Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Better be extra-careful not to get shot in the World Without Shrimp.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I hope people allergic to shellfish aren't allergic to chitosan.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Kat, Loony Lovegood? She's kinda crazy and believes in fabulous mythical beasts and was the only other one who could see the thestrals at the beginning of Book 5 -- I believe she was in the Climactic Fight Of Doom at the Ministry at the end.

That's spoilery only for 5, which I guess means not at all, but hey -- Kat whitefonted, so I did.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Emily, see, didn't remember ANY of that. Which proves some things. 2 years between books in a series is a long time. (it's been 2 right?) and I felt like 5 was just passing time, filler. and I feel much the same about this one so far.

Though at page 511, I'm willing to expand my ideas a bit.

It is wrong that just sitting in my house, unless right in front of the A/C or fan, results in sweatiness. WRONG.

throat still sore and slightly swollen. wah!

Kat, even I don't want to see wedding crashers. Vince or no Vince, it doesn't look worth it. That could be my Owen hate talking.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

For some reason, I'm resistant to starting the new Harry Potter. I think it's because I'm hip-deep in another really good YA novel at the moment, and I'm afraid HP will suffer by comparision

Anne, what YA novel are you reading?

I'm admitting I want to finish this ASAP so Lori then ita can read it and so I can go back to my YA list. I have the Ellen Wittlinger, and the new Julie Peters to go.

Embrace the Owen not-hate, msbelle. Also, wherefore the sore throat.

Owen icks me out.

I have NO IDEA why I have a sore throat, it is only one side. Dr. said it looked ok, but SHE WAS WRONG. I think somehow it is meara's fault or something.

OH! I work right next to a place where I can get a free pass to see a Thursday screening of The Island. WHOOT!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just finsihed the new HP and loved it a lot. Definitely not a placeholder, Kat. Now must go think about it.
