Calling on Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is just a fun series. I love that since most of the book is from Morwen's perspective, we get to hear what her cats are saying.

I hate that the book ends with Cimorene and Mendenbar being separated (and although I doubt the final book will deal with this issue, he's going to be the same age while she'll be much older when they can finally get the shield down and rescue him).

I'm interested to see what happens in the last book.

I'm so glad Kaleecat got me into this series. I'm really enjoying it. Already halfway done with the final installment in the series.

And now for a real post

1. The students have asked me to be the faculty advisor for the Anime Club. I am going to decline. I feel bad for saying no, but I cannot go up to campus one day every week and watch anime with them for three hours (EVERY WEEK), and I am not going to supervise lock-ins. Um, ever. So, I'm flattered they asked me (this is what I get for talking about Dragonball Z and Inuyasha with my World Lit 1 class), but I am not prepared for that kind of time commitment.

2. This is Fiona's second week of school. We got a note sent home last week that she had hit a kid while standing in line. Why? we asked her. Because it was time to go, and he wouldn't move. Yesterday, I got a call from the school because Fiona has pinched a kid who tried to usurp her turn at the smart table. At least we don't have to worry about her having Emma's problem with being assertive. *jazz hands*

3. I got a letter from kayleecat. I love getting unexpected correspondence. :)

4. GoT finale on Sunday! Yay! I have to get my reviews typed up for the last two episodes before it airs. ( brief, spoilery speculation )

5. Academical people who do book reviews, how do you get that process started? Do you just cold email a publisher or something? How does that work? I'd like to do some reviews, I think.
