"10 Day You Challenge" - Three Films

Hello Muggles,

today it's time for another part of the "10 Day You Challenge":

Three films:

1) Grave of the Fireflies

"Grave of the Fireflies" was the first film I watched that really made me cry. When little Setsuko puts buttons into her mouth thinking they were candy (and because I don't want to spoiler, I won't talk about what happens after that) just made me cry SO hard! I felt confused and sad.

It is just an excellent movie.

 Aaand it's representative for all Animes and especially Studio Ghibli films, which I looooove! *.* My favourites are: My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo

 

2) The little Mermaid

It was so hard to choose one Disney film because I love so many of them (my fav's beside The little Mermaid are: Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled...).

What else is there to say?

3) Emma

   
Since the last two or three months I'm obsessed with Jane Austen and the Bronte Sisters' work and the most fun I had watching "Emma". This won't be an all time favourite of me but I just like it at the moment, so I included it. :)

***

Although I always answer the question "What's your favourite film?" with "Harry Potter" I chose to not put in on the list because I don't really like the actual films but it's much more an emotional thing because I love the books, characters and the story in general so much. Unfortunately I don't think they made a big deal out of it and I was extremely disappointed with part 7 (1+2) because even J.K. Rowling said that they are close to the books... uhm, no? -.-


Well, the challenge is almost over - I hope you enjoyed it so far and I hopefully "see" you tomorrow when it's about two songs. ;)

Leave a comment telling me your top three films if you'd like to - it would make me happy. :)

See you next time,
Hermione 

Visited the Library...

Hey everyone,

I'm totally into English Literature and classical novels at the moment, which is why I went to the library and hoped to find some reading material. I've already been there last week and got two audio books ("Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte and "Lady Susan" by Jane Austen).

Unfortunately the library in my town is not that big and they don't have many english books. :(  But this is what I got yesterday:

Sorry about the light. I'm quite a lousy photographer and the camera I use at the moment is probably not the best one. ;)

As you can see I found "Sense and Sensibilty" by Jane Austen. I actually didn't want to take it with me because the letters are very small and it won't be that nice to read but when I couldn't find any other Jane Austen novel in English I just took it.

The other book ("By a Lady") I found is a collection of extracts of Austen's novels, which is in Englisch and German.

As you can see I got four more Audio Books. There is "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, "The Picture of Dorian Grey" by Oscar Wilde, "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens and last but not least "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien, which I already read and only brought for my boyfriend, so he can listen to it when he can't sleep. ;D

This is it for now - just wanted to show you what I'm interested in at the moment and I would love to see what you think about it in the comment section. :)

See you next time,

Hermione
