Seeing as I'm a super busy teacher now, I'm having a hard time finding time to blog about what I read. Lame excuse, I know, and how sad is it that I JUST finished reading my first two books since August?! Well, in an attempt to keep my readings current, I need to not hold myself so responsible for creating long postings. I'll just drop into share a bit about what I'm reading.

At my school, I started the Harry Potter Book Club! Our second meeting is this Wednesday, and I'm SO excited! I've been wanting to read the HP series through, but I figured, Why do it alone when there are so many others out there who I can share the journey with?

Description: Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a Cloak of Invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny cupboard under the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in ten years.

But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to a wonderful place he never dreamed existed. There he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter. [GoodReads]
