I asked Mim for permission for rights to post on her new blog. Obviously, I got them...Now what to do with such spectaculor power? Write a book review of course.
But at another time. Since Mim resides in the states and I reside in Spain, you´re going to be getting a lot of different reviews.
Let´s just say the Spanish dubbing of Prince of Persia was not as fun as it would´ve been in English. Though the jokes were relevant to Spain culture, a lot of it went over my head (probably since I´m American...).
Plus they kept mentioning vaca (cow) over and over again.
That can´t be right can it?

Winter is coming... in 2011 apparently
Okay, I don't even read A Song of Ice and Fire and I'm excited for this for none other than the fact that SEAN BEAN plays Eddard Stark. I will watch it (at least the pilot) though I have a feelings it's going to end up either magnificently awesome or just plain terrible (and not to mention expensive).

Oh shit, where did I put that book?!
I misplaced Bound by Donna Jo Napoli. I need to return all my books to the public library tomorrow, seeing as I am leaving town this weekend and won't return for a while. Shit, I know I brought it outdoors and read it while sunning myself. Hopefully, I didn't leave it outside. It's been raining recently, and the idea of soggy, lost books makes me sad.
I'm currently reading two other books as well: Little Sister by Kara Dalkey and Graceling by Kristin Cashore. Little Sister is a reread (I think I first read it in middle school) and I picked up Graceling because Wren and what seems like most of the reviewers on Amazon are mad about it.
So far, I have mixed feeling about Graceling. Frankly, I had a hard time getting through Part One and would have dropped the book if it didn't seem like an overwhelming majority of reviewers were raving about it. I stuck with it though and am glad I did because the plot started to pick up immediately after page 143.
Or at least it seemed to... Right now the events are dragging again, and the two main characters are traveling and... talking about their feelings.
Personally, I'm not feeling very emotionally invested in Katsa and Po's budding relationship. I'd rather have less romance and more Katsa stabbing people in the face. But hey, I'm on page... let's see... 237, so there's still time left to convince me.
On the plus side, my copy of The Hunger Games was returned to me today and I finally found out who has my copy of Catching Fire.
