This summer was a particularly exciting one for Harry Potter fans, of which I most definitely am a big one. The week before Deathly Hallows was released I decided to re-read both The Order of the Phoenix and The Half Blood Prince. My life was completely taken over, and it's possible I began to confuse reality and the world of Hogwarts, especially as I saw the new film that week as well! But i'm glad I did my revision. As always with JK Rowling, the clues were in the little details, and i'll very smugly say that I was right about a couple of big things in Deathly Hallows. Obviously i'll not discuss the plot here, but I thought it was a great book. What did you think? I wont publish any comments that spoil things, so if you want to discuss the finer details please come and see me in the LRC.
I've also just finished reading Garth Nix's Sabriel. I've been meaning to read this for years and now that I have I wasn't disappointed. I did feel it got off to a bit of a slow start, but it wasn't long before the adventure and magic really got going. I think i'll need to read the rest of the trilogy.
So what did you read over the summer? What was good and what is best avoided? Post a comment and let us all know your recommendations.
