The summer of 2008 will forever be remembered as one of my more difficult, as it did not include standing in line for the new Harry Potter, and I knew that I never would again experience the anticipation and exhilaration of having the Borders clerk hand me a book full of new wizarding adventures. To make up for this great loss in my life, I decided to read the entire series again in order, and I picked up #1 as October began. I found myself quickly finishing the first few and decided I was going to step it up and read all seven in the month of October. I am proud to say, family and friends, mission accomplished. I know, hold your applause. I highly recommend the continual reading of this series, as each time one discovers new details and angles. I know there are many more important pieces of literature I should be devouring, and I do, but Harry Potter just cannot be topped (sorry, Twilight fans). I never would have thought I would discover a series that brought me greater joy than the Baby-Sitters Club (oh, the folly of youth!) but you never know what surprises life has in store.

While I normally loathe fiction, I read "Pillars of the Earth" in less than a week. Yes. It's over 1000 pages and oh my it's so good I was staying up late to read it and waking up early (and I was like 10 months pregnant at this point, too). It's SO GOOD.
I wish I could rad as fast as you. I miss Harry Potter too. When is the next stinkin movie coming!
Really, am I allowed to call you a nerd on your blog.
I too loved Harry Potter. I've read them all a couple of times.
Hey let me suggest the Eragon books. I loved them. Full of magic and fantasy. There are three books written so far with the fourth book (Inheritance) still in writing.
books? books are for girls!!
