Any Thoughts?


I need more ideas for reading. I love the books I have, but have read them all...a lot. I have a small list of books to check out from the library, but I need more. For some reason toting two children into the library and making sure one is happy and the other one doesn't run away always causes me to forget what I wanted to check out. I figure if I make a good list and keep it in my diaper bag, that might help with the problem. Possibly. I will probably forget I have a list. But at least I will know I am trying. So, please, I love thought provoking books, funny books, mysteries, basically anything that is not sci-fi, uber fantasy, violent or too risque. I would appreciate any ideas!

Fantastic Halloween Read


I'm reading The Historian again, just in time for Halloween. It's a perfect vampire novel, with a villain no teenage girl would ever want to fall in love with. It's not horror spooky, but has a more subtle spook factor. Totally recommend. Find it at Amazon.com

Harry Potter Brain...


I've been out of it more than a lot this week. I've been doing this and that, and none of it is in the slightest bit creative. It's beginning to bother me. I always like to be doing something creative, like writing...or writing. But I will have to push it back a little bit farther because tonight I will be at a local bookstore to get my copy of the final Harry Potter book that I purchased a long time ago.
The last time I did something like this was when I was a sophomore in college. I went at midnight to get the new Dave Matthews Band CD. Even then I thought I was being a little foolish, but you see I want to read the book before some idiot drops a spoiler. I have to do what I have to do.

Sean and I will not hold a decent conversation until I've finished it, which I gather will be most of the weekend. I'm so excited to have a book that will force me to stay up late. I even almost bought a T-shirt with a picture of Hermione on it, just to get in the spirit of things. Thankfully the shirt was in store for teenagers. My toe wasn't cool enough to cross the line. That, and I knew I would regret it later.

So, here's to Harry Potter. I daresay I will post more on this later, but tonight I will get the final book to a series I began reading seven years ago, the summer before my junior year in college. This series actually caused me to forget all semblance of a social life. Boy: "Do you want to come to my apartment?" Me: "No," as I would turn and run to my apartment so I could read the next chapter.

I daresay that I how I will be this weekend.
