I'm Still Reading HP and Now Reading "16 Lighthouse Road"

Ok I am behind in my reading the HP book, but I did start another great book by Debbie Macomber, "16 Lighthouse Road". Oh I do like these Cedar Cove series. This is my 1st one and it is a page catcher already. I can forsee I will be reading them all. And did you see that Debbie has come out with knitting novels with patterns....ohhh I do love her books. If you haven't read any be sure to get a few...Now back to Cedar Cove, this is the 1st in the series and this one is about Olivia who is a court judge, divorced, single mom, and has a mom who is constantly taking her knitting into the court room to listen to all her daughter's cases. Its a place where you will never forget the characters. Oh and I am going to finish HP real soon I promise.....

Harry Potter of Course

Ok what else would I be reading during the frenzie but HP Deathly Hallows book???? I cannot wait to find out the news of where HP will be? I mean will JKrowling keep us in the dark or tell us that she intends to continue the series? I just took the HP quiz and I am definitly spending too much time reading HP..LOL..And the quiz on books 1 & 2 I need to refresh my memory a bit! But the author has a great talent of portraying HP and his friends. It fascinate's me how she continues the friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione and how well J.K. Rowling has captured the capriciousness of adolescents. These kids are constantly fiddling around where they shouldn’t — and getting busted for it repeatedly, which just makes me laugh. As "The Deathly Hallows" begins, Harry is about to turn 17 and would be starting his final year at Hogwarts, except that he has dropped out, along with best pals Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, to complete a mission left to them by Dumbledore.
Their secret mission is to destroy the four remaining Horcruxes hidden by Voldemort. A Horcrux is an object into which Voldemort has placed a portion of his soul. So long as even one Horcrux exists, Voldemort is immortal. Once all are destroyed, he can be killed like any mortal. Harry destroyed one in the second book, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets": the diary that Voldemort kept when he was a student at Hogwarts named Tom Riddle. And Dumbledore destroyed one, a ring, in the sixth book. They also need to find one of the rare can destroy a Horcrux, such as venom from a basilisk (a magical snakelike creature) or the Sword of Gryffindor, which is impregnated with the venom.
So, for much of "Deathly Hallows," the three friends are on the run, looking for the sword and the Horcruxes whose form and whereabouts are unknown, while the Ministry and Hogwarts are taken over by Voldemort loyalists, with Purebloods (the offspring of a witch and wizard) rounding up those pejoratively called Mudbloods (who have one or more Muggle, or nonmagical, parent) and "blood traitors" (wizarding folk who help Muggle-borns). Harry's official Ministry status is relegated to "Undesirable Number One" with a 10,000 Galleon price on his head. As usual, the three must use a combination of instinct, daring and knowledge to elude their hunters and accomplish their quest. (What other desperados would haul textbooks around with them on the lam?)
Ron and Hermione are willing to die for Harry, but occasionally they question whether he knows what he's doing. They fear his getting distracted by his desire to learn more about his parents (risking exposure by visiting the village where they died and are buried) and his obsession with a children's fairy tale that Dumbledore left them to ponder about, in which they learn about three objects, or "Hallows," believed to make whoever possesses them the master of death.
It turns out the tale contains clues to Harry's connection to Voldemort, as well as the key to how Harry can defeat him. He finally seizes his destiny, while accepting the help of the brave friends, schoolmates, parents and teachers who make a valiant stand against the Death Eaters, Dementors and dark creatures aligned with Voldemort in an apocalyptic battle at Hogwarts.
Readers -- and Harry himself -- have waited years to know everything, to fit all the pieces to the puzzle of Harry's life. And now it has been satisfyingly delivered, complete with an epilogue indicating what happens years later. I can't wait to continue and see what will untangle in this tale of all tales! Happy reading all you HP fans!

A Good Yarn my Summer Book

Hello I have now started to read "A Good Yarn" By Debbie Macomber. I cannot wait to finish this book. It is really getting interesting with bouncing back and forth with the lives of the characters that sign up for one of Lydia's knit classes. Lydia is the owner of the Blossom Street yarn shop that is the focal point of the books theme. It starts off with the first class, consisting of three women, and it is a disaster. One is irritable, another lacks basic confidence, and the third is a miserably unhappy teen. The story goes back and forth to each woman's story, A GOOD YARN takes the disparate threads and (okay, I can't resist) knits them together into one warm and snuggly shawl of a tale as the knitters form a supportive community. A truly enjoyable read that intertangle their lives which is still a mystery to me. But I am intrigued with it. I just got Back on Blossom Street, by Debbie Macomber from my good friend Jaynee in a book swap we were in together and so I will start that one right after I finish this book in the Blossom Street series. It centers around a yarn shop on Blossom Street, of course, in a small town in WA. I do so love Seattle, which is where Debbie Macomber is from. Be sure to read this one.

Welcome to my Reading Blog

Hello and welcome to DaBookLady's Reading Life blog. I have a passion for reading and can never get enough books to read! I have books everywhere in my house complete with 3 ceiling to floor bookcases. I usually read about 5 of books at a time. That way I can change my thoughts from Mystery to Romance to Sci-Fi to Thriller when my mood suits me. My most favorite type of books are Thrillers. They make me sit at the edge of my seat; gritting my teeth antisipating the terror to come. I love it! Does that make me a little strange??? My hubby thinks so, but then again isn't it a matter of opinion? I like the challenge of trying to figure out "Who done it?" and "Why?" I mean the trickier the maze of characters and slueths entangled in a web of deceit and murder the more enticing it is to my mind! One of my favorite TV shows is Murder She Wrote. not that it is so mind boggling, but it is light and all about mystery in a non-sexual violent way. I also love Stephen King for his fantasy into the unknown weird and macabe. Well.... that is another posting. Now I have gotten into swapping books and bookmarks and so I started my own DaBookLady Book and Bookmarker Swap [BABEs] to learn about more authors from other book lovers, like myself, and to have fun swapping books. I still have tons to post here so I better read on and complete my posting swept up in a knotted path of books, authors, and recipes!
