Jacksprat Gets Lost in Fiction

  Interrupt me when I am reading to ask what the novel is about. Ask me, how I can  separate the plots of all the books I read when they see I read multiple books at the same time. Praise me for being a reader at such a young age. Start a conversation while I'm reading. When family members don't want to give me books for Christmas or my Birthday, because  they think it's boring.

  Current Reads: Bleak House by Charles Dickens.  On page 422 Home Work: A Memoir of my Hollywood Years by Julie Andrews Edwards Page  83 I find memoirs are easy non-fiction to read, so far.   This is my first nonfiction for Non-Fiction November.   I'm already 83 pages and find myself reading this quickly, but it does help I'm interested in this person.  Julie Andrews is such an interesting person and I would enjoy hearing her stories.  I just would love to hang out and have tea.  

I am continuing with pursuing my goal to read more classics this year.  I have read up 7 classics this year if I counted right.  The first classic I read is O Pioneers by Willa Cather, and I currently have My Antonia by her thanks to my sister.  It is a pretty good book with a simple plot during the time of the American Frontier during the early 1900s.  A young woman sacrifices her personal life to take of the family farm and family, but her brothers do not think she should be the one running it.  It's not a long story and has an accessible writing style. I listened to the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the first time on audio book.  It is a bit strange since I only know the story via the movies.  After O Pioneers, I read Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy.  The writing was good but something that happens to children was a bit too much for me to read.  I started the Barsetshire series by Anthony Trollop by reading The Warden in February. ...

Currently in April I'm participating the O.W.Ls Readathon hosted by G at Book Roast Booktube channel for the first time. I picked the career path of Magizoologists.  I have read the Graphic novel "The War of Jokes and Riddles" Vol. IV (Potions: Shrinking solution- a book that is under 150 pages.), Godsgave by Jay Kristoff (Charms- Lumos Maximus-a book with a white cover.), Woven in Moonlight by Isabel Ibanez (Care of Magical Creatures: Hippogriff- a book with a book on the cover.), On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King (Arithmancy- a book out of your favorite genre.), and I'm reading Merciful Crow by  Margaret Owen (Herbology: Mimbus Mimbletonia- A book that starts with the letter "M").  I'm also reading Black Powder War by Naomi Novik for the Seminar Dragon Training.  I would also like to get to The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton for the prompt Defense Against the Dark Arts: Grindylow--a book that takes place at the coast or by the water, a...

Dawn Summers:  She is Buffy's sister, who is introduced in season 5 and she turns out to be the "key" to open up into a demon dimension.  I know Dawn is seen as "annoying" and "whiny", but she is, to quote Spike, a hormonal time bomb that a demon God wants to bleed to death to open up the door to her home dimension.   She is also the younger sister to the slayer, seen as just a kid that is seen as someone they need to baby-sit, and is desperate to prove herself.  Next to Willow, she's the character I can relate the most too.  I have an older sister just like Dawn and can relate to wanting to be taken seriously. Riley Finn: He is Buffy's boyfriend in season 4 and half-way through 5.  Riley gets a lot of hate, especially after his actions in season 5.  I agree it was a dumb choice, but cannot help his insecurities or at least he won't get over it overnight.  I feel like it was partly Buffy's fault too, the problems they had.  Riley was...
