Three more books down. Oh, okay, I listened to two of them, but I finally, finally, finished Brisingr! That alone makes me feel so, so . . . free. Here are my thoughts on the books:
Wintersmith is the third in the Tiffany Aching series, and was funny and thought-provoking as the other two. Little Tiffany keeps on growing up, and as she hones her magical abilities, her responsibilities keep increasing. I loved listening to this book. The Wee Free Men kept me laughing with their bumbling but earnest ways. And Tiffany learns a few lessons about love and lost, legend and legacy. Good read!
I'm practically tap-dancing to have finished this book! I keep trudging through the series because at parts the story holds my attention and I want to know more.
But then . . . it becomes boring and dragged out and forever long. Seven hundred–plus pages to basically found out what the title of this book means—that's what I discovered. I'm still not convinced that I really this series. The new book comes out in a month. I don't think I'll stand in line to get it, but I'll borrow it from my roommate . . . a few months down the road.
Oh, Harry Potter. I loved reading you when you first came out. And I really, really loved listening to you. I listened to this book while exercising (a common thing for me to do is to listen to audiobooks while exercising. I get lost in the story and thirty minutes fly by!). By the end, I wished—once again—that there was one more book to this series. I guess the movies fulfilled my wish in a way. Anywho, great book and great series. I can't be disappointed here.
In other unrelated news, I've decided to buy a new camera. I've loved my little Casio Exilim, but I think I want to go up one (or maybe half) level, which means I gotta put down some cash for it. GULP. Yeah, I like to save money, but in this one thing, I want to get something nice that will last for years to come. Suggestions? I've been looking at the Nikon s8200 Coolpix and the Casio Exilim ZR100. I have a couple of months to make the decision.
