James did not have a good first full day.  When I came home with Liz, James came and greeted me out at the car like he always does, and when I asked how his day was his face just fell and said it was terrible and he didn't want to talk about it and went inside.  Every time I asked how his day at school was he just said something to the effect that ( Read more... )

Finished Deathly Hallows yesterday morning at 6a.m. after reading straight through the night.  Loved the book, and dreamed lovely Harry Potter dreams all night/morning until I woke up. (kids let me sleep til 1!) I wasn't thrilled with the epilogue but loved the ending.

Today was definately a lazy Sunday.

I decided to add another goal after I saw this on willow_dragon page, I have read only textbooks and have for 4 years, but I am about to graduate and reading 25 books shoudn't be to hard. So I thought I would try to do the same. I may even go a step further and give a short review for each book I read. (go me ( Read more... )
