This has been my family's view of me for the last week or so...
Granted this is not unusual. A book for a face is pretty typical for me but over the last week its been even worse because I started the Harry Potter series. Yes for the first time ever. I am almost done with the 3rd book and at my weekly library visit I was very disappointed to find that they did not have book 4 and 5. I figured I would place a hold and just wait it to come in. Then I read another 100 pages of the 3rd book last night and knew that I would go through some major withdrawals if I didn't have the 4th book ready to go. So this morning I took a quick break from work to run a quick errand. That errand? Going to another library to pick up books 4 and 5.
I feel much better now.
So I know that I am like 10 years behind on the whole Potter craze but I am usually behind the trends. (Don't mind me while I watch Napoleon Dynamite in my Juicy Couture sweatpants.) Phi and I read the first book last summer and it was pretty good. I was needing something to read and noticed I had the 2nd book so I picked it up. I was hooked.
I never picked up these books, even when my niece was super into them, because I didn't think wizards and magic were my thing. I never even saw the movies so the whole storyline is completely new to me. So apparently wizards and magic are totally my thing. I want a wand and a cloak now. I have even found myself on the Pottermore website. FYI I suck at potions but I'm awesome at spells.
I now understand all these Harry Potter references. Like now I totally get the whole..

"I solemnly swear I am up to no good"
So when my niece finished the series my parents took her to Harry Potter World in Florida.
Think I can convince them to take me??
