Omigosh I love Giselle.  My mother was a dancer, so I know all the famous ballets & that's one of my favorites, along with Coppelia and Firebird (that's what it's called, right?).

After seeing some scenes from Romeo and Juliet, I have now come up with a slightly different point of view on it.  As a love story, it is overrated and horrible.  As a story about death, it is fantastic.

I have nothing to read. I'm rereading It's Kind of a Funny Story right now. I put some books on hold at the library, but they aren't going to come in for a while.

Finished (finally!) The Burning Bridge after English midterm exams and then started Shadow and Bone after the science midterm (I finished an hour early, it was ridiculous.  The entire test was really short.)

Currently reading DANDELION FIRE, of the 100 CUPBOARDS series. It's a really great series! Anyone read it???

 

Also, in class, we are reading THE GIVER by Lois Lowry. I'm on chapter 14.

 

Whoa! The captcha wrote, 'Macy'!

Gave in and re-read Eleanor and Park all yesterday.  Now I can't have it count as one of 100 books for another year... :-(

Also, it gave me more reasons to not like Romeo and Juliet.

The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman for the second time.

The Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley. Not very good, but I like how she writes.

I'm reading All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. It is so incredibly good.

I have a friend who is obsessed with James Herriot.  OBSESSED, I tell you.

Started Hamlet last night because Shakespeare is taking over my brain and also Rosencrantz acting is a thing...
