"The Beast" by Walter Dean Myers
I feel I should have something to say about this book, but I really don't know what it is. It was good, but I'm without commentary.
"Perfume: The Story of a Muderer" by Patrick Suskind
This was a royally messed-up story, in the awesomest of ways. It's a book about a psychopath with an amazing sense of smell, but no scent of his own - and the power of scent, even when we never notice it.
Book #13
"Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things" by Ted Naifeh
A graphic novel I was pre-screening for the kidlets. It's pretty awesome, actually. It's a few short stories about Courtney discovering the "night things" in the old mansion she and her family have moved into, and getting into your classic magical scrapes that she's just barely saved from by either mysterious Uncle Aloysius or her own smarts. Courtney has a bad attitude, and she's adorable - kinda Buffy, but brattier.
I think I may be missing something that I read...must check.
We saw "Junebug" the other night, also. I really, really liked it. And my budding crush on one Mr. Ben McKenzie kinda blossomed as I watched. I should have disliked his character, but I loved him. And the pregnant girl? Also horrible and wonderful and completely loveable. This movie just left me completely tickled. TICKLED I tell you. From the OH SO INDIE lengthy silent shots of trees and rooms to the cut scene with the gallon of tea, just...tickled. :)
There may be a big snowstorm on Wednesday, the first one we've really had this year. Could it be...a SNOW DAY? Only time will tell. I will keep you posted, friends.
