Happy weekend to you all!
Sadly I am still on this 5th Harry Potter book. I didn't read for 2 days though, as we celebrated my brothers' 50th on Saturday and I was hungover Sunday. :-)  I really hope this will be the last time you see this book, even though it is good. With a holiday weekend here, it's iffy to be honest...

 Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian readers!
Check out this read on Amazon.
Here is my snippet from page 556, so I did get 300 pages since last week! That's a normal size book.  :-)

I won't be sharing the beginning this week.

    sometimes when I get stuck in a book for a long time, even if I am reading, it really makes me feel like I'm in a reading slump. I start my judging for Cybils this week so expect a lot of nonfiction book reviews from me for the next two months. My Friday Quotes

    300 pages certainly is a normal length book. Well done for persevering. I'm loving the snippets from Harry Potter.

    That's a long book - 300 pages is good going for a week's reading!

    This one is such a monster of a book! Reading 300 pages is quite an accomplishment. I hope that it is one that you are enjoying. :)

    Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to you, Freda! I, for one, truly appreciate our Canadian friends/neighbors, as I think most Americans do, regardless of what the government is doing. So sorry about that.

Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
