Where I Am
I’m back in the great frozen north after a week in Florida. I did get to Universal Studios and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter but I’m saving those pictures for the next edition of the Harry Potter reread.
Here’s one picture though from the Toon Landing section of the park.

Coming Up This Week
Hopefully, there will be a new theme. I installed one and it is all working except for one itsy bitsy problem. It is going to a blank static homepage instead of my blog even though I’ve told it repeatedly not to do that. Of course the place I got the theme from doesn’t have any customer service on weekends. I hate it when technical stuff doesn’t work right out of the box.
I got so many blog posts written and books read when I was in Florida! Lots of stuff coming up. I’m way ahead. Let’s see how long that lasts.
What I’m Reading
Listening to:
Cold Magic by Kate Elliott
As they approach adulthood, Cat Barahal and her cousin Bee think they understand the society they live in and their place within it. At a select academy they study new airship technologies and the dawning Industrial Revolution, but magical forces still rule. And the cousins are about to discover the full ruthlessness of this rule. (from Goodreads)
Reading:
The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks by Jeanne Theoharis
Presenting a corrective to the popular notion of Rosa Parks as the quiet seamstress who, with a single act, birthed the modern civil rights movement, Theoharis provides a revealing window into Parks’s politics and years of activism. She shows readers how this civil rights movement radical sought—for more than a half a century—to expose and eradicate the American racial-caste system in jobs, schools, public services, and criminal justice. (from Goodreads)
My colleague want to Harry Potter World and he must have emptied the gift shop LOL, but it must have been amazing. I believe there is one here in England as well? Though he also went to the one in Florida.

Cold Magic sounds really good! I’ve always wanted to go to Universal – I hope you had a great time! Enjoy your week. 🙂

The Rosa Parks book sounds good!
I’d love to make it to Wizarding World! Our trip to Florida over New Year’s got canceled because of sickness. I am itching to get down south! Have a great reading week.
Welcome back! Are you in the path of the nasty storm or do you just get to suffer from the cold?
Have a great week, and I look forward to seeing your new theme!
I think I just get the cold but I’m afraid to look at the weather.
I love Universal! We haven’t been in ages – Harry Potter had just opened. I’m really hoping we can make it back soon. The biography of Rosa Parks sounds interesting. Other than the back of the bus incident I know very little about her. Have a great week!
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, what fun! I’d like to do that someday… Good luck with your theme; I hope you get the kinks worked out. And how are you enjoying Cold Magic? I’ve got an ecopy somewhere, and I’ve been thinking I should read it one of these days.
From Florida to north, wow, you must feel the difference ! We’ll be admiring your new theme next week then, don’t stress, we’ll be patient 🙂 Have a great week !
