Harry Potter Baby!!!!
I’m 29 years old soon to be 30 and should know better but I love, love, love Harry Potter. I have a love of reading that spans over two decades. Books to me are precious and priceless and I love nothing better than to curl up in my comfortable chair and read a book. No TV, no music, no phone, just peace and quiet and my book. When I was a child books were an escape for me. They made me feel safe in an environment that wasn’t. Even back then I could open a 300-page book and read it from cover to cover in no time. I will read just about any type of book. I love mysteries and romance, fiction and non-fiction. It doesn’t really matter. I went from a child reading Judy Blume to an adult reading John Grisham. But when I started reading Harry Potter I didn’t realize that I would get hooked. I know they are supposed to be for kids but I can’t help it. I cannot wait to start on the new one.
I’ve started reading them to Peanut, which I mentioned to a friend of mine. She flipped out. “Those books are about witches and wizards and that’s the devil.” Uhhhh… be easy. It’s just a book. I’m not teaching him about devil worship or anything like that. It’s called imagination. I will teach him how to draw the line between fantasy and reality. I mean it’s the same with Barney and Dragon Tales. He’s not going to go around looking for purple dinosaurs or flying dragons. I think Harry Potter teaches children valuable lessons about friendship and strength.
Anyway… It’s going to rain all weekend again. I wanted to take the Peanut swimming this weekend but I guess that’s out. His dad should be here which should be interesting since we haven’t really been talking lately. I don’t even want to get into all of that drama. I guess I’ll just have to see how it goes.

I thought I was the only grown ass woman that flipped out over Harry. And then had people flip out at me because it's about witches and stuff. I'm like you...calm it down. It's okay. I love Lord of the Rings too.
When I was younger I kept the the bottom bed of my daybed pulled out so all of the books that wouldn't fit on my bookcase could go in there...my own underground library as my best friend named it. I love to read too.
Do your thing girl!
