35. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

66. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K.Rowling - this one had a few nice moments, but felt awfully contrived and inorganic. Several scenes left me scratching my head.

The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons makes me weep like a baby... Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, too, lol. Any book from the Outlander series can get tears outta me. And of course, I've begun rereading it from the beginning. Just finished An Echo in the Bone you see, and I ...

... finished with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on audiocassette. I'll probably finish it tonight and move on to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. My talking browser isn't working, and I'm finding using a conventional browser with Window-eyes extremely frustrating.

Harry Potter is also pretty decent ;). And I'd also recommend The Name of the Wind.

46. Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling I think the third time's the charm for me with this book. The first time I read it I thought it was a little bit of a letdown after the wonderfulness of Order Of The Phoenix. The second time it was merely a precursor to the final ...

This morning I had to back up 3 times to catch part of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I kept getting distracted, then would realize I'd glossed over something important. There aren't many audiobooks that I like - I'm very persnickety about the reader's voice - so read many more books ...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is tagged "Austen" once -- which is as many times as has First Among Sequels. For the latter book, the tag makes sense (as it involves one of Jane's more famous works). But how this tag got associated with a Harry Potter book, I have no idea.

... two short Lord of the Rings fics posted, the rest are bit and pieces on my hard drive :) Aside from LotR, I read some Harry Potter and actually got started reading fanfiction with Pride and Prejudice.

Honestly, I think that if the major concerned groups that have banned Harry Potter should pause and look at their own libraries, book or otherwise. How many of them will have Disney movies in their collections? How many will have a series of children's fairy tales like Cinderella or even Dr. Seuss ...

PhilipMarlowe, the ones who banned Harry Potter are the Catholics! Even though I am a catholic myself, I strongly object to the church deciding which books are good and which are not. In this case, for example, what the heck did they base their decision on? If nothing else, HP promotes the ...

... barely any YA for the last few years, so now there's so much that looks interesting! I don't think people are against Harry Potter and The DaVinci Code for quite the same reasons. I haven't read the DaVinci Code, but I get the impression that it's not actually a very good book - it's ...

... of Fire has overtaken it as #1 Favourite over the past couple of readings. It's just so cool. I really loved The Half-Blood Prince too, though... I think it might overtake GoF eventually.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince; I'm biased for anything Snape, so the more he appears in the story, the more I enjoy it. I liked his portions in OOTP, but the revelation of Spinner's Alley and his interaction with both Narcissa and Bellatrix was exquisite. The plot was well developed, ...
