Autumn
The wind whispers softly,
Its invisible force kisses my face,
Makes me cheeks rosy and healthy.

The leaves on the ground rustle under my feet,
The brisk air blows them swirling into the sky,
Making them suspended like snowflakes.

The trees stretch high as if to touch the clouds,
Their leaves every color,
Smile at me as the sun shines through them.

The sky is the most brilliant blue,
The sun beats softly through the turquoise,
Making me feel alive.

The coolness of the day is refreshing,
Laughter breaks the peaceful bustle,
Of this beautiful autumn.

The autumn is alive,
It touches my lungs and my hair and my face,
Like the beauty of life itself rests in the wind.

Autumn is so lovely,
The world is all connected,
By the breeze and sky of autumn.

Ok, so they break up in book 6. But the break-up was kind of half-assed if you ask me. It took, like a page and then the book ended. It's too little for me, I suppose.

Also, I don't know why, but their split affected me more than Dumbledore's death. I mean, we all knew that was going to happen. But they were just perfect together.

Do you think that Harry/Ginny will get back together in book 7? Maybe at Bill/Fleur's marriage?

Since Snape knew they were together, although he still might not be evil, isn't it the case that keeping her with him is the only way to keep her safe? Furthermore, Harry knows this and is sure that Snape is bad. Won't he come to this conclusion too?

Lots of questions. I'm looking for theories and wishes. Maybe some evidence too.

I'm doing a book club with my family, and I need a good book to read! The book has to be notable some how. If it is a best seller, very popular, or has been given a reward thwn I could use it. I love fantasy, but I love a lot of other books too. If you could give me the name, and author of a book, that would be great! Thank you!

If I self-publish a book, Can I also submit my manuscript to a publishing house?
If no, why not?

My goal is to get exposure through self publishing while trying to find a traditional publishing house, then signing publishing rights to them and ceasing my self publishing efforts. Has this been done?

Who wrote a short story that is about a woman walking through a deserted city? As she walks she hears a sound that gets louder and louder and in the end it turns out to be a dripping faucet. Any info re the author or story title or what book collection/anthology the story is in would be a big help. Thanks.

Was Clive in either "Raise the Titanic" or "Sahara"? he seems to love to write himself into his stories so made me wonder.
