I really enjoyed Dashing Through The Snow and will be able to participate in the discussion thread if we have one. I will read The Hour I First Believed for January 1st. I also picked up a Warriors book called Cats of the Clans. It is a bio of each of the cat leaders and their clan. It is a good way to know the Warrior cats before reading their story. It also has beautiful illustrations. And for background music I found a cd called Songs Of The Cat. The songs are all about cats, I put it on quietly while I read about the Warrior cat clans. Dashing Through The Snow was a terrific holiday suspense story. I love when I can read for fun.

Did anyone get thru "The Hour I First Believed"?
Rossy, The Whistling Season is really good; I'm thinking of re-reading it, and also recommended it to hubby. Interestingly, it takes place during the 1909-1910 school year and I read it just prior to the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year!Posted 2 years ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

Really? Remind me not to read She's Come Undone. The book was a tough read and I did have to make myself take breaks, especially when re-canting the events of April 20; although many miles away, I was working in a high school that day, which is almost as vivid to me as 9/11.
I decided to read the Harry Potter series. Started last fall and just finished the last one the other day. A fun series.
I also just finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie and am set to start For One More Day.Posted 2 years ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

Much different than the others. I was mad about Hedwig, and wondered about Crookshanks! (I suppose she was at the Burrow) I thought it seemed to wrap things up pretty well, although it would have been nice to enhance the epilogue to include the parent's day at Hogwarts, so we could see some reunions and find out what happened to the teachers who were there when we saw them last. I would also have liked to have seen how Petunia, Vernon and Dudley were doing, whether they ever became the least bit thankful or at least understanding, although we know Dudley was.

It drove me nuts because I felt like after telling a particular story for six books and making us all care about a particular group of characters, all of a sudden she decided to tell an entirely different story with different characters. Very frustrating.
On the flipside, I will always remember how I got the last book. Mr. K and I were flying to Amsterdam the night the book was released, to board a cruise ship. I had been madly trying to figure out how to get my hands on the book, with no luck. When we landed in Amsterdam, Mr. K left me alone briefly to visit the Gents, and when he came back he said "that store, over there, it's by the register and it says Harry Potter". It was the British edition, so it doesn't match with the rest of my set, but I didn't mind.

I'm glad the 3 core characters stayed that way.
