Three Years Ago: Movies Meet Their Match

Hello, all of you movie and book lovers!

Look what I found! Is it a blogiversary post?

THREE years ago today, on July 19th 2016, I published my first post on this blog. Ah!! I can't believe that I have come this far!! Blogging has been so much fun, I have loved sharing my thoughts on books and movies and being able to talk about them with you all! Because I love to celebrate everything, each year I have had a blogiversary (blogoversary? blogaversary? How do you say this?) post. Here are the posts: From 2018, From 2017, and The Original (You don't have to go read them, they are pretty "cringy" and I'll summarize here. Though they do have some interesting stories...).

This is what I look like when I read my old posts.

Now, without further ado, let's see some stats and what has changed since day 1.

Watching: It is also #CleanMovieMonth85, so only films from 1934-1954.

My Top 5 Favorite Books:

Anne of Green Gables - by L. M. Montgomery

Holes - by Louis Sachar

Pride & Prejudice - by Jane Austen

The Hobbit - by J. R. R. Tolkien

North & South - by Elizabeth Gaskell

My Top 5 Favorite Movies: (Argh, this is so hard!)

Singin' in the Rain (1952)

STAR WARS IV: A New Hope (1977)

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) (Oh, that's why I'm using these photos...)

Amazing Grace (2006)

Beauty and the Beast (2017)

Why is that so much harder than it used to be? I guess I've seen more movies and read more books so there are too many to decide.

Well, I think that's it! Thank you so much, again, for reading!

Have a lovely day!
