Title: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Author: J.K. Rowling Published: 2007 I knew what was going to happen.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Title: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Author: J.K. Rowling Published: 2005 Before re-reading book six, it was probably the installment that I was least familiar with in the Harry Potter series. As with books four and five, I only read through this one once. And that was back in 2005 when it first came … Continue reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Title: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Author: J.K. Rowling Published: 2003 As I've mentioned in my previous posts about the Harry Potter series of books, I've attempted to read through the series a few times.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Title: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Author: J.K. Rowling Published: 2000 Wow. I had not even picked up this book to begin reading it since it was first published 15 years ago.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Title: Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban Author: J.K. Rowling Published: 1999 For a long time I've had my mind made up that J.K.

Day Fourteen
A N0n-Fiction Book I hope, as with yesterday's post, that this is not an expectation of me to have a non-fiction book written and posted here. While I am, without question, a cesspool of useless knowledge, I would never claim to know enough about any particular subject to be able to write a book about … Continue reading Day Fourteen
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Title: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Author: J.K. Rowling Published: 1997 I've decided to delve back into my personal library and re-read the entire Harry Potter series. I'm doing this for two reasons. One, because I don't have a lot of money. Why should that matter? Well, I'm the kind of person that likes … Continue reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Lois & Clark
There's a pretty good book out there by Tom DeHaven called It's Superman! It's a retelling of the origin of the world's greatest super-hero. Over the years, Superman's origin story has been written and rewritten over and over again. Different authors change certain scenarios: time frame, location, circumstances. But no matter who does the telling, … Continue reading Lois & Clark
