No Spoilers, I Promise

Sorry it's been a bit since my last post. I am now officially a girl who has finished the Harry Potter series. I feel changed. It's the end of an era, the end of a series that had a HUGE effect on our (or at least my) generation. I'm sad that it's over, to tell you the truth. I grew up with the characters, and while I've never been obsessed with the books the way a lot of people are (I suspect this is because I read waaay more than the average person and have found a lot of books that I love), we've had a great run with Harry Potter, and I will definitely be re-reading the series every now and then when I need some magic in my life.

It is now time for me to obsessively wait for the next book in the Twilight series to come out. Eclipse (by Stephenie Meyer) is due out August 7th, and I can't wait! If you haven't read Twilight, I strongly recommend picking up a copy. You'll be hooked instantly, even if you aren't really in the age range for "teen" books. Also, don't let the whole vampire storyline put you off...I didn't think I liked vampire books, but this one is totally different. Romance, danger, adventure, and carefully placed bits of humor...there's really nothing to dislike about it. Read, and then we can discuss!

I am such a nerd. Indulge me, please.

The 7th book was amazing. I cant stand the Twilight series though.

Really? I've never met anyone who doesn't like it. The 7th HP was amazing, though.
