Theme Thursday - Collection/The Tenth Daughter of Memory - Trapped

Going wandering aimlessly down the halls...
Tall shelves alongside me, books staring down...
Running my fingers along the dusty spines...
Breathing in the musty air...
Dark shadows walk alongside my feet...
My back bent, hunched as I shuffle along...
Turning my crooked neck up to look at my books...
My collection...
Looking at the toolbelt randomly strung on this shelf...
The collection of peculiar tools just sits there...
Stopping here, at this book, this shelf...
This has happened before...
Where am I...
I can't remember anything...
I'm trapped...
A prisoner of my own mind...
Feeling along the walls...
Attempting desperately for anything...
Anything at all, anything to let me out of this prison...
A bat swoops down from the ceiling...
Brushes the top of my nearly-bald skull...
Back to reality...
Looking at the bookshelf again...
Why is this so familiar...
One book at eye level has a strange title...
Adventure, it screams at me...
Adventure...
Touching that book, it feels odd...
Trying to pull it out...
The book won't come out of it's spot...
Looking over to my desk...
A bust sits on the tabletop...
Waddling over to the escritoire...
Suddenly, I remember...
I pull the top of the bust back...
And press the button...
My shelf pulls back, revealing a cavern, black as pitch...
That's why that book felt odd...
Suddenly, I remember...
And I look down the poles that flow into the basement...
My hidden sanctuary, my cave...
And I remember everything...
My memory isn't what it used to be...
But I remember now...
I'm Batman.

(Sorry this has nothing to do with Collections or being Trapped!!!!! Just had a random idea!!!!!)

I SAW HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lalala a certain SOMEONE *points at sign above my head, flashing ME ME ME* saw Harry Potter today with her friend Ladybug! We brought wands! We were going to see Bandslam, but it wasn't at the theater we were at, and so we saw a Mr. Harry Potter. ARG I was sooooooooooooo into it! We sat in the first row... It's like we LIVED it! I kinda sorta almost cried at one part, it was like, I could, but I didn't, because I knew what was going to happen (I finished all 7 books over two years ago) so it wasn't as shocking, even though it was still sad, you know? Ahhhhh LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, we saw a trailer for the movie 2012... Supposedly the world is supposed to end on my 17th birthday... Lucky me! Oh, I'm afraid. :'( OH BUT I LOVED HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, EVEN IF THEY NEVER SHOWED TONKS OR LUPIN! (if you click the movie poster, it goes to the official website)

Happy Birthday to "The Host"!

*thanks to http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/*
Today marks the 1 year anniversary of The Host's publication—and it is still on bestseller lists everywhere. Congratulations Stephenie!
If you have some free time, go check out TheHostNovel.com where you can find videos, discussion questions, banners to celebrate The Host's first birthday and more!
And if you are a new Stephenie Meyer fan and have not yet read The Host, I would definitely recommend reading it. If you don't have it, then I would recommend buying it now and then reading it. If you are new to the site, I will repeat what I have mentioned in the past, even though I have been criticized at times for saying it. Out of Stephenie's five published books (and I am a huge fan of the Twilight series), The Host is my favorite. It really is an incredible and very enjoyable book.


I am a huge fan of the Twilight books, and of Stephenie Meyer. So, of course, I did read The Host and am very glad I did. A great sci-fi book, and definitely worth reading. Read it... read it... read it...

Ice Bear approves of it! Will you read it now?
