I finished reading the first book of the Harry Potter extravaganza, world-wide hype, Muggle uprising, household name of a series. I'll admit that I was overtaken from my views that this was just some silly children's book. J. K. Rowlings captures the imagination with prose that drew me in. The characters in the book are unique, the plot is tied to things from the beginning and I had an extraordinary time reading it. It may not have been technically hard but if something is fun and stirs the imagination it is well worth it in my opinion. Next up Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets.
I read the Reader's Digest and in the latest supplement issue entitled, Future, I found a contest that I'd like to share with the rest of my blogging friends/readers and whathaveyou. Tomorrow, July 14th, I encourage you to enter the Reader's Digest Win the Ride of a Lifetime contest.
