Minor Detail

Ok, so I know this only matters to me, but on my movie and book lists, I've been deleting entries every time I add a new one so that there are only 5 on each list. But then today when I was updating, I renoticed (and yes, I know that's not a word, it's just that it's the most accurate description of what actually happened) that I can just set my list to only show a specific amount of entries. And now I'm so sad that I've been deleting all my entries for the last few months. It would have been nice to be able to go back and see all the movies and books I've listed and see what I thought of them at the time. And now I can't. Well, I can from now on, but I've read a lot of books the last 2-3 months and seen some really good movies (and a couple not so good). And now I can't remember all the books I've read the last couple of months.

See, so it's not a big deal, but it still stung a little when I realized what I've missed.

And speaking of books, I really liked the last book I read, Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson. It's the final book in a fantasy trilogy, called the Mistborn trilogy, but it's not a typical "fantasy" series. It's about trying to prevent the end of the world (of course) by a young orphaned girl (of course) and a group of companions (of course), but it really is so much more. It's about right vs. wrong, integrity, politics, religion, love and trust. And the magic system of the world is absolutely unique and interesting. There are no dragons, elves or dwarves. It's got adventure, thrills, love (although writing a convincing, intense, feel-your-heart-beating-outside-your-chest love story will never be Brandon's forte), sacrifice and struggle. It really is a single story told in three parts, and the third part alone is worth the price of all three books. If anyone is interested in reading it, let me know, and I could loan out my books. Now if I could only find my first book. I think it might be time to pack away another box of books (someday I will have a library with floor to ceiling bookshelves, even if it's after the kids have grown up and moved out and I convert their room).

Gotta get the boy to school now, so I'll write more later.
