I mean they aren't using them anymore...even if Fred, George, Ron, and Harry still need the textbooks, couldn't Bill or Charlie, who already graduated, pass their copies down to Ginny?


text: And My Husband Is A Slytherin.... 2013-12-04T23:19:00+00:00 2013-12-04T23:19:00+00:00 readingwolf I'm going to agree wholeheartedly with this rating. Of course he was, in my observation, really close to being a hatstall. On the preference question he chose "no preference" so if he would have chosen either Gryffindor or Slytherin, maybe even Hufflepuff, he would have been whichever house he chose. 











45% Ravenclaw, 49% Hufflepuff, 50% Slytherin and 50% Gryffindor!

Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.

          Slytherin's cardinal traits are ambition, cunning and determination. Like the Gryffindor House, Slytherins are emotionally volatile. In contrast, however, Slytherins are much less dominant and assertive, and less extroverted in general. Rather than expressing these emotions outwardly, Slytherins direct them inward or act in a passive aggressive manner. Both Gryffindor and Slytherin are much more driven to succeed than the other two houses: Gryffindor out of pride and Slytherin out of ambition.


          Slytherins are also much more pragmatic than the other houses and more adept at manipulating people. A key trait would be a low level of agreeableness: Slytherins are more pessimistic, more distrustful than most, and more likely to attribute negative motivations to people. So although Slytherins experience a wide range of emotions, due to their distrustful views of people and skeptical worldview, they are less expressive and more likely to appear cold or distant unless provoked.          

          A Slytherin's ambitious nature comes out in different ways depending on what is important to the individual person. It could lead them to try to achieve top marks (if intellect and schooling is important to them) but it could also be directed at social settings or towards athletic endeavors.

I'm happy with the results.






67% Ravenclaw, 51% Hufflepuff, 47% Slytherin and 36% Gryffindor!




Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

if you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind;

14% - The Lightning Thief


This is how far I made it last night. Haven't sat down to read for today because I had quite a busy day. My dad's hospice nurse showed up for her weekly appointment. I desperately needed to journal some things weighing on my mind. My phone stopped getting signal, so had to mess with it for about an hour or so. AND we had a Beagle show up in our driveway.



Not sure whose dog it is but I posted a Found ad on Craigslist...then some wise ass with no brains decided to text me with a link that turned out to be a trojan downloader program. (It was in reply to the ad, that's what I get for leaving my phone number for the owner to call.) 


Then one of my cats, the demon spawn one, decided it was a good idea to jump into the trash can. So I had to give her a bath. I'm wearing exactly 5 bandages. 


So...I'm thinking rest and relaxation time. Yeah....

text: 33% 2013-11-18T21:44:00+00:00 2013-11-18T21:44:00+00:00 readingwolf Since the Harry Potter Group Read starts today and I am attempting to read the entire Percy Jackson and the Olympians series in sync with HP, I might not finish this for a while. 

But so far the book seems interesting, I just haven't been able to devote a lot of time to reading. Some bull reasons really, mostly I can't keep focused. And too much noise around the house. There is no where to get away from it. 


I find Donna to be a really interesting character and hope to get to the real meat of the story soon. 



text 2013-11-18T21:03:00+00:00 2013-11-18T21:03:00+00:00 readingwolf I'm trying to do this thing where I don't judge people by what they read. I know there are people out there who will judge me by the books I enjoy. Frankly, it makes people feel like shit when you judge them based on their taste in books, clothes, or how they communicate with the world.

But considering it is a novella there is not much I can say about the characters, plot, and setting that wouldn't spoil the story. So your basic run down is the plot is interesting, the characters are actually funny at times, and I only found a few flaws in the story.











review: Dust Girl by Sarah Zettel or Going Nowhere Backwards on a Treadmill 2013-11-09T06:01:00+00:00 2013-11-09T06:01:00+00:00 readingwolf I cannot say I truly enjoyed this book. It was boring at times and though full of wonderful details, none of them added anything to the story in my opinion. We know Callie has features of both white and black, she talks about how coarse her hair is plenty to get the point across. But we really never see her struggle because of her mixed "race". She is either assumed to be a white girl or glamoured when her skin color would give her away. There is only the internal struggle. 












 And the book ended with nothing resolved except a subplot and no real insight into what in the world is going on with the whole ordeal.

Callie herself was somewhat interesting but the majority of the time was spent talking about the color of her skin. Yes we know she is mixed, I would be more concerned with learning what it means to be a fairy than I would be with something I have known since I was a child. 

I liked the story but honestly I don't know if I would want to read the next two books. If they go nowhere or have no real hook to keep me reading, I can't say I would want to read them. I would rather just read a book that pulls me into the story.
