    I saw the Harry Potter movie and decided that I really need to reread the book.

    @heatherI am hoping to get to the book this week. We are taking my niece to see it in IMAX on Dec 10th – I need to get reading!

    I am currently on my school break(i am an english language teacher). My problem is I have a lot of books – whether it's physical books or e-books, but I can't seem to find the mood to read them. I know, I keep on procastinating while I was working, keeping my reading on hold until I am free. Could you recommend a book for me? Which is better- Safe Haven or Not My Daughter?

    @inahornaw I loved them both but I would say Safe Haven is a little lighter than Not My Daughter. My reviews are up for both if you want more information on them. Good luck selecting!

    You had a good week. I keep meaning to read something by Nicholas Sparks but just haven't yet. I have also been meaning to read Anne of Green Gables and even went so far as to buy a copy. However, other books took priority. Have a good reading week!

    Enjoy your reread of The Deathly Hallows! The new movie is really very good.

    I'm about to finish Little Bee! I'm so anxious and excited, can't wait for my book club to discuss it in January!
    Next in line: finishing a book by Harry Kraus (Christian medical drama novelist) and I just got Dear John by Nicholas Spark from Bookmooch.com. Love that site!

    I am sure your book club will have a great discussion about Little Bee. I've got Cross Fire on my stack to get too.
