Deathly Hallows
I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Wouldn’t you know, I want to talk about it and everybody else has already done their talking! Darn. Now I’ll have to go back through my blogroll’s old posts and see if I can figure out who might still want to talk. Alice edited: Spoiler warning in the comments!!
Potter Mania
Has everyone read the book already? Do you have your copy yet? I don’t! I didn’t get caught up in the media blitz because I don’t get much in the way of media.

Contemporary, Historical, or Paranormal? All the above! Seriously, I read them as they come to hand. I try to read more of whatever type I happen to be writing, but will often simply grab as the mood strikes me. Hardback or Trade Paperback or Mass Market Paperback? Mass Market Heyer or Austen? Both! Repeatedly. Amazon or Brick and Mortar? Brick and Mortar when I don’t know what I’m after. Amazon when I’m after something in particular. Barnes & Noble or […]
