It's been a long time...and I apologize. Between working two jobs and having school in the fall and spring, I've been a bit busy.
However, I do still manage to update my shelfari account (see my shelf to the right!), and am currently reading the Harry Potter series. For the first time. I know, I know...how have I managed to work in libraries for almost a decade and not read them?!?! It's pure madness. However, now that I've started them, I can't seem to get enough. I'm halfway through the sixth book and am slightly dreading the day when I close the seventh for the last time. Rarely am I able to find a longer series that holds my attention. I've often said that a good young adult series should be three or four books long, as most young adults will drop a series after a few books (let's face it: attention spans aren't what they used to be). Even the James Patterson Maximum Ride series, although amazing, got to be a bit repetitive after a while and I almost wanted to stop reading them (great for younger readers, the chapters are only a few pages long, so you can fly right through them!). The Harry Potter series, although longer than my recommended series length, pulls you right in to each book and you don't want to have to stop reading. I, unfortunately, didn't follow my own advice about reading the books before seeing the movies, but the books are so detailed the movies couldn't keep up with everything. I'm terribly excited to finish and see what other differences there are. Keep an eye on my shelfari!
