Friday Favourites: Books...again
Ok, so I think I got wrapped up in a whirlwind of Twilight, Edward Cullen frenzy, and the last time I wrote a list of my favourite books was during that time period. I've almost kept up with my goal of finishing one book per week this year and I think it is time for me to list my favourite reads so far...These are in no particular order of "favouriteness"
1. The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall - This is a fantastically imaginative and abstract book.
2. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman - NG really is a rock star author. While I found this book to be a little too bard for children and it is found in the children's section of libraries and book stores, it is a great story and I loved it!
3. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
4. City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
5. City of Glass by Cassandra Clare - Obviously, I loved the Mortal Instruments series. Though these are YA books, they were very well-written, the characters were interesting, and the story just kept getting better and better until it ended. BUT, the great news is, she has decided to write a fourth book and I hope she'll write even more
6. Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix - there was just so much action in this part of the Harry Potter story
7. Harry Potter & the Half-blood Prince - My favourite of all the HP books. I was really disappointed with the movie this summer
8. Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill - Surprisingly the only vampire book that remains on my list. Very well-written, strong characters and a story that I can't wait to read more of when Friday Night Bites comes out next month
9. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - Believe it or not, I had never read Frankenstein. What was I thinking?! It is creepy and I love it.
10. The Doomsday Key by James Rollins - I love Rollins' Sigma characters and the action in his stories is fantastic. Plus I always learn something due to the thorough research he does for his stories. Read this book to find out what is happening to all the bees!
I'm sure I'll post another list of my favourite books again before the year is over, or at least, at the end of the year. I'll be spending time catching up to make sure I read my 52 books, so, what should I read next? What have been your favourite reads so far this year?

Favourite Joss Whedon Characters
Because I love everything Joss Whedon - especially his taste in actors. I included all four big tv shows and Dr. Horrible in this list, it made it much harder than if I just do the Buffy/Angelverse.
1. Captain Malcolm Reynolds
2. Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer - I can't rank one above the other
3. Faith
4. Fred/Illyria
5. Wash
6. Anya
7. Saffron - short lived but memorably awesome character
8. Kaylee
9. Giles
10. Oz
11. The Trio - Jonathan is my fave, but they are awesome together
12. Whiskey - I know she doesn't really exist as a character yet, but I'm betting she's going to be awesome!
13. Jane
14. Paul Ballard
15. Lindsey McDonald
I could actually keep going, but I could list pretty much every character from all the shows.
My least favourite characters - in no particular order: Glory, Connor, Eve, Sierra, and Buffy.

Movies or Music Mondays: Best Movie Soundtracks
There was an article recently written by a sports writer for ESPN stating that Almost Famous is the best rock and roll movie. The article tasked it's readers with naming even one other rock and roll movie that came close to being as good...and I could not. (Link to article below post). This got me to thinking about how perfectly movies and music can blend together to create a multi-media experience for the viewers. And that made me think about my favourite movie soundtracks, so, here is my list:
1. Almost Famous
2. Elizabethtown
3. Singles
4. Reality Bites
5. Juno
6. Garden State
7. Pulp Fiction
8. Pump Up The Volume
9. Pretty in Pink
10. The Wedding Singer
11. Romeo & Juliet (1996)
12. High Fidelity
13. Reservoir Dogs
14. Footloose
15. Dirty Dancing
16. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
17. The Bodyguard
18. Grease
19. 8 Mile
20. Grosse Point Blank
21. P.S. I Love You
22. Natural Born Killers
23. Dazed & Confused

Friday Favourites: Funny Women
My favourite genre of movie is comedy. I just love to laugh. So here is a list of the women who make me laugh the most.
1. Tina Fey - From Weekend Update to Thirty Rock and her always funny photos shoots. She's the best.
2. Sarah Silverman - Sometimes I am baffled by how politically incorrect she can be, but she is hilarious none-the-less.
3. Amy Poehler - Great teammate with Tina, but also funny on her own. She has a very interesting comedic timing...she sometimes reminds me of William Shatner...and her facial expressions are priceless.
4. Anna Faris - She hasn't done as much as the other ladies no this list, but she knows how to play to her strengths and she plays the dumb, ditzy girl in a way that always makes me laugh. I like that she isn't afraid to look foolish.
5. Elizabeth Banks - She had the line in $0 Year Old Virgin about "putting it in her trunk", she was very funny in Scrubs and she was in a Kevin Smith movie about making a porn and she was on Role Models, which is one of my favourite comedies from the last year...love her.
6. Ellen Page - She is witty and sarcastic and CANADIAN!
