One day while I was down at BYU I was sitting in Parker's apartment with him and all of his roomates and a couple other guys. They were talking about books. Weird right? Not a typical guys conversation. At least not what I'm used to.. Anyway, they started talking about the Harry Potter books and I mentioned that I have never read them. They, of course, were all shocked by this confession and one of them was even so bold as to say that we couldn't be friends anymore until I have read all of them. Then Parker made me promise to read them this summer. So since my job has allowed me to fall in love with reading all over again, I have begun my quest of reading the Harry Potter series. I have read the first three in the last week or so and what can I say other than this. I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE BOOKS! I'm a fanatic already. Thank you Parker! I cannot believe I've waited this long to read them. I'm completely obsessed and if I wasn't going on a family reunion and then having Parker get here the day I come home from that I would already have started the next one but I know full well that I will get just as attached to it as I have been to the others. If I didn't have so many fun things coming up I would have made the goal to have all of them done by the 15th, when Part 2 of the Deathly Hallows premiere is.. but since I've got the reunion and Parker coming I don't think that'll happen... that's ok. I'll just see it anyway because I just cannot wait. I have never really known what all the hype about Harry Potter was until now. Ya the movies are good and everything but oh man. The books. They are genius. Ok, now I need to go get everything done that I've been neglecting while I've been reading haha If you haven't read Harry Potter, make like nike and just do it. NOW!
I'm going to be Hermione for halloween this year. |
