a very satisfying ending. Stephenie Meyer is a talented writer - I wish I had that gift. I can barely put sent
ences together in this blog. I am amazed at the world and the characters that she has created. It seems so real and it is so easy to get caught up in it. I highly recommend these books. My next book is Austenland by Shannon Hale.

Jo - you are soo famous to me with all your fancy bloggin'. I have been so busy with my sis here that there hasn't been much time for anything - especially blogging. I can't believe I missed out on such a fun blogging week! I love your movie review and your fancy reading day! I think I'll do that Monday.

I just finished Eclipse last week and it was great. I don't want to wait a whole year for the next one to come out! Don't worry I couldn't do anything else until I finished it and then it was all I could think about for the next week. I should have taken a picture of my laundry piling up while I read away the day :)
