Just in case you haven’t seen/read Harry Potter, this short video has a great montage from all the films. If that doesn’t make you want to check them out, well, then you’re a loser. Just kidding. Sort of.

The One In Which It All Ends
Yeah. Sorry for the dramatic title. The “It” to which I refer is Harry Potter, not the world, or my life, or anything like that. It was the summer of 2003. I was working at a summer camp, and all around me, little girls in hats and shorts were carrying around huge books with blue … Continue reading »
Stolen Book Meme
I stole this from Calah at Barefoot and Pregnant. She is hilarious, and serious, and I love reading her blog. Go check her out if you haven’t yet! And now, the absurdly long book meme that I am going to answer, rather than washing the dishes. Virtue in action my friends. 1. Favorite childhood book? … Continue reading »
Why the Saints?
Just to be clear right away, if you’re looking for a post on football, this isn’t it. I’m not talking about why you should be a fan of a certain football team that is known as “the Saints”. Obviously if I was going to write a post about why you should support a football team, … Continue reading »
Any Good Reads?
Friends, I’m looking for a good read. Now, I know what you must be saying, “You work at the library? Aren’t there good reads there?” I work at a branch library, which is great. But what I mean by “good read” is that I’m looking for a good, non-theology-textbook-type book on spiritual growth. Spiritual growth … Continue reading »
Growing up Feminine — 20 Years Later
I’m blogging today over at Ladies Who Blog Book Club, on chapter 2 of “Feminism is Not the Story of my Life” by Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, on femininity and feminism. I read all of chapter 2, waiting for her to get to the really good stuff. Then I realized that the chapter was over. Oops. My … Continue reading »

We had two chats about the book; it was so exciting to actually talk with someone I feel that I know so much about. … Continue reading »
Books Galore!
In the last week or so, I’ve looked around me and realized that I’m under a deluge of books. And I love it! I keep stumbling upon books that look so very delicious to me. Some of them are being re-read in order to work on a blog post, some are new, and blog related, … Continue reading »
The Pure of Heart
This may not actually make a whole lot of sense to people unfamiliar with the series, but, then again, themes of good and evil are universal. “It is Voldemort’s fault you were able to see into his thoughts, his ambitions, that you even understand the snakelike language in which he gives his orders, and yet, … Continue reading »
Summer Reading List!
Well…a lot has been happening! I have finished grad school, and will actually receive my diploma in August when I finish my thesis. WOOHOO. Needless to say, I am glad to be finished with school for now (forever?). I’ve started my own business as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. Basically I get to help … Continue reading »
