Don't you love alliteration? I know I do.

I also loved The Tales of Beedle the Bard, even though I consider it too short. I was delighted when I opened this one Christmas day! The stories themselves are charming, yes, even the Hairy Heart one. And I especially enjoyed the commentary by Albus Dumbledore at the end of every wizarding fairy-tale.

And by too short, I mean it took me less than an hour to read the entire thing. It was sad that it ended so quickly. Although I would like to put my vote in for publishing Hogwarts; A History next.

And so I moved on to Twilight and to my surprise I was sucked in! I became so enamoured with it so quickly and thoroughly that after reading 3/4 of of it I had to stop. I can't read another page until I have the other three and won't have to stop for anything then. It would just be too sad to finish the first one and not be able to immediately pick up the second!

Having said that, did anyone find themselves laughing out loud while reading this one? And I don't mean laughing at it (haven't I just said how much I love it?). But really, now. I found myself so delighted with certain parts of the narration and dialogue, that I just had to laugh.

Ahh, well. It's taking more willpower than I thought it would to keep from reading the rest of Twilight, but for the moment I'm contenting myself with Odd Hours the fourth book in Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas series. Also highly amusing at times.
