Friday Reads

Without sounding like the annoying youtube girl, I must say "It's Friday!"  I have been waiting for this day all week long.  With Blake being gone this week I cranked out some extra hours at work, and believe I have work hangover (when you're too exhausted to think straight) this morning.  I'm fuzzy, and the coffee doesn't seem to be working.  Huh.

But it's Friday!  And it's Harry Potter day for me.  Last week I re-read the last half of The Deathly Hallows in anticipation of the movie today.  And I have to tell you, I learned something new again.  The whole wand thing confused me the first time, or I might have been rushing through to see what happened in the end.  Not sure, but I think I finally understand it now, and this time there was something I read that made me stop, read again, and think BRILLIANT! 

"Tell me one last thing, " said Harry.  "Is this real?  Or has this been happening inside my head?"

Dumbledore beamed at him, and his voice sounded loud and strong in Harry's ears even though the bright mist was descending again, obscuring his figure. 

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"

I simply adore J.K. Rowling. 

I also had the pleasure of reading Dee's cookbook (yes, I read the entire thing in one sitting).  I loved it so much I finally splurged and bought my own copy, and I'm going to try and make at least one recipe every week. 

My Friday Reads pick for today is going to be After You by Julie Buxbaum.  I cannot figure out why I haven't read any of her stuff yet, but seriously looking forward to settling in with this one.  I will let you know how it goes!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and thank you for stopping by!
