Deathly Hallows Book Discussion **LoTs Of Spoilers** - Page 13

I second that thought!

I have a DD, who is already an avid reader and at the ripe old age of 8 knocked out the first Potter book in 7 days. That is much faster then her father, who took at least 3 weeks. Granted he doesn't have as much time on his hands, but even I managed the longest book in 2 days.

I love the fact that she scored in the 98th percentile (on national level of ranking) in her reading and comprehension tests score this year.

I am even prouder (even though he hasn't picked up a Potter book on his own yet-just our family bedtime readings) that my oldest DS hit 99% this year as well. Reading is so important, and no matter what gets them into it, I am glad there are books that get this much press attention to entice them to read. It is much better than the Spears and Lohan press IMHO. When was the last time that any childrens or fanatsy books had been given this much press and hype?

Is there a smiley yet for "if you didn't want to hear this, why did you click on this thread"?

It's the same sentiment that quite a few people were giving in the Transformers thread.

Oh, alright- I'll go start the 'Let's not discuss Harry Potter thread. Any volunteers for the 'iSm goes ballistic' thread?

Lashbear, you are too funny! Good one....

Lol!!!! I typed in nearly the very same thing, but then erased it because I didn't know if Matt was just having a bad day and needed to vent.

I like Butterbeer.

I've been having a great time with the books. Sorry for the screaming, I was doing it all in fun.
