Welcome to LEThomson.tripod.com! This is the best source
for my links, contact, friends, stories, and more.
The last sites I had were just little pieces of me, and instead of having several different sites
to update with longer URLs all of the time, I decided to converge all of my sites. This
will be much easier to handle and that way people don’t say ‘which site?’ (all of them were Tripod sites). My biography is in the 'Biography' section, obviously, and is much shorter than all
previous ones.
Check out my 'Stories/Poems' section for my latest work, edits, and my recommendations. Each story or poem will have background information for you to read.
Most can be found on Fiction Press, where I publish. If you click on the
titles of the novels, you will be directed to a page about the novel. Clues, riddles, and notes will
be posted there, and watch it for updates.
My 'Links' section bears all of the links that are my favourite, where I publish, my friends’
sites (also found in 'Friends' section), and Live Journals. If you need to contact
me, you can do so through these sites, but your best bet is to email me in the 'Contact Me' section. I work for the
school newspaper, 'The Beaver Buzz', so you can read articles by me and also my co-journalists if you'd like.
Take a look around, and enjoy!
With love from,
Lauren

The Book Release and Relief - Sunday, 17 July 2005
My sister got a copy of someone's extra yesterday, so I read the American version. It took me approxamately
seven hours to read. I'm not sure whether I was disappointed or pleased, but I'm going to read my British copy much
more slowly and more thoroughly. I'd like to enjoy the book before I give an impartial review of it.
I read 'Times' review on the 'Half-Blood Prince' and agree. There are other reviews claiming
that the plot was lacking its 'magic tricks' of Jo's, and I somewhat agree, but I think that she's done it the best way she
could. There was no sense of dragging the story on much longer than six hundred pages and then some, but it was missing
something. I think I missed Harry's being with Ron and Hermione so much. Ron and Hermione were less themselves
in this book compared to the others, and the buildup has broken, or perhaps I just think that because they weren't in humourous
fights anymore. I felt, as I was reading it, that Jo had lost her sense of fun in writing it, because there was noticably
less comic in this one than the others.
It was one of my favourites of the series, I think, but I cannot decide whether or not it is until I read
it more closely. On the other hand, I am delighted that Jo has answered the poll question, that I got to see a clipping
of her at the reading in Edinburgh, and that Emerson and Melissa's interview with Jo was over two hours and parts of it will
be posted for us fans starving for their nourishment tomorrow. Only one more day of famine!
I've got a new writing site that I 'publish' on: www.writing.com. I have two more months of an upgraded membership, many thanks to a generous group called What Goes Around Comes Around,
and have lots of poems and diary entries to be read! There are parts of other things that I am writing as well,
but none are finished.
Enjoy reading (though you might not like the devastating end; I didn't much, but I understood completely)!
