Readership of three! Hello! I'm not in Starbucks for once. I'm somewhere even better: a library. Specifically my school's library. I love this library so much. There's something so academic about it, with its large text books that don't really fit on the shelves and reading tables with the overhead personal lights. I usually sit in a certain room at a certain table but for today's post I mixed it up. I'm on the second floor in the main reading room. It's a change of pace.

I don't know how I let myself get behind on my posts, but I did. My life in general is pretty hectic and sitting down to write these reviews are like a breath of fresh air for me. I guess I haven't had time to breathe lately. Because I'm behind, I'm going to limit myself on this post to one paragraph for both books.

I read "Dealing with Dragons" as my going to sleep book. It's what I kept on my nightstand and what I read a chapter of before turning in for the night. I found it while I was cleaning and had loved it as a kid so I wanted to reread it. It was just as I remembered: short, fun, fantasy and fast. It's part of a whole series that I kind of want to read the rest of, but we'll see. To be honest, I dont own those, so it would require more effort. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is also a reread from my childhood. I'm rereading the entire series after studying a year abroad, and I'm taking my sweet, sweet time with it and loving every second. The fourth is particularly good, and has always been one of my favorites. I think Rowling really gets into her stride at this point and it's awesome to pick up on the hints that she drops throughout the book. Anyways, these two were throwbacks from my "youth." I'm putting youth in quotation marks because I'm still really young and feel weird saying it but I couldn't think of another way to say it. Adolescence? 

Anyway, two more down, two more reviews to come as soon as I feel like breathing again.

(This paragraph does not count, because it's in parenthesis. I LOVE HARRY POTTER AND IT IS A TOTAL INJUSTICE THAT THAT IS ALL I WROTE ABOUT GOBLET OF FIRE. I'll fangirl more about HP and J.K. when I finish Order of the Phoenix.... It'll give me something to look forward to!)
