\"\"<\/a>Hello!<\/p>\n

How is your reading going this month? Have you been able to squeeze in some reading time? Reading is a great way to escape for a bit, but in this especially crazy time sometimes there just isn’t room for long, leisurely afternoons spent with a book. If you’re finding this to be the case, why not try a movie? A couple hours of relaxing can do you a world of good and won’t absorb all of your time. Here are a few that fit into our “You’ve Got Mail” rom-com theme this month.<\/p>\n

Ghostbusters<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Bill Murray. Ghosts. New York Public Library. Who you gonna call?<\/p>\n

When Harry Met Sally.<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Nora Ephron. Meg Ryan. Billy Crystal. That iconic scene at Katz’s Deli.<\/p>\n

My Big Fat Greek Wedding.<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Finding yourself. Falling in love. A crazy family.<\/p>\n

13 Going on 30.<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Jennifer Garner dances to Thriller.<\/p>\n

Coming to America<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Eddie Murphy. African prince finds his match in Queens, New York.<\/p>\n

Say Anything<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. John Cusack. That’s a boom box kids. That’s how we used to listen to music.<\/p>\n

Mamma Mia!<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Amanda Seyfried. Meryl Streep. Way too much ABBA music.<\/p>\n

The Proposal.<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Sandra Bullock. Ryan Reynolds. Fake wedding. Alaska. Betty White being raunchy.<\/p>\n

Notting Hill<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Hugh Grant. Julia Roberts. Just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.<\/p>\n

Princess Bride<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Robin Wright. Cary Elwes. Inconceivable! Prepare to die! As you wish.<\/p>\n

Groundhog Day<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Bill Murray. Andie MacDowell. Don’t drive angry!<\/p>\n

Four Weddings and a Funeral.<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Hugh Grant. Andie MacDowell. Gorgeous flowers and charming churches.<\/p>\n

And of course, You’ve Got Mail<\/strong><\/em><\/a> with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Sweet, funny and Bentley the dog! It doesn’t get any better than this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
