I read the book "I'n not here to make friends" by Courtney Robertson. If you are a fan of the show "The Bachelor" then you should read this. It would be hard to enjoy as much if you don't have background from the show and what it is about. I watched the season with Courtney in it and became a huge fan of the Bachelor Ben at the time. The author basically tells about her experience on the show and all the "unseen" steps you don't see on TV. And the secrets about what happens between the girls and the Bachelor. I really enjoyed it.

I watched the movie, "Pay It Forward". It was very entertaining as it was heartwarming. I absolutely love the message that it sent which the characters mentioned and showed throughout the movie. The message is to "pay it forward", to do something nice for someone and if asked how they can repay you, to reply, "Pay it forward." The characters are relatable and there is very good character development throughout the movie. I would give it an A+.
