Unusually for me I'm finding it extremely difficult to finish a book these days. I'm in the middle of 3 different books right now and since I just bought a couple of other books, this list is probably only going to grow. Or maybe I'll find one of these 2 interesting enough to read from cover-to-cover and snap out of the general state of limbo I've been in of late. The suspense keeps me enthralled.
One of the 2 books I ordered is Ptolemy's Gate, the third and final book in Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeous Trilogy. After Histrionix raved about it, I decided that on second thoughts Amulet of Samarkand was fairly enjoyable and decided to check out the second book. It did not disappoint and was also the last book I actually managed to finish reading. All good signs.
Decorating your room can be loads of fun (and work) as I've been discovering. I've only done a half-baked job at it so far but I'm enjoying the cosiness of the everything-on-the-floor setup, which incidentally was forced on me when the roof of the old townhome I've moved into decided to deny queen sized box-springs access up the stairs. But now my bean bag is at the same height as my mattress and it all seems to fit. Funny how things work out.
Aargh more entries in the list of my car woes! I managed to discharge my car battery again sometime back and today I broke my rearview mirror while coming out of the garage. My poor car even got some scratches.

:) u shud have stuck with u'r rental re :D wud have felt less bad abt scratches mirrors et al
Yeah true. Damaging rentals hurts so much less. Anyways my car should be all fixed and back under my (not too kind) handling soon. I hate that garage! Hate it!
i am still looking for Golem's eye. i don't know if anyone in insti has it. i think i might have to buy.
Been meaning to read Ptolemy's Gate for a while now. Totally enjoyed the first two.
You might also want to try out The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
Hey, thanks for dropping in. Yes Ptolemy's Gate wasn't disappointing either. I've got started on Artemis Fowl now which is good but somewhat more childish.
Yup, that's what Stroud and Butcher have in common in their writing styles, humour with real world sarcasm and wit thrown in, which is usually missing from the Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl types.
Very pretty site! Keep working. thnx!
