At risk of beating a dead horse here, I am so sorry for being so ridiculously irresponsible with this blog! We were doing so well and then I fell off the map and well, long story short, I'm back and I'm ready to talk books. Let's pick up where we left off shall we? In … Continue reading January Reads

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
My holiday readathon of Harry Potter lasted a little longer than anticipated, so Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows became the first book I read in the New Year.

I think we have this discussion as a society every year, but I'll say it again -- I think Christmas came … Continue reading Harry Potter Holiday Readathon
