So once again I have found
myself at what seems to be the end of an era. This last book in the series
always seems to be the point I aim for, to relive some of my favourite parts,
but also one of the books which destroys me emotionally along the way. It never
has the same impact that it had the first read through, but I don’t suppose a
book will ever have so much expectation resting upon it from me. I had grown up
and journeyed with these characters, which seemed to make their loses, my
loses. Their triumphs, my triumphs.
I salute Rowling, and thank
her for making reading an essential part of me. That is something I will always
have and I wonder if without Harry Potter I would be quite the bookworm I am
today!
Also as far as my personal
challenge I am well ahead now, but hopefully this will give me a bit of room it
I then hit a tougher book that takes a bit longer. I don’t tend to choose
‘small’ books, as the pace I normally read at makes it seem pointless and I
like to invest in a story, so this time ahead of my challenge may well be
needed later on. But overall so far I am really pleased and really enjoying
challenging my reading in this way and making myself stick to a deadline is
very useful and makes me feel much more productive. From here on the books I
read I will attempt to actually review at least in regards to my expectations
of them, I didn’t want to review Harry Potter as I have read them so many times
and in my opinion they can do no wrong that it felt pointless.
