Last night I went to see the film Coraline for Greg's 
birthday. When I was little I had always wanted to read the book Coraline but everyone told me it was to scary. When the movie came out, I was hesitant to see it for two reasons. The first was because I still wanted to read the book and I feared the film version might ruin it for me, the second was that I thought the film might not be very good. The trailer seemed a bit goofy and weird to me.It turns out I was wrong, I throughly enjoyed the movie. It was funny, cute, a bit creepy and visually nice as well. I thought it had some cool ideas and got me thinking about my own stories. It also had some great characters. I love stop animation and the director, Henry Selick seems to be a master. He also did Nightmare Before Christmas and I think he worked on James and the Giant Peach.
When Coraline moves to a new house, nothing seems to be going her way. That is, until she finds a doorway that leads to an alternate universe in which everything is perfect. She cannot wait till night when she can creep back to her "other" world. But is everything really as perfect as it seems?
The film was superb and I recommend everyone see it for it is a real treat.

very cool. sew nice.
Oh, this makes me excited! I have this book list as well, and I am glad to hear that the movie was well done. But I still think that I am going to read the book first.
I also wanted to say thank you for your comment... I am so terrible at replying, but I am trying to get better at it! It is so great to hear that other people can relate to being a wallflower. And as you said, I think it can definitely be a good thing. I am so much of a voyeur, that sometimes I just like to melt into the background and watch how people interact (it is so fascinating sometimes!).
Alright dear, I hope you are well <3
