Movie Monday- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

It's Movie Monday again! I missed last week since we were closed but now I'm back! These entries will be dedicated to movies based on books. Upcoming movies and older movies worth remembering and the books that inspired them. I'll discuss what I think are the pros and cons of the movie vs. the book (and I want to hear your comments, so don't hesitate to speak up!). If there are any movies you think I should write about, shoot me an email at librariansti@gmail.com!

But before we get to our newest featured book movie, I just wanted to announce that the teens in the Teen Reading Club have read a total of 3200 hours so far!! You guys are seriously blowing my mind! Seriously!

Okay, onto the movie of the day. I put off watching the trailer for this until just now because I wanted to give you my opinions right as I had them. So here they are, my thoughts on the trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1: All I can say is...wow. It's been a few years since I read Deathly Hallows and I didn't know if I was emotionally ready to see all of it on film yet. But now that I've seen the trailer I'm really excited! I know I'll cry my eyes out, so I'm glad they're making 2 movies instead of one, this way I can space the tears a few years apart. But the action in just these few minutes already blows and my mind and gave me goosebumps. And made me want to watch all of the movies over again!



In our last TAG meeting we discussed having a party for the release of the movie. DO you have any thoughts or requests for party activities?

DFTBA,
Sti

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite! The movie comes out February 6th and I'll definitely be seeing it that weekend, so if you want to see it with me let me know and we can get a group of people to see it together! I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti

First Blog Ever!

Well, this is the launch of the new Friendswood Library Young Adult Blog. I chose the name Book Bag after looking at the names of some other libraries' blog titles, but if there is a better name out there, let me know! I created this blog primarily so you can find out what activities are coming up for the 11-16 age group here at the library. I'll be posting brief descriptions of our activities, photos, book reviews, and other interesting things that I happen to see. In recent news: the TAG Christmas party was December 8, and everyone worked together to make it a success. Thanks to all the hardworking volunteers! We ate holiday snacks, sang Christmas karaoke, and had a snowball fight outside! Check out the library's Flickr site for all the pictures. We're taking a brief break during the Christmas holidays, but we'll be starting up again on January 11 with personalizing snack dishes to use every week. Instead of throwing away bowls and cups after our Fr...
