November 2012 "Wrap-Up"

I hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving this year - I sure did - my favorite time of the year!

Best Book of the Month:
'Bigfoot War' - by Eric S. Brown
A nice, fast read. No time for character bonding, as you are never sure who is going to survive the onslaught of death & destruction!

Runner-Up:
'I Am Number Four: The Rise of Nine' - by Pittacus Lore
This is the 3rd book in the actual series - not as good as the 1st two, but still good.

Other books that I read this month:
'Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines' - by D. L. Snell
(Snell is one of the co-authors of one of my favorite books this year, 'Pavlov's Dog's', which I think may have set my expectations too high for 'Roses of Blood'... Still, it's not a bad read.)

Best Movie of the Month:
Looper

Runner-Up:
Enter Nowhere

Other movies that I watched this month:
(in the order that I viewed them)

The Girl
The Expendables 2
Safety Not Guaranteed
Sound of My Voice (I loved the end of this one!)
The Raven
The Pact
Iron Sky
LOL
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
Descendants
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (Part 1)
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House
Naughty or Nice

Best App of the Month:
This month I officially made the switch from Apple to Android, and I do not regret it in the slightest! I bought the Samsung Galaxy Note II, and I absolutely love it!
Forget "Smart Phone", this is a "Genius Phone"!

As for Best App this month - that goes to Angry Birds: Star Wars 
(my favorite of all of the Angry Bird games, so far!)


Well, that wraps up this month's "wrap-up".
I figure that I will post next month's wrap-up, right before Christmas, and I will post the "Year-In-Review" after Christmas...

Until then,

Jason
