S is for Signs, and C is for Cabot

I finally saw the movie Signs last Friday, and I really enjoyed it.  All the actors did a great job, and even though I knew what ultimately defeats the aliens I was still freaked out.  Aliens in general tend to scare me so my heart was pounding during certain points of the movie.

For my YA novels goal, I've just finished reading Jinx by Meg Cabot.  I always love a good Meg Cabot novel.  They are full of kick-ass heroines and cute guys.  Jinx is about Jean Honeychurch, called Jinx because of her perpetual bad luck.  When she moves in with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in New York she begins an adventure that pits her against her cousin Tory, who is a practicing witch.
