This week's question comes from Becky who blogs at Becky's Barmy Book Blog (Hi Becky! We are new followers!!)
"Where is your favorite place to read? Curled up on the sofa, in the bed, in the garden?"
A: Both my daughter and I like to read in my bedroom only because it's the quietest room in the house. With our huge plasma tv, two 80 lb dogs, one active cat; the house can seem chaotic at times. I've created my bedroom to be an oasis-and... the kids and dogs think so too. *Sighs*

What we are currently reading.
Suz: Beautiful Darkness
Our movie recommendation for this weekend (Come on, it's almost Halloween!!) - Something Wicked This Way Comes by Disney Productions, based on the acclaimed novel by Rad Bradbury.
To be honest, the book may be difficult for young readers (I'm not going to lie, I struggled with it at times), but the movie is a great way to introduce Rad Bradbury's brilliant tale.
My own summary: Something Wicked This Way Comes is about a small town, visited in the middle of the night by a circus. Once assembled, strange things seem to happen among the residents, as people turn up missing. The problem is, the only people to really notice something supernatural is taking place, are two young boys. Is it up to them to convince the one boy's father that the "autumn people" are not who they claim to be. But in doing so, it may cost the young children their lives, or worse... their soul.

I love Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the artwork you show is the same cover art I have! I had no idea they made a movie, I'll have to check it out.
if it's anything like the book, it'll be wonderfully spooky, creepy, perfect for halloween movie!
