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. Sure, there have been times when I've said that I was going to go back and re-read the entire series, usually … Continue reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

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. Rowling's third installment in the Harry Potter series was my favorite. It's also the last of the books that I've read multiple times. When it comes to books 4-7, I've … Continue reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Title: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Author: J.K. Rowling Published: 1998 In my post about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I mentioned that this was my least favorite installment in the series of books. That doesn't mean I think it's a bad book. There's just so much else that happens in the … Continue reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
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
Day Four
My Favorite Book This would have to be The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It's a classic that I've probably read more than a dozen times. I usually find myself picking it up and spending a day or so just reading through it about once a year. Some of my earliest memories have The Wizard of … Continue reading Day Four
Book Fair
This week, the school is having a book fair. They've got the signs out in front of the school and posters advertising the sale of books in the library plastered throughout the halls. It's got me kind of nostalgic. I know I've said in my About Me section that I love to read, but that … Continue reading Book Fair
Should I Write a Book?
It's a question I ask myself every now and then. And I've been asking myself off and on for many years. I think about it. I get excited about the ideas and the possibilities. I get overwhelmed. I doubt my abilities. I wonder if I could ever even find the required time. I quit before … Continue reading Should I Write a Book?
Three Weeks With My Brother
Some of you know that a guy named Nicholas Sparks is a pretty well-known author. If you've never read any of his books, you may have seen some of the films based on his work: A Walk to Remember, or Message in a Bottle, or maybe The Notebook. The Notebook, so far, is the only … Continue reading Three Weeks With My Brother
The Old Book
On one of my days off I had some time to kill. On those days off, that was really the only kind of time I had. Most days I would spend time reading or watching movies or surfing the internet, just escaping into some kind of entertainment that would make the seconds tick away until … Continue reading The Old Book
Listening to Tolkien
Disclaimer: I'm possibly going to anger a significant portion of geek culture. And that's because (spoiler alert) I'm going to complain about The Lord of the Rings. Now, before you grab your torches and pitchforks and track down my IP address, just know that I'm not setting out to offend anyone with my opinion here. … Continue reading Listening to Tolkien
