Obsessed right now: WTF stories (weird, true, freaky)

I was browsing online just randomly at news.com.au and I came across this strange but interesting segment of news stories that are the perfect combination of Weird, True and Freaky with articles from 'World's oldest dog: a pub regular' to 'Stab victim didn't notice knife in neck'. As you can probably tell, it already seems quite light hearted and comical but very true! Here is the link so you can have a look at the stories for yourself:

So many good movies to watch right now.

Here is a quick list of the movies I am dying to watch...

- Precious

- The Blind Side

- Bright Star

- Alice in Wonderland

- Dear John

- Remember Me

- From Paris with love

- A single man

Oh dear, that's about $20 per movie so $160 in total. Movie marathon anyone?

Read it: The Pact

Written by Jodi Picoult, author of the International bestseller, My Sister's Keeper, comes a new novel exposing aspects of love, soul mates and murder. Here is the blurb for your interest:

For eighteen years the Hartes and the Golds have lived next door to each other...they've grown so close it seems they have always been a part of each other's lives. Parents and children alike have been best friends so it's no surprise that in high school, Chris and Emily's friendship blossoms into something more. After all, they've been soul mates since they were born.

So when midnight calls from the hospital come in, no one is ready for the appalling truth: Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head. There's a single unspent bullet in the gun that Christ took from his father's cabinet- a bullet that Christ tells police he intended for himself. But a local detective has doubts about the suicide pact that Chris has described.

The profound questions faced by the characters in this heart-rending novel are those we can all relate to: how well do we ever really know our children or our friends? What if...? As its chapters unfold, alternating between an idyllic past and an unthinkable present, The Pact paints an indelible portrait of families in anguish, culminating in an astonishingly suspenseful courtroom drama as Chris finds himself on trial for murder.

Sounds very juicy and I cannot wait to start reading. Enjoy!
