Books & Authors - December 2006

Anytime I am reading one of the books and I nod off while reading I have these amazingly vivid dreams! For instance...there are times when I am at Hogwarts and I'm playing quidditch. They are so REAL! I really feel like I am flying on a broomstick! It's crazy b/c I'm not just a little kid who has dreams all the time. I'm 21 years old and I don't usually dream.

I got my best friend to read the books and without me even telling her about my dreams she asked me if I had wild dreams when I'm reading the books. So I was just curious to see if there are other people who have dreams like this...

Okay, so there is a title on JK Rowling's website, and Potter fans everywhere are going mad. If you have seen it, what do you think?

A man (a king, i think) and his faithful dog regularly take walks in the woods. But one day the dog runs off and doesn't come back. The man assumes he will be able to find his own way home, but upon returning, he finds the door open and his bedroom where his baby daughter was sleeping had been trashed, the baby's crib had been overturned and there was blood everywhere. Standing on his bed was his dog, also covered in blood, and was panting and wagging his tail. The man assumes the dog had got in and killed his child, and draws his sword and kills the dog. He collapses on the bed with grief because he has lost his child and his dog in the same morning. After a while he hears something that seemed to be coming from a bundle of sheets by his dog's feet and discovers it is infact his baby, and as he stands up he also notices something by his feet that he didn't see coming in. A dead wolf.

OK. I was rereading HBP last night before I went to bed, and something kind of disturbs me. In the section where Harry and Dumbledore are viewing Slughorn's memory about telling Tom Riddle about what horcruxes are, Slughorn tells Tom that it's a banned subject at Hogwarts, and that DD is "particularly fierce" about it. This gave me the impression that DD already knew what horcruxes were. If this is the case, what exactly is the significance of Harry retrieving Sluggy's memory? I don't understand why Harry would go to all that trouble retrieving the memory if DD already knows what a horcrux is. It makes more sense that he would just tell Harry. (We already know that Sluggy gave Tom info on them, why else would he have modified his memory? DD could have just filled Harry (and us) in.)

I just read 'The Black Moon' and got very involved in the story of poor Morwenna Chynoweth, who can't marry the man she loves because of class differences. She marries a lascivious vicar who rapes her on their wedding night; her marriage is desperately unhappy.
And the book ends there! I so want to know what happens to her! Can anyone tell me if her story continues in any other of Graham's books? Do she and Drake ever find happiness together????

I'm really wanting to read some good, genuinely scary, supernatural fiction books.

I've read Supernatural by David Ambrose which i absolutely loved and it scared the hell out of me. It's not your slasher/Jason/Mike Myers type scary, it's something that gets under your skin and gives you chills that you can't sleep after you put down the book.

So, can anyone recommend some books that are scary, yet intelligent and entertaining?

Thanks

'He felt a sad relief of a man who realises that there is one love at least that does not hurt him any more.'
Do you like the phrase? Can you guess the author?
