Harry Potter

I don't know why, but I-for some reason- always go back to certain books or series. And Harry Potter is one of them. I absolutely adore them, the charecters, the development, the relationships, the plot, and, of course, the magic. Harry Potter is one of those series that have impacted an entire generation, and will continue to be a part of peoples lives. So many people can relate to it, the characters, that it is hard to not find someone who likes it. Or loves it. We can escape into that world. We can draw inspiration from it, and it helps to make us better. It teaches lessons that NEED to be taught. Lessons about Friendship, and Bravery, and standing up for what is right, instead of what is easy. There are so many quotes that can be taken from it, so many that strike a note with us. I think that the way these books impact people from all over the world is simply incredible. And yes, dare I say it, magical. It is hard for me to put into words my thoughts and feelings about these books, simply because they have made such an impact upon me. I am proud to call myself a Potterhead. And yes, you may quote me on that.

Shame On Me.

I know. I haven't posted in over a week, so whups. it may not seem like a long time, but if I fall back into the habit of not posting, this blog will be dormant for gosh knows how long. Bad Madi. Anyway, I will post about a book tomorrow, because its late and I`m tired and I want to watch Miami Ink. But! The post(s) will come. Adios, amigos.

Things Not Seen

This was a really good book. And I have to admit, I was a little surprised. I honestly didn't really expect to like it, because I just randomly grabbed it off the shelf of my library `cause I thought the title was cool. Things Not Seen is by Andrew Clements, the author of Frindle and A Week In The Woods, along with others. This particular book, however, is about Bobby, a 15-year old boy who is not really noticed at school, not really noticed at home, either, come to think of it, and is normal in every way except for one morning he wakes up to find himself invisible. Yes, invisible. His entire life is flipped upside down, and he needs to find a solution, fast. This book really is good, and I love Andrew Clements. It was interesting to see how Bobby dealt with his problem. I think that he evolves as a person, and he makes a new friend, who, like Bobby, has an issue, albeit of a slightly different nature. The two of them help each other mature, and, in my opinion, think about things differently, and help each other to see themselves. I would recommend this, and if you disagree with my explanation, let me know! (Because, as we are aware, I am horrible at explaining books. :p) Read on!
