With the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (which was amazing!), I've started thinking "what else am I anticipating for the rest of 2009?" Turns out, the list isn't very big now that HP, Wolverine and Transformers have been released.
NEW MOON...first and foremost. As my favorite book in the Twilight Saga (hmm...perhaps tied with Eclipse), I can't wait for this next movie to come out. I just hope there isn't a whole wave of poser Team Jacob people.
GREEN...my favorite author, Ted Dekker, is releasing the last novel in the Circle Saga. I am so excited, words just can't contain how excited I am. Of course, every time one of his books comes out, I freaked out. If you haven't ever read Ted Dekker, you are missing out on life. Need a good couple of books to read? PUT DOWN TWILIGHT and pick up the Circle Trilogy: Black, Red, White.
