I finished PoA. Whew, what a roller coaster! I forgot how intense the ending is. It really makes you sit up straight and read faster, even if you know how it's going to end. It's interesting now, looking back and seeing all of the little hints that point to things in future books. Very good.
I also finished Crazy Busy Beautiful. It actually had some pretty good tips, but most of them were covered in Get Positively Beautiful. There were a couple good new ones too, though, so it was helpful.
Before I start Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I'm reading another little advice book called Better than Beauty: A Guide to Charm by Helen Valentine and Alice Thompson. It was originally published in 1938 but was revived due to its rather timeless advice. It's actually got some good points already, like, for example, how cleanliness includes not just your hair and makeup, but also the shape of your clothing, fingernails, and feet. I'm a bit eager to read about the actual charm part - it'll definitely come in handy at some point. It says in the book that not many people are remembered for their charm. I think I'd like to be someone who is.
I'm in a pretty good mood right now for some reason. I'm not really sure why, but whatever. I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.
