Frith O’Steen

If you have to ask what is happening in one week, then you really don’t know me very well!

I can’t believe the 6th  book is actually (almost) here! I cannot wait to get reading and then re-reading - and given the fact that having Decker around means I don’t really get to read unless it’s late at night, then I know for a fact I’m gonna be having some major book-hangovers in the coming days. It’s all worth it though!

Can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait!

And if you are a fellow HP fan and are also reading it straightaway - please DO NOT tell me anything! I do not want to hear any spoilers or what not! I’ll be happy to discuss it a month from now…but not until then!

Until the 16th rolls around, I’ll have to make do with some New Yorker articles and such. I finished “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell” about 2 weeks ago, and it was good but then I wanted to cleanse my palate (as it was a book about magic in England as well), so I read “Daughter’s Keeper” and “Assassination Vacation”, and they were both very good and very different and now I am ready and prepped for more magic and the genius that is JKR. (JKR trumps JRR - sorry rabid LOTR fans! Please don’t hate me!).

I do recommend “Daughter’s Keeper” and “Assassination Vacation”, by the way. Both writers are very good with words and descriptions, and Sarah Vowell made me laugh out loud!
