Battle Axe by Sara Douglas

Best thing is, Sara Douglas was born in South Australian and is now a world acclaimed writer. Go You Good Thing!

Well I should have been reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but my cousin hasn't stopped over at my place to let me borrow it yet.

I should probably note that I've become something of a Harry Potter fan over the last month. I was forced to read the first Potter book about four weeks ago, which I begrudgingly did. Since then I got through the following four books in about 3 weeks, which is incredibly fast by my standards. I love em!

currently reading Book 2 of Richard A. Knaak's Warcraft: War of the Ancients trilogy.

it's pretty good, has some pretty funky ideas for a fantasy book, a genre that is flooded with very stereotypical trite. that's not to say it doesn't exist here too, but there's a few new (well, to me at least) ideas to keep me interested past the whole Warcraft/Azeroth setting.

it's set during the first invasion of the Burning Legion, when the continent was whole and the moonwell existed. prior to the orcs, prior to the humans, prior to the fall of the Dragons and the rise of Deathwing

i think perhaps i should've read the first Warcraft book trilogy first, as some of the characters i think are pulled from there, while others are prevalent through the Warcraft Mythos (Azshara, Malfurian, Tyrande, Illidan, Manneroth, Archimonde, Sargeras, Cenarius, Neltharion)

Singing the Dog Star Blues...I've only gone through 50 pages and have gotten incredibly bored. It's too Sci Fi for my taste and I can barely get into it. However have to keep reading due to it being apart of my next assignment.

Love Hina Graphic Novel 11: Series is kind of getting too far out for me at the moment especially with Keitaro's sister being introduced into the series. Though I still like some of the humour that's in it I hope it improves in the next Graphic Novel.

Harry Potter 6: I must be the slowest reader on this book, I gave up on it after Npie ruined it for me however decided to keep reading to find out what all the commotion is about with Harry and Ginny.

Rugby League Books/Mags: Anything Rugby League related I read, whether it be a book or a magazine.

Well the new fridge manual, just to ensure there wont be deyshavou (not sure bough spelling)

After the door fell off the last one and i was in front of it i've never looked at fridges the same again. Instead of them being a place of sancuary and a way to get rid of the munchies its now a game of russian roulette will it fall now, or now, or now..... life or death.

I just got a new book. Kind of a 1 month slump since I finished reading Harry Potter - Half Blood Prince. Before that there was a 4 month slump where I completed Laura Shaine Cunninghams - Beautiful Bodies.

Now I recently obtained Sarah Darmody's - Ticket to Ride: Lost and Found in America. Published by Bantam

The gist of it involves Sydney born Darmody who won the Green Card lottery in 2002 to go and live and work in America for as long as she wants. She ends up taking a national bus roadtrip stopping by at towns to see the real America post 9/11.

I'm about to enter the 4th chapter where she is about to stop by at the Greyhound Bus terminal in Miami; the first city she starts her journey at.

I've finally got my hands on Half-Blood Prince. Only one chapter in at the moment, and it's already got my attention!

Goblet of Fire is my favorite of the series so far. It always great when things go from happy and cheery, to dark and dangerous. I can't wait for the movie at the end of the year!
