* BLOGGER SPOTLIGHT *

I love finding new book blogs and came across this one recently!
Reviews By Martha’s Bookshelf


* MOVIE REVIEW *

This movie isn't for everyone, but... Zombieland is the funniest and the best movie I have seen all year! Yes, the gore is over the top, but the dialogue is snappy, witty and engaging, and the characters are all realistic and three-dimensional. And did I mention funny? My husband and I laughed so hard we about fell out of our seats! You'll never look at bathrooms - or Bill Murray - the same way again!

* JUST FOR FUN *

* PHOTO OF THE DAY *

This is what I am doing right now!
The Book 'Em Festival is this Saturday in Waynesboro, VA, and I always spend Friday visiting several local schools. I do a character-building session with the students and it's always a big hit.
So pray for me as I visit two schools, four classes total, talking to several hundred kids!

I bet the kids love it. You do Power Point? (Trying to see what's going on in the left hand side of the picture.)

Thanks for the links. Don't know how I missed the dialogue stuff on Blood Red!
