July -"Scorcher: It's Hot Outside!" read a suspense/ thriller or a hot new release you couldn't wait to read !

1. Title: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

2. Author: J.K. Rowling

3. Copyright: 2007

4. How long was the book languishing in your TBR pile? I finished it the day it came out, in 5 hours!!

5. What made you buy/borrow the book in the first place? DUH! I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and it's the last book.

6. What were your thoughts on the story? Everything I wanted and more. I laughed and I cried. This is one of the few books where I have really cried hard while reading. The characters are so real to me. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't read it but it is SOOOOOOO good. And what's even better are the Christian overtones throughout the book, something totally unexpected but very appreciated. This is one of the best books I've read every, definitely the best of the whole series. I've been reading HP for 6 years (yes I'm a late bloomer) and I feel like I'm losing a part of me now. J.K. Rowling is a genius.

7. Now do you wish you read the book sooner? Well unless you meant by earlier in the day! I just wish it wasn't over..

8. Any questions/statements for the author? I don't know how she did it. I have the uttermost respect for J.K. Rowling and her imagination.

9. Where will the book reside now? On the shelf along with the rest of the series as we await the HP encyclopedia Rowling said she will write next. I will prally reread the whole series again later in the year. Hmm I might make it a challenge to read the whole series at least once a year...

It's here! Today is my 3 year blogiversary! (Never mind tha t the first entry is marked on 9/20, I had written that post the day after and then backdated it) . I can't believe that I'm still here and blogging away! As al ways, the reason why I started blogging was thanks to Camy Tang's blog which inspired m e to write my own blog. My main goal was to blog about the books I read because I figured I'd like others to know about the good books that were ou t there . I honestly can't believe that it's lasted this long and I hope to keep going strong. I've met so many new friends in the past year alone and I've even gotten to meet several in person and I'm going to meet more next week at the National Book Festival! I'd also like to say thank you to those who nominated me for Best Cultural Review Blog for the 2009 BBAW Awards. It's truly been an honor that you considered me for that award and even more awesome that I made the shortlist

The Nancy Drew Challenge

Image
Update 12/19: There are now prizes! This is a very personal reading challenge for myself. I have tried EVERY year for the past 15 years (I honestly kid you not) to try to read every one of the original 56 Yellow Spine Nancy Drew books. But every year other obligations or loss of interest cause me to stop after a few books. However I have determined that 2010 is the year I will finally accomplish a goal that has plagued me over half my life. While there are other types of Nancy Drew books out there (Files, Notebooks, Clue Crew, On Campus, River Heights, Girl Detective, Supermysteries with Hardy Boys), I am going to focus on the original Nancy Drew Mystery stories. I have tried reading the original versions from the 1930s, but I just could not get into the language. Therefore this challenge will be spotlighting the revised Yellow Spined hardback books that were reprinted and are universally recognized when you think Nancy Drew. The books for this challenge will be 1-56 (The Secret
