Hello all! This post was meant to go up yesterday, but I had a whole lot of things to do that I couldn't miss and then when the day was over, I had to do homework. And then after that, I just wanted to sleep!
Anyway, here is my Beginning of the week reading update.
So, over the weekend, I didn't actually get much reading done. I've managed to get to about page 175 in Wicked. It's finally picking up speed a little bit. The beginning was so slow, and at this point, I'm not sure if we needed all of that background information. But, I still have a chunk of reading left to go, so we shall see.
Since this post is so short, I also wanted to include my March Wrap-Up. As you know, I read all seven of the Harry Potter books this past month. Let me just say that it was AWESOME! I had forgotten a bunch of the smaller details that they didn't include in the movies. It was great to see Peeves again and more of Dobby and Kreatcher. I really wish they had included Kreatcher in the movies. His character arc is one of the best of minor characters I think there is. He goes from practically hating Harry, Ron, and Hermione to thinking that they are okay people. He even manages to stop calling Hermione a "mudblood".
One of the biggest things I think I'd forgotten was Phineious Nigellous Black (I know that's not spelled correctly, but I'm too lazy to look it up! :P). Even though he was such a minor character, he was rather important in the final book. When Hermione took his portrait down and put it in the beaded bag and then blindfolded him, I realized how important this was to the story.
If you want, I can create a separate post for my feelings on each book.
And as for the end of the month, I started Wicked by Gregory Mcguire. As you can see from above, I've only read about 175 pages so far.
As for a TBR for April, I'm not really sure what I'm going to read. I don't have a "Spring Break" at my High School, but we do get an extended weekend for Easter, so I'm hoping to be able to finish at least Wicked if I haven't before then.
I was able to pick out the books I wanted in my Easter Basket so, I think I will read some of those (I will have a proper haul up when I actually receive the books, because I've forgotten what some of them are!).
One of the books was Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman, I know that for sure. I want to read that before the new season is released on Netflix in June, so that's on my TBR for this month. I'd also like to start the Throne of Glass series as well as finally get to Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick and Dead Girls Detective Agency by Suzy Cox. And of course finish Wicked. I'll keep you posted through my weekly updates and end of the month wrap up.
I hope you guys are having a great start to your week. It's snowing here again......... So much for Spring.
But anyway,
I'll type at you later!
