Harry Potter
Books I Read This Week
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
*I finished the series last night!!! I stayed up until 4 AM! The 5th Annual Harry Potter Re-Read is complete! I read the whole series in less than 2 weeks - a new record! (I really do think this is worthy of exclamation points at the end of every sentence!)
Check out my Harry Potter Questions to Ponder and look forward to more on Monday!
Books Received This Week

Every Day by David Levithan
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
Bought on Audible
The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling

Internet Finds
I am very late to the game, but I finally started watching John and Hank Green's Vlogbrothers videos!!!! I started at the very beginning...a very good place to start.
It took me a month, but I have finished watching every video of 2007's Brotherhood 2.0. Who else is a Vlogbrothers fan?
NERDFIGHTERS!!!!!

P.S. Check out the blog tour for one of my favorite series Vampire Empire by Clay and Susan Griffith
I read Walk in the Woods several years ago. I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI missed Every Day on Netgalley :-((
Have a great weekend!
WOO, you're a Nerdfighter now!!! I have been a fan of theirs since July 2007 when Hank posted his Accio Deathly Hallows video! And I'll be a fan as long as they are posting videos, that's for sure! I also really love their offspring projects The Lizzie Bennett Diaries, SciShow, and Crash Course. And yeah, finishing the HP series in less than two weeks is definitely deserving of many exclamation points!!
ReplyDeleteYou had an awesome week it looks like. I heard David Leviathan read from Every Day and he did an incredible job reading from it. Come visit me too.

All 3 books you got are ones I want to read. Interesting that you got Casual Vacancy on audio - I don't think I've seen any reviews for that medium yet.

I hope you enjoy or have enjoyed all of the lovely books! Happy reading, though you have just read Harry Potter so that's a given. ^.^ If you would like to check out my Stacking The Shelves you can do so here. :)
ReplyDeleteBesides Harry Potter (something I still need to read) and the Casual Vacancy I haven't heard of any of these!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy them!

I have been debating getting my own set of Harry Potter for college but I feel like it would suck away a lot of time I don't have. That said it will probably happen at some point.
ReplyDeleteOOh nice haul! Love the Harry Potter books! I have all them in hardcover myself, except for the first one! And strangely it doesn't bother me that much. Weird, huh? Enjoy your new reads!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by!
Have a GREAT weekend!
