On Sunday Funsize and I finished our read-through of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". Rereading this book for the first time since it was first published, I'm reminded of my two previous conclusions regarding the book: on the one hand, it's a great ending to the series, and itself ends really well; on the other it is by far the weakest book in the series, and for large stretches of it just isn't very good. (Basically, there about about 200 pages in the first half of the book that should just be dropped.)
But that's not really the topic of this post.
As we were getting close to the end, Funsize was presented with a choice: we could then tackle "The Lord of the Rings" ("The Hobbit" was not quite the first book I read to her), or we could make a switch: LC would take over her bedtime, and I would instead read to Surprise!.
In the event, Funsize elected to make the switch. So instead Surprise! and I will be making a start on (probably) Winnie the Pooh, or maybe Thomas the Tank Engine. And then we'll see - there are lots of books ahead of us.
As I said, the end of an era, albeit a fairly short one.
#27: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", by J.K. Rowling (a book for Funsize)
