I'm not usually one for the fantasy genre, but the story hooked me from the get go and I was totally able to suspend disbelief. And I still want to see a quiddich match lol. Haven't decided to try this one yet, but our reading lists are very similar so I think I might give it a try on your recommendation. Thanks!

I could appreciate the characters and writing in Twilight. But, I was ready to get back to the maturity and realistic Mitford the minute I finished that first Twilight. Funny. I, like you, resisted for quite some time. Will you read the next book? ~MindyMindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150240407669351344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-18897647809853971882009-10-22T08:45:46.495-05:002009-10-22T08:45:46.495-05:00Mornin', Dixie...

I haven't read the book...too busy on this blasted machine...but I saw the first movie with grands and, expecting to be goofy, I was pleasantly surprised. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it very much..and the grands ? Well, when we walked out, the oldest one, 12, said, "Well, Memaw, I think I am in LOVE!" :)bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-50740530317791523772009-10-22T08:29:16.349-05:002009-10-22T08:29:16.349-05:00Welcome to the club....it is fun!Welcome to the club....it is fun!Anne B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17465309674184571075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-76083107240250897302009-10-22T08:20:30.360-05:002009-10-22T08:20:30.360-05:00I have to admit that fantasy has never had much ap...I have to admit that fantasy has never had much appeal for me. When I taught English, a lot of my students read the Tolkein books for book reports. I just couldn't get into them. <br /><br />I read the first Harry Potter. It was okay, but it didn't grab me.<br /> <br />I've heard about the "Twilight" rage, but I just don't think I'm interested. However, maybe I should take a cue from you and try it.KBeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02749986838867446338noreply@blogger.com
