Beginnings

Welcome friends! I have started this entry in the global technosphere because I have been in love with books since the age of 2. Among the busy business of being a new teacher, this is my outlet for sharing thoughts on a love of reading a wide variety of books. My inspiration can be summed up with a yearbook quote from a teacher written when I was 8: "To the only girl at recess I see reading a book. Good for you!"
My blog title is quoted from a classmate who asked me this once. Believe it or not, I've also heard it as a teacher :D

I'm Catching Up With the Rest of the World, Harry Potter Style!

 



I went to Chapters today & purchased the last 3 Harry Potter books.  Hooray, I'm that much closer to not living under a rock :D



I also got the beautiful Penguin Classic edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence on sale.

All in all, a sweet day :)  ...And sorry for the lack of reviews.  I'm behind 3 books already & almost finished a 4th.  My teaching course this month has been hectic and I need to collect my thoughts on these books before I review them.  That is, if I can remember what they are about (LOL) :D

    No worries - I am way more than 3 reviews behind!! I am almost 2 months behind...trying to catch up with some mini reviews.

    Good for you getting the last 3 Harry Potters - I am re-reading the last one now and loving it (again). I'm not sure I like the new cover art...

    Enjoy!

    Have you seen the HP movies, or are you waiting until you read all of them?
    Good luck on catching up.

    Enjoy! I wish I could read them all again for the first time. I adore those Penguin books too and have quite a few, but I haven't gotten my hands on a copy of Lady Chatterly yet.

    We're still doing our H.P. family read-a-long. It's a fun but slow way to get through the books. We're only on book 3. No way we'll get through the series by the end of summer vacation. (And I have to read Hunger Games too.)
