what's that ticking? or Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone Book Review

Usually when I go to the library I check out 2-3 books/month and get through them all...well, that all changed when I started Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone. It took me 2 months to get through!! I just didn't care. It wasn't gripping or interesting or my type of book. Granted if I was 10 years old, I might feel different. Maybe I was disappointed because of all the hype. It just wasn't that great. (sorry all you Harry Potter fans) Given my previous bias against Harry Potter - Ryan did say he is very proud of me for trying with an open mind. Oh, well.

So, onto a different book, educational this time - "Potty Training Your Baby" by Katie Pelt. A little gem I found on clearance at Deseret Book. I know all of you will want to read it, ha. =) I'll still review it though.

Want to know something I like way better than Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone? This clip...and that's saying something! (yes, I know I've posted this before - but it was a long time ago, and it fits)

Barb, don't give up on Harry Potter! I am a big fan of the series, and even I have never been able to force myself to plod my way through the first book. I just skipped it and started with the second one. They really do get better and better as they go.

So I've never read Harry Potter (You will see this is a reoccuring theme with me...I don't read...) but I like the movies. And THEY get better as they go along. So it must be true for the books too. :-) And I must say, I LOVE that puppet show!
