Finished My Novel and August Rush

Hey everyone,

So I finished up "Where the Heart Is" and I must say it was an amazing read. I had already seen the movie, but at the same time I felt as if I was seeing Novalee in a completely new light. I didn't think about the movie version at all. It was exceptional.

Now, I know I usually stick to writing about books, but I wanted to blog a little bit about a movie I watched recently. My mom had been talking about August Rush for a few weeks now. Well, I finally sat down and watched it in full last night and I was blown away. The acting was great, the music was great. It was just a heartfelt story.

Anyways, back to books. So I had written about To Kill A Mockingbird earlier. Tonight, I met a young man named Atticus. It was so cool. He says he's never read the book, but seen the movie several times. His mom wants him to know where he got his name. Meeting him was great.

Anyways, that's it for this post. Be safe and have fun.

So, did Atticus's mom really get his name from the book?

Atticus. I hadn't even thought about that name in years. It's so unusual but famous, thanks to that book.

Maybe this is some sort of inevitable (pre-ordained) fate that you met this guy.

Enjoy reading your blog. Hope the wrist is doing better.

yes, his mom did get the name from the book. I was really impressed that she had read that book in high school and was determined from then on to name her son that.

the wrist is doing better, journalismguy. I can at least type with two hands now.
