I didn’t finish this. I think I only got about 50 pages or so into it. It was too confusing bouncing from person to person, from time to time. I had no idea who people were or even what time they were in – it bounced back and forth from when one of the characters [...]

I didn’t want to like this. Well, sort of I did, but I thought I wouldn’t. I mean, it seems like thanks to the success of the Anita Blake series, there are vampire stories all over. Oh, I know, Anne Rice started it all. I may even have to go back and re-read those.

It’s the final book of the series. I can’t believe it!
I liked it but I think I should have read all of the other books again to remember what went on in previous books. I was ticked off at some of the deaths. I mean, really, Hedwig? Why Hedwig? And why Dobby? Hell. Or was it [...]

I finished this just in time since I got Harry Potter the next morning.
I wish I had thought to read all of the books leading up to this one again. This was, by far, her best yet but there was a lot that I didn’t remember. I’m going to go back and re-read the books, [...]

Thoughts:
I really ought to not read this guy. It’s not that I don’t think that scientists are capable of this stuff and it’s not that I think it doesn’t happen. I just wish it didn’t. Sometimes, I prefer ignorance. If I were in “The Matrix”, [...]

When I was 8, I bought a 5-subject notebook and started my first book journal. All I wrote in it was the title of the book I read, the author, how many pages it had and the date that I finished it. I had that notebook for years until, in one of my many moves, [...]
