Books and Whatnots

I <3 books! I love reading about anything and everything under the sun. It's probably why I've such bad eyesight now. Hehe. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I finally went to the local library here in Tamworth and joined. I've been contemplating about doing this for a long time and now I want to kick myself for not doing so earlier. I could have joined the day we got here! Well as the saying goes, there's no use crying over spilled milk.

I love the atmosphere and energy of the library. I also love the fact that I can borrow not just books but magazines and DVDs as well. The first time I went there I ended up borrowing 5 books and 3 DVDs. Hehe. Such fun, and it's free,too! :)

Currently Reading: The Titan's Curse

Book 3 of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

Currently Reading: Sea of Monsters

Yes! I'm already reading the second book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. :)

Currently Reading: The Lightning Thief

I'm currently reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. It's the first installment of the 5-book saga Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I wasn't able to watch the movie when it was shown here in Australia. I'm not fussed though. One friend said the movie didn't do the book justice. For me it's always the case. I mean how can you compress three hundred or so pages (heaps more for some books like Harry Potter) into less than two hours of film? Going back to Percy Jackson, I'm halfway through the first book and I'm really enjoying it. It's a very light read and the fact that I've always been interested in mythology is a plus. I know it's a young adult book but who cares? =)
