HP7

I am finished...Oddly enough I thought that I would be depressed and saddened when I finished the book, but I'm not. I read the last few pages, closed the book and sighed deeply and suddenly it felt like this huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I'll admit, there were points during my reading where I was angry and dissapointed with some of my favorite characters.

That said, I could see there being additional books added to the series-written from the point of view of other characters.

The very first thing I did after finishing the book was to go and read the J.K. Rowling interview with hopes of gaining a sense of understanding about some of the events in the books.

Then I went back to read a bunch of the blog posts that I had tagged, but didn't want to read until I was done. A Fuse #8 Production has yet to disappoint me. Check this out, these two HP readers read and blogged back and forth. I found their post very illuminating since the book is fresh in my mind.

I can't wait!

I know this is old news, but still The Golden Compass Movie is going to be awesome. I actually just listened to the full cast audio version. This was the first time that I experienced a full cast audio title. It was excellentl. I got so drawn into the story that I had to also borrow a copy of the book from the library so that I could read ahead when I wasn't listening to the audio. I have since encouraged my non-reader husband to pick up the book. He may get to it once he puts down HP7.

It's been awhile

It's been awhile since my last post, I've been busy. That will soon change, well I'll still be busy since I am still a mommy to 3 kiddies, but I will be graduated! That's right! In a matter of mere weeks I will have a Master's degree. Now I can read, read, read whatever I want. I may also attempt to post much more regularily to my blog.

Big boy now

Yippeeee! It was off to the store for #2 and me today. #2 picked out his very own, brand new big boy underwear that he will not pee and poo in. So far, so good. It has only been a matter of hours though.

Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson

Tyler could be described as a typical high school loser-average looking, not popular, few friends. Tyler pulled a stupid prank at the end of his junior year of high school. As a result, he had to perform community service, lost his car and his parents took his drivers license. Tyler spent the summer working with the school janitors and he bulked up. The result of Tyler's prank and his new apperance causes Tyler to gain the attention of the high school princess, Bethany. The result of a highschool party causes Tyler to question his esistence.

I was not a big fan of this book. I felt that Anderson wrapped the book up into a neat little package with a puke colored bow. The book was too "and they lived happily-ever-after" for me.

The best part of this book was Yoda, Tyler's Star War's obsessed best friend.

It's been awhile

Holy cow! I can't believe that I haven't been able to post since January. I had to set the computer aside and continue on my academic journey. Thank god I have a break until June!

I am in the process of reading Picoult's 19 Minutes. Love it!!!

My next task is to put together a must read book list for my teachers.

My apologies

My dear faithful readers, (yup Mom, I'm talking about you)

I am so very sorry for me week long abcense from here. Classes started up again, we're moving into a new house, yada yada yada.

I hope to resume somewhat regular posting again after the big move.
