For now, however, we have to make due with books and movies.
When Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
came out, I dragged my husband to Third Place Books, wearing a costume, and hobnobbing with the other Muggles pretending to be wizards. I read the book the following morning and finished it in one sitting, sobbing at the sad parts, laughing with the jokes. I am looking forward to the last two movies with rabid anticipation and a creeping sadness. Daniel Radcliffe said there were lots of tears on the last day of shooting...There will be tears at my house as well.Of course, I looked at the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
with the same trepidation, and now I'm faced with having to buy the 10 year anniversary editions on blu-ray. What will replace this my Harry Pottter mania, the way Harry Potter did for my Lord of the Rings obsession?
At the moment, it's Lauren Willig's The Secret History of the Pink Carnation
series. Historical romance and fiction. I am waiting for The Betrayal of the Blood Lily
to come out in paperback. I'm also enjoying Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!
and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls
. I am a few chapters in to Dawn of the Dreadfuls, and so far it has been hilarious. My next purchase will be Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters
.How can a girl possibly go wrong with Zombies & Regency romance?
