The Summoning

Yesterday I bought Kelley Armstrong's The Summoning which is an "Otherworld" novel about a teenage girl who sees dead people (and yes, The Sixth Sense moment did go through my head) written for the young adult audience. I love her "Women of the Otherworld" novels and I'm hoping that this one doesn't disappoint.

I also picked up Chef Jamie Oliver's new magazine (issue 2) for my sister since she's the true chef in the family but I think I'm going to have to skim through it just because it looks so damn interesting.

Pineapple Express

The movie, Pineapple Express, is the perfect "clean the house" movie. I can't stop laughing. Seth Rogen and James Franco are the perfect "bromance" couple.
