The World Of Jadeey

As is often the case on my weekends, I didn't do half the things I was supposed to do today. I did go to the gym, so that's a plus. But I didn't do a whole lot of other things i'd planned to do. The problem is I always want to spend my weekends in a state of total relaxation. This often means I avoid the things I should be doing.

Luckily there's always tomorrow.

Last night I went to Kayla and Josh's for dinner. Aimee came along too, which was super awesome because I haven't seen her in ages. Kayla cooked us a delicious dinner, we talked to Malakai, we played Harry Potter Scene It (I won) and we chatted about anything and everything. It was a really great night.

Tomorrow night I'm going to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I'm in a state of fear about it. I adore the book, it's probably my favourite of the lot, and I'm not looking forward to watching it be butchered. I understand that the film makers can't put everything in, but it still disappoints me when things that I considered important are left out. Not to mention I've heard they completely ruin the last scene, and that just happens to be one of my absolute favourite scenes of the books.

One day, somehow, I will learn not to get my hopes up about movie adaptations of books.

After work I met up with mum, grandma and Lincoln. We decided to take a trip to The Children's Bookshop in Kilbirnie. If you haven't been there before then you should definitely make the effort to visit.

It's an independently owned bookshop and they pretty much only sell children's books. There is the occasional non-children's book there if it happens to be a fantastic book, but for the most part it's kids books.

The staff in the store are amazing. They have read so many of the books they sell, it's amazing. You can go in there and say you're looking for a book for, say, an 8 year old boy. The staff will instantly come out with a stream of recommendations.

Yeah, I know it's geeky to be so excited about a bookshop. I can't help it though. I love books. (Why else would I have studied publishing last year?)
