Alright...i read the book! i didn't buy it...but i did go and beg my librarian to give me the book first and i went at 9 in the morning to collect the copy! After all the waiting...after all the speculations...after all the expectations...i have to say i feel let down. I fell cheated. cheated of the right to a good book with a decent ending. after all the hype this book created...i find it less than ordinary.. the worst part..characters were killed with no proper reason. i know it was the "war" but some of the deaths were totally unnecessary. totally unnecessary. and dear god i did not get the epilogue! i mean what the hell was that?! Albus Severus!??! seriously?? what was she thinking?!?! and not one mention of George...poor poor George! and will someone please tell what that baby like thing was at Kings Cross that Harry felt repulsed by?! but the book wasn't all bad...some parts were really good! i totally 'dug' the holey joke! and Ron...There cannot be another fictional character in a million years that i would love more. i'm so grateful that jk didn't kill him off! so so grateful!!

Oh well...College's started. Third semester SUCKS!!! period.

I have got to say Khaled Hosseini is a genius. I got to read his second book - A Thousand Splendid Suns. The book is brilliant! I did like The Kite Runner better but this book is no less. It's a really nice read and i hope i get to read more books of his. Oh yeah I even started Stephen King. The first one - Misery. This book is so twisted that i love it! Like it says in the book...the whole story is so vivid!! i can literally picture everything that's happening in there like as if it were real and live! it's scary in that sense. Can't wait to read more of his books! thanks to this sucky semester i'm getting to read more books. there is a good for every bad in this world!lol
Oh a Happy Friendship Day to everyone. Personally i don't think too much of the day. For one thing people you've almost forgotten or are sure don't exist anymore come to wish you. It just feels like such a lie. Sure i think it's nice to get such messages or calls but it all seems so shallow. Just to go with the flow - Happy Friendship Day! Hope everyone has had a blast!
