The Book Snob

Welcome to my blog! It's all about one of my favorite things - reading.
I love to read and I love to talk about reading.

The Winter of Our... Jane

I just heard on the news that Tuscaloosa is getting 2-3" of snow later this afternoon. My first reaction? Thank goodness, I can catch up on Jane. It's my Book Snobs pick this month and I decided to choose something REALLY snobby... Jane Eyre. Problem is, I'm a wee bit behind schedule for finishing on time. I need a snow day to catch up. It would be awful if the Snob who picked the book didn't finish it before the meeting!

So... my last post was about reading in the rain, but now I'm hoping to read in the snow.

Great news for Jane Eyre fans!! I was so excited to see during the previews for another movie that "Jane Eyre: the movie" is coming March 2011. Check out the trailer here. I went to see The King's Speech (a must see, by the way) with another Snob - when the JE preview came on we were probably the only ones who audibly squealed (maybe that was just me). But I bet it will be an amazing movie - for Book Snobs and Movie Snobs alike.

The top 5 fabulous things about a snow day:
5) Sleeping late - provided the heat is working.
4) Having a really great excuse for being behind on work email.
3) The cultural event in the South called "Git yo bread and milk" - this happens every time the word "snow" is uttered by Meteorologist James Spann, even though no one in Tuscaloosa has ever been snowed in more than about 24 hours.
2) Trying out my new rain/snow boots (the first I've ever owned, not sure why!).
1) Reading a great book written in the 19th century on a 21st century Kindle. :)
