description

Did you love this movie? Did it make you realize what is truly important in life? Want to hear the songs again? Each of these categories is based on the tunes in this movie sound track and is hyperlinked to YouTube [image error] so you can “refresh” your memory on the lyrics. If you’re looking for the songs sung by other artists, feel free to search for them. Sometimes I chose links based on the sound quality, other times for the pictures depicted in the movie.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Congrats, Sandy! I'm thinking about Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran for the "Oh. My Gods!" Challenge. Glad you liked it.


message 26: by SandyC (new)

SandyC (sandyc88) | 1193 comments Thanks, Lisa Kay! Yes, I did like it, but I would caution that it reads like a YA book (not that that is a bad thing).


message 27: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Ah! Good to know. I just started that genre last year, but have read some excellent ones.


message 28: by SandyC (new)

SandyC (sandyc88) | 1193 comments Yes, many YA novels are excellent. The thing with Cleo's Daughter...it's not classified as YA but really feels like one. I don't mind YA at all, I would just prefer to know in advance. Does that make sense?
