It's been confirmed: The fourth and final novel in Christopher Paolini's epic Inheritance cycle, itself titled Inheritance, is due November 8. I first tried to read Eragon (the first one) when I was ten, and ended up finishing it when I was eleven-going-on-twelve. I loved it. The movie was rather disappointing, but still OK. I'm listening to "Battle for Varden" from the soundtrack now. I might have mentioned in an earlier post that I won an Eldest preview CD at the midnight release party for Half-Blood Prince. I loved Eldest and later Brisingr, but the first holds a special place in my heart. I've waited quite a while for this, eager but patient, and now it's payed off. The cover features the green dragon mentioned in one of the other books, and it looks awesome. I heard it is going to be really long, but bring it on: I love things with epic scope. Speaking of which, I still need to finish The Stand, which had about 400 pages left for me (my edition has 1,141, so that's not a lot). But for now, I read Mockingjay. Toodles!
Peace and love,
Lewis

Pensieve: The Party of the Prince
So yeah, I'm a Potter nerd. Shocking? Hardly, say I, but I do know myself pretty well. So I wasn't sure what to post, so I decided to share a memory (hence the pensieve).
When I was ten, my good friend Pam took me and her daughter and granddaughter to the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (the book). I was on summer break at the time, between fourth and fifth grade. I remember scrambling for a costume, and making an attempt at a Harry one (original!), and somehow won a prize for it: an Eldest CD with chapter one read by the author, followed by and interview with him (on the CD--I've never met Paolini, though I would love to, and my Aunt Kelly has). Now you see, this was around my "start a hundred books and finish none of them" phase, which I wish had never happened. But it did, and that's that. I saw a teacher from my elementary school there, although as she married that summer, I am not sure if she was Ms. Lee or Mrs. Hargett then.
I remember going to Barnes & Noble and having fun, then to the mall food court across the street, then to a store I had never known about: Quail Ridge Books & Music (for those of you who don't know, I go there pretty much every two weeks now for a writing group). Now sadly, I had not read the series yet, but when I did (when I was twelve), I loved them. I ought to reread them nowadays.
I also went to the Deathly Hallows one, but that was two years later, and I knew some more of you people then. For now, that's most of what I remember.
I solemnly swear I am up to no good,
