"Follow the Owl"

June 23, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary Leave a Comment

I found some screenshots for Pottermore.  Aren't they great? I was sad that I didn't do some sort of marathon for the very last Harry Potter movie ever, so I'm super excited about Pottermore because it will be just as fun, if not more. For Harry Potter 7.1 I had a marathon with my sisters.  I ... Read More »

And Pottermore is…

June 23, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: News Leave a Comment

I'm still not entirely sure.  It's not available until October but she called it a "reading experience" where you get added into the story.  You'll have to watch her announcement to understand what I'm talking about. One thing for sure is EBOOKS!!! YAY!   I didn't wake up at 5 am but I did have some weird ... Read More »

June 23, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 2 Comments

I'm getting that bogged down feeling when I've read something long and hard.  It's like eating really healthy, high-fiber food for a week and you just want a Twinkie or something.  I like long, hard books (and high-fiber food, for that matter) but I need something fluffy, sweet and entertaining to get me in the ...

Book Review: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

June 22, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

The beginning is kind of boring to get through, but once you get into her adult life it was a great page turner and one of the best Gothic love stories I have ever read.  In fact, someone pointed out to me that her childhood dragging on and on helps you suffer with her and ... Read More »

Book Review: Matched by Ally Condie

June 21, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

One of the best dystopian novels I've read. The world was one I could really see growing out of the one we live in. In fact, Cassia's world is supposed to be a utopia in a lot of ways and the dysfunction is not immediately obvious.  This made it all the more frightening because the world ... Read More »
