NO SPOILERS...
We went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (book #5) a few weeks back. I liked it! The movies seem to be maturing just as the characters are. I was so intrigued by the storyline from this movie that I had to know what was going to happen! Indy had Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (book #6) on his bookshelf, so I started to read it. Loved it. The book picks up right where the movie left it. Couldn't put it down. I was so anxious to complete book #6 so I could read the final installment, book #7, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Well, I bought #7 and have finished it. WOW! Fantastic! Surprises all the way through. Clever lady that J.K. Rowling. I can hardly wait to see #6 and #7 come to the "big screen", although it will be 2008 and 2010 before this happens. So this means I wait. I may have to re-read #7 before then!
No one else here at home have read either #6 or #7. They were pretty quick to try and get me to break and let them know the juicy details. I laugh at them. You want to know??? READ THE BOOKS... lol :)
My girlfriend Susan is amazingly artistic and talented in everything she does. (It must run in your family, Susan.) Susan sent an email the other day with a link to her cousin, Tina Nichols Coury's blog. Tina is a children's author and artist. I LOVED it! So... I've added it, along with Susan's new family blog, to my Awesome Blogs list. Take a look sometime. I think you'll enjoy it too!!
This is the item Susan sent that intrigued me to take a look further. Isn't this FUN? (As excerpted from Tina's blog site)
"As I said before, I consider the SCBWI National costume ball an art performance piece. Every year, around April, they announce the theme. This year it took me approximately two seconds to know what to do for the Silvery Moon Ball, I would become the Silvery Moon Queen. I would be decorated with famous children's book paintings with the name "Moon" in the title and of course I would paint them in silver. These are the books I chose to wear:
Good Night Moon, Kitten's First Full Moon, The Cow that Jumped Over the Moon, Walk Two Moons and the Golden Kite honor winner for non-fiction, Team Moon. "
