Roaring, Swinging, Fabulous, Groovy Blog Collaboration // The Aughts

Happy Tuesday, Friends! I'm super busy at a work event this week... but at least we had a relaxing weekend at KC's grandparent's farm! #lybholidayl is well under way, if you missed that announcement last week!!

On the first Tuesday of the month, February through November, we're highlighting books & films from/about specific eras that we recommend! (Television shows, too, sometimes!) There's no commitment or link-up during those months on your end, but in December we’ll host a recap/link-up for the entire year!

Let's talk about the aughts. Who didn't love the aughts? I loved them dearly, and have just as much nostalgia for them as I do the 90s! Let's get into it! Don't forget to check out Audrey's post!

Jinx by Margaret Wild - I don't remember much about it other than it spoke to my 14 year old soul. I think it was written in verse-ish? Unless I'm mixing it up with another book. I'd like to re-read just to see what I think now.

Holes by Louis Sachar - technically written in 1998, but I read it in 2000 and adored it. The movie was cute too.

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli - I remember adoring the quirky characters. I'd like to re-read this one too!

Twilight - bad, but still things to love nostalgia-wise. It's problematic, but I've got some memories.

Bridget Jones's Diary - essential watching

13 Going on 30 - "thirty flirty and thriving"

Love Actually - "and he's got a big knobbbb" lolol

A Walk to Remember - sobbing forever, swooning forever

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - "does princess sophia want to come out and play?"

The Holiday - my favorite Christmas movie

Legally Blonde - "what like it's hard?!"

Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV)

Gilmore Girls (TV) - forever, but I'll always be grumpy over that reboot.

Veronica Mars - so clever

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - yas

Everwood - I love everything about this show, other than it got cancelled.

Lizzie McGuire - "uh!"

As Told by Ginger - my favorite cartoon!

Braceface - god, I loved this show...

The O.C. - I'd like to finish it!

The Royal We by Heather Cocks - on my ipad

The aughts were aughtful great, don't you think. harrr.
