WHAT'CHA READING?

Currently I'm enjoying The Devil in the White City... a story about the ideas behind the great worlds fair won by Chicago and wanting to rival the wonder that was held in Paris previously.  The architectural history is combined with a gruesome depiction of a crazy person who is obsessed with killing.  Killing women!  It all takes place in Chicago, of all cities.

It was recommended to me and so far it's really good.  I'm about half through with it and both the tales, the architectural dream come to life and the creepy serial killers ravage of Chicago's south side, are just so interesting!  And apparently true... I have a little more research to do on this point.  

It's super creepy and probably  not a story I should be reading as I have just moved to the city and at times must explore on my own!

What are you reading?  Any suggestions for my next book?

A MATINEE!

I am so excited to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!  It opens this Friday, the first installment of the last book.  A couple of weeks ago at Half Price Books I found the 7th book in the series (when I read it I borrowed from a friend and for some reason have never picked up a copy for myself).  But this version is the British publication, which is so cool, so it had to come home with me!  I plan to start it today and hope to be well through it by the end of the week.

Mr. D, who is not a fan of seeing movies on opening weekend, has agreed to go with me.  On Sunday afternoon... in an attempt to avoid the crowds.  We will see how well that works!  I couldn't be more excited... I really think that the story has such a great imagination and the movies, although not better than the books, do a great job of bringing the story to life (unlike the poor Twilight book-to-movies which I am also pathetically addicted to).

XOXO
