What book are you currently reading? Harry Potter & the Philosophers Stone by J.K. Rowling.
What is the plot? A boy finds out he's a wizard, and goes to a wizarding school. Stuff happens. You all know the plot!
First time, or rereading? Rereading it.
Why are you reading it? The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, pretty much. They're announcing the opening date, and details on the main ride tomorrow
What chapter are you on? Chapter Eight. The Potions Master.
Open your book to the page you're currently on, and write the first sentence (not including the chapter name). Snape was still ignoring Hermione's quivering hand.
How is it so far? Awesome of course. I haven't read it in ages/
What was the last book you read? Stoneheart by Charlie Fletcher.
What was the plot?'Deep in the City something had been woken, so old that people had been walking past it for centuries without giving it a second look...’
When George breaks the dragon's head outside the Natural History Museum he awakes an ancient power. This prehistoric beast, sentry-still for centuries, hunts him down with a terrifying wrath. And this is just the beginning... The taints and spits – statues with opposing natures – are warring forces; wreaking deadly havoc on the city landscape. The World War One gunner offers protection of sorts; and the wisdom of the Sphinx is legendary. But George and his companion Edie are trapped in a world of danger. And worse – they are quite alone. The rest of London is oblivious to their plight.
This epic adventure exposes forces long-layered in the fabric of London. After entering its richly original and breathtaking world, the city streets and skyline will never again seem the same!

First time, or reread? Reread it.
Why did you read it? There was a 4-5 month gap from when I first read this book, to when I read the sequels. There was a couple of things in those books that I didn't remember in the first, so I reread it. Too bad the one thing that confused me wasn't in the book at all -_-
If you still have the book, open it to a random page and post the best sentence. "A quietus, my dear boy, is a release, a discharge from the cares of life, a payment in full, as of a duty or a debt."
Did you enjoy it? I most certainly did. I'd love to take a tour of London to see all the statues in the books.
Do you have any idea what you're going to read next? I have three choices. Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets, if I can find it in the house. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, if I can fit it in my schoolbag. Kingdom Keepers Three, if it comes out by the time i'm finished with HP&TPS.
Why do you want to read it? HP&TCOS because i'm reading the first. TLS because I got it for christmas and haven't started it. KK3 because i've been anticipating this book since last April-ish.
