Posting a quick update to record my reading progress.
We are currently snowed in here. Over the past couple of days we just got dumped on and its really quite beautiful. Driving in it isn’t very fun though. Does anyone else enjoy shoveling snow? I do! Too bad my heart doesn’t agree, so I have to really limit myself. It makes me miss the days of my childhood where I’d spend the day outside sledding, building snow forts and snowmen. Ah those were the days.
Does anyone remember Crazy Carpet sleds? They are also known as Flying Carpets..
I had so much fun with these as a kid, but man were they ever hard on the knees.
Now lets talk books..
My Reading Progress
I finally finished my re-read of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This is as far as I’ve ever read in the series, however I plan to remedy that in the months to come. I’m looking forward to continuing the series, but I’m kind of worried I won’t be into the remaining books like I was the first 4. Did anyone else have this problem with the HP series? I enjoyed The Goblet of Fire, but the third book still remains my favourite. It surprised me how much of the plot I had forgotten. So in a way it was kind of like reading it for the first time.
Currently Reading
I’ve made great progress with these two books. I hope to finish off Ellen’s book tonight and Beth Labonte’s later in the week.
What are you all reading? Leave me a message in the comments.
Happy reading.

We’ve gotten a ton of snow too, although you might have more than us. Ours melted briefly and then we got slammed again. Quite the winter we’re having lol.
Summer at Sunset looks cute. I could use some summer right about now!

Our snow is melting fast now that we are getting rains. Hope the weather isn’t too bad in your area.

I like looking at snow, but I do not like shoveling it! The last couple books in the HP series get quite long and complex; they have a different feel than the earlier books. I think The Goblet of Fire is my favorite, though.

I’m worried that they will be too dark for my liking, but I’m going to attempt them anyway.

Love Harry Potter! I read them all and enjoyed every one of them. I think the first one is the most special but they were all fantastic. It does get darker as you go however. Thanks for sharing!

There is definitely more of a childlike innocence to the first couple of books. I guess it is only natural that the books get darker as the characters grow older. I just hope I still enjoy them.

The snow always seems to miss us. We are a number of inches below normal in snowfall. I’m okay with that because, while I love looking at it, I don’t like driving on snowy roads. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

I do not like shoveling, but I do like sledding. The fifth HP book is my least favorite. I love the seventh one. Have a great week!

I really enjoyed Ellen’s book. I listened to the audiobook mostly because Ellen read’s it and I think it just added a level of funny.

I agree, it was nice listening to her narrate it. It was just like listening to one of her monologues. Thanks for stopping by Amelia.
