Harry Potter Moment of the Week

                                          
                                         Join the fun over at UncorkedThoughts.

Best Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes Product
                     Extendable Ears (Conceptual Artwork for the HP5 movie)


Without a doubt my favorite was the extendable ears. How cool were they? Plus they played a significant part in Order of the Phoenix. It was such a simple product but it proved to be so useful. It worked better than the old glass up against a door trick. It also truly spoke about human nature and our need to spy especially as children.

I Love Picture Books Reading Challenge 2014

I Love Picture Books
Reading Challenge
2014



For all of you who still love picture books but find they don't qualify for your other challenges. . . You know you're going to read them, they might as well count!

Guidelines:
  • Challenge runs from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014
  • Read picture books
  • Pick a number and go for it. Twelve too easy? Go for 20. Piece of cake? Go for 40.
  • Books you own and library check outs count. So do ebooks and re-reads.
  • Please post about the challenge and sign up with a direct link.
  • A blog is not necessary, just link to where you talk about the challenge
  • Reviews are not necessary but would be nice (so we know which ones to read ourselves!) A link for reviews will be posted in January.

For this reading challenge I plan on reading 125 picture books with my son. Yeah you read that right. 125! We read over 75 books this summer alone so I think we can easily do it.
