Mom, you have got to finish the series. Book 7 (Chapter 34) ties it all together. It's epic. Intense Guy, don't get your hopes up. She's more into the mystery genre than the fantasy genre.Daughter #2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241655384336418209.post-81822274109564146032011-07-18T16:14:09.852-07:002011-07-18T16:14:09.852-07:00Perhaps, if you haven't read them already, I c...Perhaps, if you haven't read them already, I could twist your arm to read the first first of the Lord of the Rings books...

Not because I'm opposed to them, I just didn't think they'd interest me. Yay for getting people interested in books though! I didn't get "into" the Twighlight series either...<br /><br />I loved your comment on yesterday's post--concerning "talking" in the driveway.

I confess...I love what the series has done for us! I confess, I have not read the series, but my children (20 and 30 yrs) have. My whole family (husband included) have seen all of the movies though. The people that refused to read or see Harry where I live are the same ones that, sadly, won't do Halloween. No one is worshiping wizards or devils! It is a wonderful time for the entire family to have a play day of fantasy and fun.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915948349223137648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241655384336418209.post-8949581272150436032011-07-15T19:58:10.390-07:002011-07-15T19:58:10.390-07:00Laura and Sweet Tea- I have to confess, Harry Pott...Laura and Sweet Tea- I have to confess, Harry Potter would not have been on my reading list either, if my younger daughters and Terry had not been after me to try it. So I read all but the last book. And, I'll see the latest movie.<br /><br />It's the same thing with the Twilight vampire books. I tried one and didn't care for it. No more peer pressure for me. The daughters can't guilt me into more reading. lolJust Stuff From a Boomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440903695801765867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241655384336418209.post-88349665457552180272011-07-15T14:16:08.074-07:002011-07-15T14:16:08.074-07:00I think it's great that your entire family sha...I think it's great that your entire family share the love of Harry - both the fictional and the lovely kitty...I saw the first movie but am not really a fan, but I know what it's like to be a Fan of something and enjoy it in a BIG way!Sweet Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614958513434632328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241655384336418209.post-75012671555074004032011-07-15T13:46:45.065-07:002011-07-15T13:46:45.065-07:00My daughter just blogged about her Harry Potter st...My daughter just blogged about her Harry Potter story http://frommyclassroomwindow.blogspot.com/2011/07/for-love-of-harry-potter.html<br />I promised her many years ago that I would read the books and just never got that far into the first one. I think they're great though. You're right about getting kids (and adults) excited about reading. I may try again...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858720522828231380noreply@blogger.com
