Endings and Beginings, and some more snow

I finished A Northern Light this morning, and the ending totally caught me unawares....I was just giving up hope that there would be a happy ending, but don't worry: there is one. You just have to stick it out to the end.

Good life lesson, right? Works with just about everything. Except skydiving. You probably don't want to wait till the end to pull your parachute. Not that I know...I'm terrified of heights, and you couldn't get me to skydive for a thousand bucks. Maybe a million....

Anyway. Now I'm visiting the realm of one of my favorite authors, Tamora Pierce, with The Realm of the Gods. It's the 4th in The Immortals series, which follows the life of Daine (Veralidaine Sarrasri...don't worry, I can't pronounce that either) and her discovery that she has Wild Magic (magic with animals) in the realm of Tortall. If you've ever read Tamora Pierce before, I recomend this, it's one of my favorite series of hers. If you haven't, you definetly should. She's a brilliant author. And all her books have wonderful female heroes. Male too, but the female's are the main characters.

School's on a two hour delay today, because of the falling white stuff I mentioned in my last post. It's freezing but beautiful. It'll make running after school much more interesting, that's for sure...
