Bookworm
Nothing very exciting has been happening over the past few days, really.
I read Twilight in its entirety in about a day and a half and it was AMAZING. Unfortunately, New Moon is currently checked out, so I'm waiting very impatiently for it to be returned. Right now I'm in the middle of Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley. I'd read it in the 7th grade and found it again and I love it. I also checked out The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (the 2nd book in the Narnia series was, of course, checked out...) and I had The Golden Compass and the Amber Spyglass in His Dark Materials on hold. The Golden Compass is finally in, but I'm trying to finish Beauty before I go back. If only the books I really want to get on with weren't checked out... Oh and I tried to find the Looking Glass Wars, but the library doesn't have it. The search thinger doesn't even recognize the name of the author. Perhaps I'll have better luck with that one at Waverly's library...
Tomorrow Nate turns 13! Teenager. Wierd. I get to take him and his friends to see the Simpson Movie, as it comes out on his actual birthday and he's the biggest Simpson fan I've ever met. My mom was going to take them and I was planning on staying home, but some family drama arose and after a day of lots of freaking out on her part a compromise has been reached...she has to leave, but an aunt is driving so we at least have a car for me to take him. *sigh* Well, already paid for movie ticket and a slushy and my dad threatening my brother within an inch of his life so he'll actually *listen* to me (as I'm in charge and he NEVER ever does...) kind of makes up for it. ;) Ha. It'll be fun.
Well, I should go finish off Beauty so I can get The Golden Compass. I'll probably start on Narnia before that one, but they only hold books for so many days. I've also got Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens, an aunt gave that one to me YEARS ago and I never got around to reading it. Along with the LOTR trilogy, due to school I only made it through the first chapter of Two Towers. And a few murder mysteries another aunt loaned to my mom. And the fact that I have to reread book 7 five times before I can finally go through the entire series, books one through 7, like I've wanted to for a while now. Yay reading!!! =]=]=]
