Anyway, one of my 36 in 365 goals was to read all of the books again before the next movie comes out on July 15th. I have to do this to refresh my memory or else I won't know what the heck is going on. It's like a new adventure every time I read one!
I have been wondering if it's possible to read all seven books in one month, and I think it's not. That won't stop me from trying though! I have returned all of my library books so I can FOCUS. I've also been thinking of ways to speed up the process, and thought I could possibly read one of the books to my class. Is that selfish?! I think they'd like it!
In the past, I have used Harry quite a bit in teaching, and the kids love it. For Media Lit, we once discussed how a book may have many different covers, created for different audiences and reasons. Below are just a few covers for the first book, and there are so many more!
It's all very interesting, isn't it, or am I just a nerd?

You can do it. I think when I first got books one through five I read them all in a couple of weeks. I remember staying up late, missing my subway stop, and long streetcar rides when I discovered Harry.
ReplyDeleteI think you can do it! I made a goal for myself too, I plan to finish the Harry Potter series before the end of the summer though and I'm on book 4 already.
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter is awesome, I never thought I'd be this attached...even to the point where I cried at the end of book three! Enjoy (again)!
You can do it, Jilly!!!
