Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

I read 4 books in 2005 guys. 4.
This one I re-read on a trip to California. :) I read it planning on reading all the other books in the series but I never got around to them. :( I was also sad because I didn't have too many other books with me on the plane. :(
After I got back I focused on closing the store down. The clearance was starting. The final weeks were coming to and end. I didn't actually finish a book until 7 months later.
Not only was it a new job, it was also a new house, and Joe had started his new career. Everything was SO new.
I tried to read but I couldn't get into anything, at all.
Anyway, this is the last B. Dalton Post.
Oh, those days are missed. But I do have to say that from here on out, none of the books that appear on this list has been a waste of time. They're all me. 100 % me. I stopped reading recommendations. Instead, I read friends favourite books. Books that friends were passionate about. Not because I wanted to read a good book, but because I wanted to know why they were passionate about the author or book. So it made me really happy to finally read On the Road. Even though I didn't like it, I learned a lot about Natacia and it makes me happy. :) So..yeah. Welcome to B&N Folks.

The Kite Runner

Oh, Kite Runner. This book is SO incredibly written. The storytelling takes my breath away!
This was also one of the best book club meetings we ever had. I say book club but we were all so close and we all loved to read...so it was just a meeting of friends. We had the best afghanistan food and i was the only one brave enough to drink the rose water. It was delicious.
The book conversation was also incredibly interesting. Sandra and I had very strong cultures and we were raised with that culture as a back bone. And we were the only ones who agreed that the main character in this book was hard to forgive. We didn't sympathize with him. It was really interesting!
The book, though, was really hard for me to read. I mean...it was SO SO SO SAD. It was SO good but so OVERWHELMINGLY sad. I could never recommend this one off the bat because of the feelings it evokes..so powerful. If someone asks about it though, I do always say that the storytelling is brilliant.

The Reading Group

Ok, wow. This book was pretty amazing. It was a more than chick literature. It was a story about how all these woman who know each other, but just barely, form a reading group and as they discuss the books, they find out so much more about themselves and each other. I highly recommended this one to anyone I come across who dig books like this.

Every Boy's Got One

I actually really loved this book. It made me want a blackberry really bad. The idea of being able to email and chat with friends during a trip to Italy sounds pretty awesome. And I just like how a blackberry sounds. I would totally become a blackberry junkie. It would make my friends despise me.
Back to the book though, I really liked it. I was supposed to read it with Shelly because she told me about some book club she was reading it for and though she actually never got around to reading it-I LOVED IT. And I had jumped on another Meg Cabot read. :)

Wizard's First Rule

Ok ok ok ok. I really like this series. Yea, I know. I've read it 3 times. What can I say? The man has a sword of truth. I mean, if I had a sword, it would be truth.
