Wishing For My Own Moving Castle.. And Possibly A Wizard To Go With It

***Updated***

What a wonderful movie. What a wonderful book!
I had forgotten how much I love the book!
My good friend Soren brought something to my attention the other day.
she talked about comfort books.
got me to thinking about what mine were.

Howl's Moving Castle.
Where everything seems to be so real and different and hard and right and wonderful. Much like my life where sometimes I feel like Sophie. Sometimes like Howl, Michael, Lettie, Martha, The Scarecrow, Calcifer.... And everyone else.

Ella Enchanted.
Where she has everything worked out and it all seems to evolve on its own making her life turn upside down and right side up. Making her miserable and happy and in between until finally it starts to work out, but not in the way she had planned.

Percy Jackson Series.
Because Percy is not perfect, he has his faults and he has his friends and he pushes through, finding a way to work out his problems even when everything seems hopeless.

Sabriel.
Where she is shoved into a world she knows nothing about and she works through it making the world work with her.

Elantris.
Everything is worked out for them.
It even will be pleasant.
Then everything goes wrong.
But they don't despair.
they stand strong and become examples  for the people around them.
And as they become strong, giving and giving to others, they gain the things they wanted all along.

The Goose Girl.
She has a life that she is not comfortable with but through the process of many many hard trials she finds the life, courage, and love she always dreamed of.
