I love to re-watch things, but even I am not ready to re-watch Eclipse!

I'm maybe about 2/3 done with A Coven of Witches (The Last Apprentice / Wardstone Chronicles #6.5). So I'll probably return that and Eclipse this weekend.

April seemed so far away that I wasn't paying attention to my library holds that were due to come active in April, so now I have a bunch of stuff coming in to the library all at once this week!

I'm planning on watching Beauty and the Beast! Probably not for a little while though. I never go to the theater, so I will wait until it's on Netflix, or on demand, or on DVD at the library. I heard they are going to do a live action Mulan next. I'm even more excited for that one!

Wow, that sounds fun!

I think I am going to give up on Oliver Caine's in Trouble Again. It's not awful. But it's really mediocre and forgettable, and I feel like I'm forcing myself to read it and not enjoying it at all.

It was at some points fun, but most of the time you where standing and waiting to go to the movie. Everyone was only talking to the people they know.. So I was standing there with a friend..

To bad, but when you don't enjoy its better to stop. Most of the times a try it a year later again.

Sounds like a pain to read this book :/ Stop to read it would probably be the best solution.

Narnia... I also have difficulties reading this style. Had the same problem with Tolkien's Hobbit. I like the story and think it's interesting and one can totally imagine the fictional world and characters. But somehow I get distracted while reading, probably because of too many details? Don't know. So it's hard for me to read it, too.

I haven't read the Percy Jackson books yet, but I will definitely get them in English, but no idea about the cover yet. I loooove the movies. But the critics said that the movies are far worse than the books which are brillant in comparison, so I need to read them :)

(Keep forgetting to post in this thread).

Finished Legilimens! and going to start the second book for my thesis today.
