What a great series!

I rewatched the movie and then read the book and like usual I liked the book better because you could tell the main character was getting better as the book progressed.

My favourites, by far, are the Harry Potter books. I love most of the books on the list, though. I’ve read them all. :]

There will be doughnuts and cider. This event will take place at Les Tassel Park at 2900 Thornapple River Dr. (take Cascade Rd. east toward the Thornapple river and turn right just before the river). Hope to see you there! BYOB (Bring your own book)! This is a free event.

What is your favorite Banned book? Mine would have to be To Kill a Mockingbird.
