Bookwitch

Seeing as it was the Easter holidays you’d be forgiven for expecting something good on at the local cinema. Daughter needed to take her new haircut to the cinema, so with the nearest one a disappointment, we went to Manchester instead. The train fare there was also cheaper than the bus fare locally. Britain is such fun.

We saw Juno, which at least the witch had read good things about. And I think it was a very good film. American, but not glossy. It’s about a pregnant teenager, and the ending in particular reminded me so much of a Sarah Dessen book, that I needed to get it out when I got home.

Someone Like You is also about a teenager who gets pregnant, and being a Sarah Dessen story, it makes for a good read. As is to be expected, there is a child birth at the end of the book, and it’s sad and funny and wonderful.

Babies have preyed on my mind recently, with the addition to the Crime Always Pays family. This otherwise hardened crime blog is awash with the cutest baby photos, which just goes to show what a softie Declan really is. The witch and Daughter ooh and aah regularly over at CAP. And not a nappy to change at this distance.
