Unfortunately, yours does not have nutella on it and therefore, it not as good. Although the ones here are 6.00. That sucks. <br /><br />I wasn't shocked about my sister's keeper either - I had it figured out. Be prepared to be disappointed in that movie too, though. I haven't seen it yet but I've heard that it is VERY different and that some of the characters in the book aren't even in the movie and other characters are completely different. <br /><br />I just started Time Traveller's Wife a few days ago. I know I will hate the movie. I am always so excited to watch the movies that are made from books and then always hate them. I know what you meant about always saying to your hubby "That didn't happen ..." I do that ALL the time with the harry potter movies because he only watches the movies and I read the books and watch the movies.Lucy Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172695235913542465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456161203913030605.post-36223543642066202772009-08-17T21:57:40.248-04:002009-08-17T21:57:40.248-04:00Warning: If you didn't like what they changed...Warning: If you didn't like what they changed in Time Traveler's..Sister's Keeper is worse.

I like the idea of reading the book before the movie, we just haven't been watching many movies (so I've been reading diff books) and then others I keep saying, wait I want to read the book first.

And yes, i agree, if they skimped on the sugar, you can totally count it as 0 points. thats always my theory (when i'm being good and actually counting points).<br /><br />I love to read so I love your posts about different books!Ashley @ {Let Go, Laughing}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02784528833755471793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456161203913030605.post-12433734068817222352009-08-17T18:40:41.502-04:002009-08-17T18:40:41.502-04:00What are elephant ears?

They look like apple fritters. <br /><br />I've heard alot about TTW, but decided that since I don't really remember the book, I'll probably enjoy the movie. I'll have to let you know if it is the book that makes it suck or if it really does suck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784657544280788901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456161203913030605.post-47607044549040497922009-08-17T16:51:42.618-04:002009-08-17T16:51:42.618-04:00i don't know what an elephant ear is either......i don't know what an elephant ear is either....i know what a funnel cake is but it looks totally different than that pic. i'm from the north, looks like they have funnel cakes in the south too. <br />i would love some greasy carnival/fair food! i tried to get some as well on saturday night, thanks to the rain i got nothing!<br />i don't know now whether to read the book time traveler's wife or just see the movie...hmmmm.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17773608422571911723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456161203913030605.post-7512712769115766692009-08-17T16:16:30.913-04:002009-08-17T16:16:30.913-04:00Is an elephant ear like fried dough?

And you totally are spot on with that they hardly count, especially if you split one AND they scrimped on cinnamon and sugar. :)<br /><br />I'm sad to hear you were disappointed by The Time Travelers Wife. I am SO looking forward to this, but then again, I haven't read the book so I don't really know what to expect. In response to your question, I don't know how to combat the book vs. movie problem. I usually have read books before seeing the movies, but I somehow block out the book version and try to at least enjoy the movie... although there have been some huge disappointments. I really don't know what can be done about this! I'd be an advocate for continuing to read the books beforehand though... they're so fantastic in written form. :)<br /><br />Glad you had a good weekend! :)A New England Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016162084810966866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456161203913030605.post-74000020364386949692009-08-17T15:43:03.947-04:002009-08-17T15:43:03.947-04:00Ohh those elephant ears look AMAZING!!!Ohh those elephant ears look AMAZING!!!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973851588856294863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456161203913030605.post-19173245598879945212009-08-17T12:44:49.805-04:002009-08-17T12:44:49.805-04:00I SO want an elephant ear now.

Bummer because I love Rachel McAdams and Eric Banna! I liked the movie for My Sister's Keeper better than the book (which is very odd for me). The movie seemed more believable to me. The ending of the book was just too crazy. <br /><br />Glad you had a great weekend!!!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488012058593604962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456161203913030605.post-73347600059225564042009-08-17T12:20:16.432-04:002009-08-17T12:20:16.432-04:00Hmmm?

I find them really well written and twisting, but generally utterly depressing. anyways--glad you switched to a more light hearted read next.littlesackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105858846017193903noreply@blogger.com
