in less than 2 complete days, i am scheduled to slog around in the woods for like 7 hours. in the rain. woowoo?

finished reading the witch is dead. it was okay. sort of a C+ effort. there was a lot of good stuff in it, but it didn't exactly tie together. i mean, all the loose ends wrapped up, but the main characters are supposed to be psychic good witches sort of like charmed except much older. but if the main point was supposed to be the psychic stuff, well then somehow it wasn't explored deeply enough. maybe b/c this was book 5 in the series, the author didn't explore these themes thoroughly, but the result was distinctly dissatisfying. the psychic stuff seemed like an afterthought sort of jammed into a mystery story. in conclusion, i probably won't be reading any others in the series.

next up - syren by angie sage. woowoo! i finally rose to the top of the hold list at the liberry. i am a good bit excited about it. in case you're wondering what to get me for xmash, the complete set of septimus heap books would be stellar. or, the magykal papers - the inside scoop on the world of septimus. woowoo!
