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
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

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.

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....

I haven't read any HP. Probably won't, either. Consign me to whatever.
msbelle, I admit an odd fondness to O.W. Not sure why, as he's not my type AT ALL. So disown me, whatever. It's the doofy happy thing, I think. And making me laugh at that stupid asteroid movie. Weakness for geologists.
I'm in a whatever mood.
Except... I'm REALLY going to miss my officemate next month. FUCK. Tearworthy,even. So would finding a nice leather laptop case and monogramming it be amiss?

Okay. Done. I take it back. The last 200 pages make this not a placeholder story. The last 50 are heartbreaking. Go Rowling.
