At the beginning of 2012, my work had a challenge, read 50 new books and watch 50 new movies during the year. You can read more about the challenge in this blogpost I wrote at the beginning of last year. Now for the results of the challenge... I read 41 books and watched 43 movies.
Sometimes I would just read books and watch movies just so that I could count them toward my number. As a result of this, I read a few books and watched a few movies that I did not particularly like, but I read or watched them anyways. I might tell you a few of the ones I didn't like, but mainly I would like to tell you the ones that I liked the most.
The books I really really liked:
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
The How to Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell
Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
Any historical fiction books by Ann Rinaldi
The movies I really liked:
Children of Heaven
Life of Pi
Les Miserables
Whisper of the Heart
Movies I did NOT like:
Contagion
The Woman in Black
The Backup Plan
Basically with the rest of the movies or books, they were good. I liked them. I may have even liked them a lot but the ones I wrote above are the ones I liked the most. The ones I did NOT like were pretty bad (at least in my opinion).
If you would like to see the full list of movies and books that I watched and read, you can click the tab at the top of my blog (under my blog title) that says 50-50 CHALLENGE to see them.

I'm proud of the fact that I introduced you to two of the four movies you "really liked."
Thats a pretty cool list A.L. We are proud of you for being so culturally minded.
Actually Timbo has introduced Mom and I to a lot of the movies that we like as well.
Thanks for posting. And now I gotta go read your new blog about your new car that I see just below. Being in Africa for a week plus has really left us out of touch...
