UPDATED: Favorite book and movie results

BAHAHAHAH I FORGOT TO POST!  THANKS TO THE 28 PEOPLE WHO VIEWED!  HAHAHAH

But, here we go!

We only had two people respond to the question, "What is your favorite Harry Potter book"..

RockinLibrarian says, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" because "Sure, Harry was an unstable wreck (but hey, wouldn't you be, too, if you were 15 and you'd just been used in a dark ritual to bring your parents' murderer back to life and it didn't occur to anyone that you could possibly use some counseling after?), but LUNA! DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY! THE SUPREME AWFULNESS OF UMBRAGE AND HER TECHNICOLOR KITTY PLATES! Bloated? Maybe. But all the best stuff happens WITHIN the bloat."

Love it! Technicolor kitty plates!

And Adriane says her favorite is "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" because, "I feel like this was still an innocent moment for Harry. After this point the books turned darker. I still liked them... Really loved them, but this book showed the promise and youth of Harry, Hermione, and Ron."

When last I looked, there weren't any responses to "What is your favorite Harry Potter movie?". So, if you'd like to go ahead and answer, click here for the form.

What was your favorite Harry Potter book?

My growing collection

This was actually pretty hard for me to write.  How can I choose just one?  I love them all!  Well, some I like more than others (I'm looking at you #5, aka the year Harry was a jerk to everyone), but they all have a special place in my heart.

That being said, I think my favorite(s) are #1 and #7.  I chose #1 because that is where the magic began, and the one that introduced me to this wonderful world.  And #7 because they've grown up and it was the culmination of everything.

Now, I do love my two editions located on the left in the picture above.  The green one was a gift my sister found in South Africa (#4) and the other (#7) is one my husband brought back for me from The United Arab Emirates (think southeast of Saudi Arabia).

But I'm curious, what is your favorite and why?  I'd love to do a follow up post of your quotes/reasons.  If you would be so kind as to fill out the following form, I'd really appreciate it.  I'll post your responses on January 24.

In My Mailbox 13: Holy e-books, Batman!

In my mailbox is a weekly posting hosted by Kristi, The Story Siren, where you post whatever books you've gotten in the mail, downloaded, borrowed or bought that week.

If you couldn't tell, I was able to download a TON of e-books this week, thanks to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster Galley Grab.  Harlequin also had a link up this week to a free e-book of The Strange Case of Finley Jane (the prequel to The Girl in the Steel Corset), you can download that here.

It was also teacher appreciation week this week, and my awesome administrators bought each teacher a copy of their favorite book!  So, I now have my very own copy of Where the Red Fern Grows!  Oh, Old Dan and Little Ann, you always make me cry, but I love you so!
