Summer and Harry Potter

If you have been checking this blog this summer, I guess you have seen that it has gone on vacation. I'll resume regular posts when school begins again. I hope everyone is enjoying summer and has been reading :).

If, like me, you recently finished and loved Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and are now feeling a little let down as to what to read next, don't despair. Cick here for some ideas. And, if you have ideas of your own, please email me and I'll add them to the list.

Oh, and in case you are wondering about taking the AR quiz for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows rest assured that it will be added to the AR list as soon as we return in to school. It will be 34 points.

Enjoy the rest of your vacation, everyone!
