Holy God, this book is scary. I had completely forgotten how terrifying the scene in the graveyard is. Damn. Goblet of Fire isn’t as unfavoritey to me as I remembered it being. I don’t know why I was so cranky about it. I mean, apart from the Blast-Ended Skrewts, which were a much less important part of the book than I was remembering, and the fact that this book is hard on poor Harry, Goblet of Fire isn’t half bad. I was expecting that I would reread it and decide after all that I liked it even less than Chamber…

Of course my camera isn’t working. I mean, that makes total sense. Of course right this very day on which I got my cool new commonplace book from Ella at Box of Books, of course that would be the day my camera would choose to not work. It won’t save any pictures I take! So you’ll just have to take my word for it that the new commonplace book I got in the mail today is incredibly cool and pretty. I wish I were crafty. I can’t make anything. I’m terrible at drawing and I’m worse at crafts. The only…
1 CommentThe addiction continues. This one’s about a school shooting. Only one silly thing happens, and it’s not all that silly. Definitely not as silly as poisoning the Louisiana priest with antifreeze in his cocoa. …I can’t do this. I don’t have the heart to continue reviewing this. I’m too depressed. I’m about to go directly into a decline. I’m taking to my bed and I may never rise from it again. I have several seasons of Gilmore Girls out from the library, my computer is plugged in, I have my cross-stitching, and I can stay lying in this flip chair…
Leave a CommentSigh. I know she’s better than this. Ms. Picoult is an excellent writer. She does good dialogue, her characters are generally consistent, the little kids are really good little kids. In each case where I have begun reading a book of hers, I have stayed up way past my bedtime finishing it. (In the case of Vanishing Acts, I was already up thoroughly late because I was introducing my friend Teacher to Firefly and I didn’t want to let her leave until she totally liked it and had stopped saying snide things about Kaylee. Victory!) So I will not suggest…
3 CommentsThe fact that I stopped reading All Families Are Psychotic and started reading this is just further proof that I think an enormous lot of thoughts in my brain, and many of them are rather irrational. In this case, my thinking was that if I was going to be disappointed in Douglas Coupland I’d rather be disappointed sooner than later. So instead of reading All Families are Psychotic, which Nymeth said was pretty good, I read Miss Wyoming, which I’d heard wasn’t very good at all. And then I shall read JPod because it looks strange, and then I shall…
