I don't know if "re-readability" is actually a word, but it's one of my main criteria in deciding whether to keep a book - and the Harry Potters are definitely re-readable.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-44988842984694547962014-06-30T08:00:40.217-05:002014-06-30T08:00:40.217-05:00I loved the Harry Potter series!

I finally bought my own set of Harry Potter at the beginning of May, and then raced through 6 books in 2 weeks, though I had initially planned to save them until I had the time to relish the re-read. I'm now reluctantly keeping aside the seventh book because the thought of not spending time with these characters and in this world for a few years (until I forget enough to re-read) makes me feel bereft.Sharanya Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893311695166145618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-63306964321951475032014-06-02T07:28:31.943-05:002014-06-02T07:28:31.943-05:00Thank you, Susan - it was a lovely birthday, in sp...Thank you, Susan - it was a lovely birthday, in spite of the torrential rains :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-76264814107581239262014-06-01T18:57:32.878-05:002014-06-01T18:57:32.878-05:00Many happy returns of the day!

I haven't had a nice reading binge like this in a while :)<br /><br />Anbolyn, I have to space out my re-readings, or books can become too familiar & lose their magic. This was obviously the right time for Harry Potter though!<br /><br />vicki, I discovered the series just after The Chamber of Secrets was published - back where there were only two, hard to remember!

It's not usually planned; I just get a yen for them!<br /><br />Also, I am delighted that the fifth book is your favorite. I feel like it gets a lot of flak from Harry Potter fans (because of how angry Harry is), but I love it ferociously.Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.com
