emilie_rainbowAwkward library find of the day: note that says "Dear Amy, don't get so mad at me when I try to help you. I ordered you these skin supplements as well so hope they help as I know the next period is going to be stressful for you, big hugs and kisses, Mom." Not that awkward, but I always feel weirdly voyeuristic when I read notes left in library books. Also, "Mom", if "Amy" is getting mad at you for helping, I don't think telling her she has bad skin is going to help, lol.
Saw Harry Potter last night with Trevor. That movie was filled with so much awkwardness, but I loved it. Yeah, they left stuff out and there was stuff I didn't like (how they handled the Half Blood prince thing, romance resolution, the way the Death Eaters left Hogwarts), but I really enjoyed it overall and felt like they did a good job of balancing the light romantic silliness with the heaviness of what was "really" going on. But I still don't ship Harry/Ginny, sorry. Harry/Luna, ftw. Also kind of Snape/Draco? Which was weird for me because I totally didn't see it in the books, but in the movie...mmmm. And Draco cried in the bathrooms like an emo kid, which I was waiting for through the whole movie. :D
Next up is Comic Con which I am getting more and more excited for. There aren't a ton of panels I want to go to, but there are enough and it will be so awesome to have people I know there!
Oh, and does anyone have any good book recommendations for me? I like books about female characters, that aren't too sad or written before 1900. Other than that, I'm open.

Also, what's your updated status/decision on Azkatraz?

Date: 2009-07-18 12:38 am (UTC)Middlesex is very good. If you want something more YA and less academic I have THREE recommendations:
1.) Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr--a girl can see faeries who are mischievous and scary and walk among us. Love interest, conflict, etc, ensues...
2.) City of Bones by Cassandra Clare--a girl meets demon hunters a la Buffy. Hottest love interest EVER. Deeply troubled & way more badass than Edward Cullen. The end is a bit off, imho, but it's part of trilogy.
3.) Marked by P.C. Cast--the trashiest of the three. About a Vampire HS. Complete romance novel/trashy action novel, etc. but SO good. There's like 6 books so far and I don't know how many there'll be total.
