But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?

Yesterday I started to reread the Harry Potter series again.  With all of this Hunger Games craze, I just reread that series and needed to be reminded of what started it all.  I realized that this made me a little sad.

When I started reading Harry Potter for the first time, it was before the craze started.  I had no idea that Harry was a wizard and I think it made the books even better for being able to discover that for myself.

I love that there are these books that make kids want to join up and read before the movie comes out but sometimes I wish that my future potential children would have the option to read these books and make all of the fun plot discoveries by themselves.  I know that there will be other books that will be new and different for them but it makes me sad when I see kids who don't read in favor of TV.  To be fair, a number of parenting technique that I witness make me a little sad but on the flip side, I know some truly amazing parents who are in the process of raising some pretty stellar kids.

Sorry it has taken me so long to post.  I couldn't think of anything that I felt was important enough to follow the last post.

There are some new and exciting things brewing but more on that when they work out a little more clearly.
