One book you've never been able to finish: The World According to Garp by John Irving


One book that made you laugh: God Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips

One book you keep rereading: any book from the Harry Potter series


One book you've been meaning to read: A Language Older than Words by Derrick Jensen

Finally,
Grab the nearest book. Open it to page 56. Find the fifth sentence.

Ooh, how are you liking the Leni Zumas book? I read that last year and was quite impressed. Not all the stories were great but there were a couple I really liked.

Bree said...

I love Harry Potter too and can't wait for the next movie. I so wish the series hadn't ended.

Page 247: No problem!

Iliana: The book is great! Some of the stories are very impressive and stay with you after reading them.

Bree: Harry Potter is a book I can not pick up unless I have hours to devote to reading it. I get lost in that series every time I read it!
