I have just finished Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince - omg I love the Harry Potter books! I only started reading them for the first time at easter, when my mum gave me Philosopher's Stone (ironically I already knew the storyline because I had seen the movie), but after that I was hooked and I haven't stopped until I got to #6 - now I just have to wait for #7 to come out.

I was a bit disappointed though to read an article in the paper a while back that gave away the plot and one particular important event in Half Blood Prince, so I knew what was going to happen before I read it. Still a good read though.

I now have a pile of books on my bedside table that I need to start - Running With Scissors, Three Dollars by Eliot (?) Perlman, Secret River by Kate Grenville, The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf. I am particularly interested in The Beauty Myth - my mum told me to read it, she said she read it when I and my sister were in our teens and it changed her whole approach with us when it came to makeup and body issues.
