You're Not Good Enough Book Tag!   ( Source:  Becca and Chami ) I saw Booksandlala do this tag the other day. It was funny to hear all her answers and so I decided to take a stab at it. The premise of the tag is that you need to put 30 (book) character names in a jar or container. Then for each question pull out two names and answer what best fits the question. You should do this tag it's amazingly fun! Also, it produced some really funny answers! 1:  You only have one more spot on your Spelling B team, who would you pick to complete your team? HANNIBAL ( HANNIBAL SERIES) OR ROSE ( VAMPIRE ACADEMY SERIES) Hannibal for sure! He's a doctor and is super intelligent. The only problem is that he can be very dangerous if you cross him so I'll have to watch out. 2:   Both characters want to kill you, which one would you kill first so you have a better chance of surviving? WILL H. ( THE INFERNAL DEVICES ) OR LOU ( ME BEFORE YOU ) I ...

Review /Rereading: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets  by J.K. Rowling Format (That I Read It): Book Summary: All Harry Potter wants is to get away from the Dursleys and go back to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby - who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike. And strike it does.

But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone--or something--starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past...

Review /Rereading: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling Format (That I Read It): Book Summary: Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley, who are mean to him and make him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. (Dudley, however, has two bedrooms, one to sleep in and one for all his toys and games.) Then Harry starts receiving mysterious letters and his life is changed forever. He is whisked away by a beetle-eyed giant of a man and enrolled at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The reason: Harry Potter is a wizard! The first book in the "Harry Potter" series makes the perfect introduction to the world of Hogwarts. Initial Thoughts: I have never re-read Harry Potter, EVER. I have great childhood moments with this series. For the past few months, I've been wanting to get back into the series, but it had never been the right moment. That was until I woke up a...
