aimeekittyTV AND MOVIE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!
hook me up with some suggestions for your favorite. Doesn't matter whether it's Chinese or Korean or Japanese or whatever. (must have subtitles)
Also open to BBC and Bollywood suggestions. <3
Prefer romantic or action stuff, don't mind drama as long as it's not drama for drama-sake. If everyone dies at the end, it better have been a really good trip to get to that point. Extra points for pretty costumes, total adorableness or tragic heroes.
BOOK SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!
I'd like to read some more fiction lately. Maybe recommend your favorite sci/fi, fantasy or fairy-tale book? Young Adult stuff is fair game, too. I used to read Star Wars books back in highschool and liked some of them... (but haven't read any for years...) and I've enjoyed the New!Who! Audio books I've listened to so far. I also like stuff like Robin Mckinley's retelling of Beauty and the Beast, and I love the book of Howl's Moving Castle. I love Jane Austen and I love The Count of Monte Cristo. I love Sherlock Holmes. I'm enjoying reading Ella Enchanted right now. I liked Dune, but not the sequels... I didn't really care for the Sookie Stackhouse books or Laurel K. Hamilton's stuff. Don't really like the Pern books either.
I tend to enjoy stuff with really strong character development and I particularly like uplifting stories of coming of age, or a character who has a very strong character arc (ie like Kirk going from a kid in the middle of nowhere to being a StarFleet captain.)
EDIT: feel free to keep making recs, I'm going to make a list. <3
For my Dragoncon books, I'm going to start with Stardust and finish up Ella Enchanted since that's what they had at the library. I put holds though on several books you guys rec'd
Please see previous post for Dragoncon schedule.
