Project 17 by Laurie Stolarz is one of my favorite books. The first time I read this book, I was listening to Ghost Hunters (I always have the TV on in whatever I'm doing) and the combination of those two things made it so I couldn't sleep that night. When I lay in my bed on my right side, I can see out my window, and I was terrified that I was going to see a ghost looming outside. It just made me more paranoid, but I luv it.
Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler.. an amazing book!

Congratulations Linda! I'll be blogging about the book this weekend and facebook (hey, a verb!) it too!
100 Years by Five For Fighting.
Hey, I forgot to answer the question! Hmm, I don't know about song title but I love The Smith's Half A Person: "Sixteen, clumsy and shy / I went to London and I..."
Sixteen Candles will forever be among my favorite movies! The show NUMB3RS rock!
=)
My answer would have to be Sixteen Candles for sure! And no I am not just copying LLL Reviews, I swear! I already had it in my head before I got to the bottom. My friend Lauren and I would quote it (and other various 80s movies) during lunch in high school. Love it!

It's an oldie but goodie, but my favorite movie with a number in the title is "Sixteen Candles." I think I laugh more each time I see this movie!!
Thanks so much!!

Excellent numbers selections, everyone. And look how many of us love old John Hughes movies. Sixteen Candles is a classic!
One of my fave movies would be "10 Things I Hate About You" :)

Changed my twitter profile (@Brittleblue) for the remainder of September so that's 2 points x 4 weeks so 8 points altogether.

Nine Rules to Break When Romancing A Rake by Sarah Maclean. It still makes me smile when I think about it.
My favourite movie with numbers in the title is Ocean's 11.
My favourite song with numbers in the title is an obscure Australian country song called "Number 97 to the snack bar please" which is very funny.
And my favourite book with numbers in the title (after much head scratching, I couldn't think of anything for ages!) is "45 and 47 Stella Street" by Elizabeth Honey.
Fever 1793 was an amazing book. It is one of the few that made me cry. If you have not read it you should, it's more of a younger kids book (middle gradish) but it's really good.
Sixteen Candles is one of my favorite movies :)

The Ocean 11 movies. They are some of the best with many talented actors in them (and not to mention hot)
10 things I hate about you
Such a silly teenager movie but for some reason I like it! LOL
Remember 867-5309? After all these years, that song remains in my head, something I hum or sing at least once a week.
wordygirl at earthlink d0t net
EEEe! Beth, I used to love that song! I tried calling the number a few times too...
I also love 16 candles- no one did it like John Hughes

On the occasional difficult day like today, I go back to my childhood when my grandparents used to play Tennessee Ernie Ford's '16 Tons'!!! With taxes increasing, that one line keeps repeating in my memory, "You load 16 tons and whatdoyaget? Another day older and deeper in debt!"
