Loved the Beekeeper's Apprentice! Good luck, Catie.

Hi Catie! I like your profile picture from Totoro. :)

Miss Pettigrew is a fun book, and a fun movie. I hope you get to read it this year.

Thanks Hayes, I'm sure I'll love it, just need to get in and started...

Hi Jeanette, great to meet a fellow Totoro fan! I feel that Little Mei is a truer representation of the inner me than any photo could be.
I've started Miss Pettigrew a couple of times over the years but put it down. Hopefully this will be the year that I crack it.

I had to double check with my daughter that your picture was the little sister from Totoro. Miyazaki has a distinctive style, so I wavered between Totoro and Ponyo. You must be a fun person! :)

Do try Miss Pettigrew, and then watch the movie, too.

Catie (gollywollypogs) | 53 comments Aye Aye, Jeanette, will do.


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

I looked at your bookshelves -- not only do you watch anime, but you are an Austen fan, and a Terry Pratchett fan! I've started following your reviews, and found a book on your shelves to add to my tbr pile! Just what I need, yes?

Catie (gollywollypogs) | 53 comments Hi Jeanette, following you back. Looks like you like fairy tale re-tellings and that's something of an obsession of mine...


message 10: by [deleted user] (new)

This should be fun! I'll take a closer look.....

Catie (gollywollypogs) | 53 comments Having got half way up Pike's Peak, I'm starting to think of upgrading to the next level.


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

It's only March -- I think you could make it easily! :)


message 13: by Catie (new)

Catie (gollywollypogs) | 53 comments Thanks, Jeannette, I'm finding there's nothing like a challenge to focus my attention.


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

I'll wave from Pike's Peak, when I reach the top!

BTW, here's a great site to find some images. Yes, you can get to the top of PP via rail. I did it and what fun.

Do click on the videos.

Catie (gollywollypogs) | 53 comments Those are lovely! Thank s for posting them.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

That does look like it would be a lot of fun.

Misfit | 198 comments It was a gas, although the altitude at 14,000' is a wee bit thin. We were a bit delayed going back down because of mechanical difficulties and everyone was getting a bit silly from lack of oxygen. It gives me a healthy respect for those who can CLIMB the mountains.
