With that said, I did have a very lovely weekend. I convinced my dear husband that a trip to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure was in need so that our children could get their yearly fix of Barney, ET and all the Dr. Seuss their little hearts could dream of. And, of course, so mommy could oversee what was happening with the Harry Potter "island" that is expected to open this Spring.
Here are some of the pictures for your viewing pleasure:
They have this ginormous wall all around the area - but I did catch a glimpse of where the entrance is and that sign right there (bottom pic on the right) says Hogsmeade. eek! Needless to say this was the highlight of my trip. Look at all those curvy chimneys. I swear they made my heart pitter patter.
Check out this post (this was last year) - you can see these guys are really moving fast. So Spring 2010 - here I come. I will definitely be there for its debut.
Also, I never got around to posting pictures of Richelle Mead reading I went to the weekend before last.
I thought it was just oodles of fun that we were in a church for the reading/signing and the discussion was about vampire books. Richelle was just plain adorable. I have more pictures of her while she was discussing her books, but they came out too dark... so bleh.
And that's all the picture awesomeness that I have to share with y'all.
Here's what I plan on reading this week:
Last week I read the following:
- Tainted - Brooke Morgan [review]
- Fireworks Over Toccoa - Jeffrey Stepakoff
- Damien - Jaquelyn Frank
I had a terrible week since I didn't get any reading done in the weekend. I'm still carrying over Vampire Academy (which I really want to get to Isalys).
I reviewed the following:
- A Black Tie Affair - Sherrill Bodine [review/giveaway]
- Lament - Maggie Stiefvater [review]
- Columbine - Dave Cullen [review]
And there you have it, that was my week and my reading plans for this one. What are you reading this week?
