Iconic 90s Books

This one is a bit late due to technical difficulties! Sorry! 

Bridges of Madison County1992 Robert James Waller

The Bridges of Madison County may have been the ’50 Shades of Grey’ of the 90’s (by that I mean they are both extremely popular while not being very well written).  The Bridges of Madison County spent over 3 years on the New York Times best seller list and has sold over 50 million copies world wide. The book was adapted into a film of the same name by Clint Eastwood in 1995.

Delia Smith’s Christmas 1990 Delia Smith

Delia Smith actually released 5 cookbooks from 1990-1999 (and over 25 books in her career) but my personal favourite is Delia Smith’s Christmas released in 1990. If you are after a great Christmas cake or Christmas mince pie recipe then look no further. Delia Smith’s Cookbooks have sold over 21 million copies worldwide.

Tomorrow When the War Began 1993 JohnMarsden

TWTWB was the first book series that I absolutely fell in love with. Ellie Linton is such a smart and powerful young woman. It made an impact on me. I still love these books and I try to re-read them at least once a year. I'm proud to say my copies were so well read that I had to buy new copies last year. Adults will love these books too.

The Rainbow Fish 1992 MarcusPfister

How cute is The Rainbow Fish? With his little blue face and shiny, shiny scales? Awww. Another 90’s classic. This colourful picture book teaches kids the importance of sharing and how fun it is to do so. There are 5 other Rainbow Fish books: Rainbow Fish to the Rescue, Rainbow Fish and the Big Blue Whale, Rainbow Fish and the Sea Monster's Cave, Rainbow Fish Finds his Way and Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep Sea. 

Iconic 90's Movies

It’s iconic 90’s movie week so get yourself some out of date tangy fruits on trade me, sit back and enjoy their high waist pants.

Beauty and the Beast 1991
Tale as old as time, true as it can be. I this is easily my favorite Disney movie and one of my favorite love stories. Beautiful young Belle (who is a hot nerd) agrees to be imprisoned in a castle with the Beast to save her father’s life (because she’s kick-ass and brave). But it’s okay because then the Beast gives her his library and if that’s not true love, I don’t know what is. This movie is magical. I recommend you get the sing-a-long version.

Forrest Gump 1994
Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you’re going to get. Unless you’re about to watch Forrest Gump because then you know it’s going to be great. So run Forest run down to the library to get yourself a copy!

Sister Act 1992 Sister act 2 1993
Sister Act and Sister Act 2 –Back in the Habit are two of my favorite movies in the world. I’m not joking. I have both of the soundtracks on my Ipod. When you have a cast that includes Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith and Lauryn Hill singing rock and roll infused Gospel songs; it’s amazing that this isn’t everyone’s favorite movie. Seriously just watch them.

Jurassic Park 1993
I straight up love dinosaurs but in 1993 this movie scared the crap out of me! I still check the kitchen for raptors now and again. Treat your self to a Jurassic Park Marathon and watch all 3 of them.

Pulp Fiction 1994
We are just spoiled for choice when it comes to great movies in the 90’s. Not only did Quentin Tarantino give us this masterpiece but we also got Reservoir Dogs in 1992. I will say that Pulp Fiction is slightly better because Reservoir Dogs doesn’t have that epic dance scene.

Honorable mentions include: Dances with Wolves, Spice World, Empire Records, That thing you do, Schindler's List, Edward Scissorhands, Braveheart, American History X, The Lion King, Fight Club, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Goodfellas, Saving Private Ryan, Silence of the Lambs
