My mother says that I should learn Chinese and Spanish after I learn Korean. I think I should just master Korean and worry about other languages way in the future.
2.Myths and Legends from Korea: An Annotated Compendium of Ancient and Modern Materials by James H. Grayson
I really would like to learn more about Korean history. The library here is lacking in Korean books.
3.
I am probably too old (and too fat) for this, but I really like it.

Gradient tights. I really love the color.
5. The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec
This is a French film by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element
.) From the trailer it seems to be an Edwardian (it is set in 1912) steampunk movie with dinosaurs.Currently watching: My Love from the Star
Currently reading:
City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments) by Cassandra Clare
Actually rereading. I do think I prefer the The Infernal Devices, the Complete Collection
series more, but I already reread them, so I am rereading The Mortal Instruments series
.Swagbucks it is how I make money for amazon gift cards!
, as a free kindle (it is still free), and I really liked the book. It isn't too long, 258 pages. It is steampunk, but more of a lite steampunk, so if you aren't sure if you would like the steampunk genre I think it is a good first steampunk book. I enjoyed the book so much that I bought the next three books, 
, 
, and 
. There is a fifth book out, 
which is set in later years and deals with twins Lizzie and Maggie. I haven't bought it yet, but it is on my "to read" list.
was originally a free kindle too, but the price has gone to $3.99 right now. What if your whole life was just one big

was such a great book! I really didn't want this book to end, the descriptions were fantastic and the characters were engaging. The second book in the series comes out in April next year, 
and of course it is on my "to read" list.
this month. The library was out of 
when I went to go get it, which means I have to wait to read the next book! (*whine*) Anyway, I found the book to be highly entertaining, partly because the husband used to be a bounty hunter, but mostly from the humor of the main character Stephanie Plum.
with my book club, it is a free kindle, it is another retelling of the Grimm's fairy tales that are really popular right now. There is a bit of a racist part, the Chinese neighbors' accents are unnecessary and do not add anything to the story. I did buy the next book in the series, 
, but I haven't read it yet.
earlier in the year. It was a really entertaining book. It is set in modern times, the story starts in 2012, when the first book came out, but is an alternate history. Queen Victoria never died and the world is full of vampires, who set the world's fashion, werewolves, halfies (half vampires), and goblins. I downloaded the second book, 
, but haven't been able to read it yet, and the third book, 
is already out.
starts off like a typical James Bond style spy book, but it quickly changes over to something from the X-Men. I do hope the author plans on writing another book, either with the same characters or something new. (ETA: Here is his second book, 
.)
, it does just kind of jump into the middle of the plot without any back-story which can be a bit disconcerting. I also read a new series by him, only 'cause I knew it was the first book in the series, called 
which I highly enjoyed, more than Toys, and I hope to be able to read the next book, 
, in the series soon.
as a free kindle. There's no baking in the story and it is more about elves than about witches, but it is a quick, easy and light-hearted read. If you need some thing mindless to read from the romance comedy genre I would recommend this book. The second book, 
and the third book, 
are both on my "to read" list.
, the best way that I can explain it is as David Weber's Honor Harrington series, but less technical. There are two other books in the trilogy so far,

.
(2001): Yes, Daniel Radcliff's acting maybe very stilted in this movie, but he does improve in the later movies, but it is the first one. The locations and settings, clothing and even all the little nick-knacks in the shops were fantastic. When you first see Diagon Alley it really is amazing.
(2002-2004): This maybe broken up into three parts, but really it is just one long nine hour movie, but it is great. The sceneries are stunning, the costume work is awesome, the metal work on the armor, weapons and jewelry is great. I would also include The Hobbit in with this.
(2007): This is definitely as story that I would consider calling a modern fairy tale (the 
was great too!)
(2011): I love this movie. I count it as fantasy since it really is a dream within a dream within a dream.
(2010): I haven't seen the new one yet, so it might be better than this one. I would have to say that there was a lot cut out or changed from the book, so it wasn't as good as it could have been, but it was enjoyable enough that I could watch it again.
(2003): This one doesn't quite qualify, because whenever the pirates are in the moonlight they are CGI, yes, the others have special effects too, but a lot of the characters spend a signficant amount of time as CGI characters. Anyway, love the movie, the characters were great.
