Jo's Old Site

I was at Luke’s Place in Laidley on the 16th of November when one of the workers there said that she and her husband were bee keepers and she was talking that day about the social bee.

And I joined in on the conversation by saying I heard years ago that a lot of bee keepers are allergic to bees. She then told me how people become allergic: as they get stung so many times and they develop a build up of the bee’s poison in their body that eventually develops into an allergy.

I have three book shelves that were previously full of books, but they are a bit empty now. As I have taken books off the shelves that I thought that I won’t be reading anymore, and only kept the books that I would want to read.

I also updated my Jo’s Reading List Page and deleted the titles that I have now put in containers, and my mum said that she’ll take the books that are in containers to Life Line.

Mum suggested about two weeks ago that I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on the 23rd of November which was yesterday and that meant that I didn’t have to go to Luke’s Place and I told the workers that I work with at the library that I wouldn’t be there on the 23rd as I was seeing the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One movie with my mum.

The people at the library that I told this to were all quite happy to let me have a day off and so yesterday mum and I went to Redbank to see the movie, then as we got to Tivoli mum remembered that she hadn’t rang Luke’s Place in Laidley so she pulled over to ring dad and got him to ring them.

Luckily there was still time to ring them.

Anyway we got to Redbank and as there was over an hour before the movie started I went to the Angus and Robertson Bookshop which was a floor below the cinema and mum went back up to K Mart and then after I looked inside the bookshop I waited outside the bookshop as mum told me to wait there.

And when she came back we then went back up on the top floor and mum brought the thick shakes and a couple of doughnuts each and I brought the tickets.

Then while we waited for the movie to start mum said to me “remember when we were in the cinema one other time when it was packed out with school kids?”

She then asked “that was a Harry Potter movie as well wasn’t it?” And I said “yes and I guess it gone on for too long as the cinema that mum and I was in wasn’t packed with school kids. We then saw the movie and I thought it was alright, but they left a lot of things out though I still had a tear in my eye when Dobby died after rescuing Harry and his friends.

This is another Isobelle Carmody book and the sequel to Night Gate and is published by Yearling which is an imprint of Random House Australia Children’s Books.

Also the ISBN number for the second book in the Gateway Trilogy that is called Winter Door is ISBN 978-0-375-83019-8 and in the second book of the series something that is unexplanable is going wrong with the weather. As the weather is though it is always winter and everyone seems down and miserable. And as you have probably guessed Rage has returned back home with her friend called Billy Thunder who has returned back to his dog form and Rage is now being looked after by her uncle.

As her mother hasn’t gotten out of her coma yet, and the doctor wants to transfer Rage’s mother to another hospital however roads are being closed because of the weather. Also Rage is worried that her uncle who is her mother’s brother would go away again.

And as some of her animal friends didn’t come back with her stories are going around. Also a school bully who is a teenage boy called Logan is giving her trouble, but after something happens they become friends. Rage also finds out that she can make herself return to the other world where she finds The Witch Mother and discovers that something similar is going on there too.

Rage then decides that the weather problems in both worlds are somehow connected and then she and her friends follow where the wizard that Rage is related to went as no one knows what had happened to him or why he decided to go by himself.
