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.
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.
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!
Just finsihed the new HP and loved it a lot. Definitely not a placeholder, Kat. Now must go think about it.
Anne, what YA novel are you reading?
Summerland,
by Michael Chabon. It's got some qualities to it that remind me of some of Ray Bradbury's stuff.
And I just finished
The Curse of Chalion
which was a fun book indeed. My roommate had a copy of the HP book on order that she picked up today, so I should be able to get my hands on it sooner or later....
