Okay, I just finished reading another YA book*: Uglies by Scott Westerfield. I liked it! A very interesting premise and the plot kept me guessing. Basically, everyone's born "ugly" (technically, normal, just like you and me) and on your 16th birthday, you get an operation that makes you "pretty" (technically, beautiful and barbie-like, but then ( Read more... )

I just finished reading Evernight, which is yet another book about teenage vampires. These ones, however, are not sparkly. The book, while not particularly great, held my interest, surprised me and is about a kajillion times better than Twilight.

So, um, if you'd like to replace the horror in your brain that Twilight left behind, try Evernight. It's ( Read more... )

Finished! Loved it. Just had to say that much.

• So, saw V for Vendetta on Sunday. I LOVED it. Went with my brother and he was ambivalent. Said he didn't not like it, that he was entertained but that it was sort of anti-climactic.

• Saw Brokeback Mountain this weekend. P actually took me to see it! And he liked it! I absolutely adored it...I cried and cried, but I'm a sap, so that's no surprise. I really hope it wins best picture. I really want to read the story--I'm on the waiting list at the library (64 in line ( Read more... )

Ahh...another long weekend. Was soo good to have Friday off. Mostly because hubby & I went to see Goblet of Fire! I absolutely loved it, and really the only nitpicks I have are the same as everyone else. Too short, too fast paced, not enough Draco...but the things they left out, like SPEW, I felt were good cuts. And better for Neville, who is the ( Read more... )

Ok, so shag_me_draco convinced me to go to the Barnes & Noble release party with her, and I'm SO glad I did! She's awesome and I loved hanging out with her. And she was the first one of you people that I've met in RL! When we first saw each other, she said, "You're so cute!" and I think I said, "You're taller than I thought!" which is prolly not the best ( Read more... )

Wanted to post a link to garlandgraves excellent theories (spoilers abound!) about HBP. I totally agree with pretty much everything.

ETA: How long 'til the next book? I'm DYING here.
