On-topic Post: A Harry Potter Update

It's been a little over a month since I started the Harry Potter challenge. These books seriously become more addicting the further along you go. To be clichéd, they are like ice-cream on a swelteringly hot day (it's a warm 45°C here). Currently reading Book 6, in the middle of Chapter 23 ('Horcruxes').

I've been a bit busy in the past few days (and still am), because I've been trying to arrange and finalise my university plans. That doesn't mean I haven't been reading. In fact, reading the series after a long day is like the best way to unwind. And I'm taking things slowly and leisurely, because, as you can guess, I DON'T want it to be over (it's just too epic).

So, anyway, I thought I'd introduce you to other people that have/are also recording their HP reading experiences online. If I've missed anyone out, let me know! :)

- The Last Muggle to Read Harry Potter
From the 'About' page:

What happens when a 20-something reads the Harry Potter series for the first time, years after everyone else?

This project began in July, 2009, with a copy of The Sorcerer's Stone and a few crazy predictions about where things were going. After seven books and hundreds of reactions, overreactions, wrong predictions, and the occassional right prediction, the series is over, but the craziness has just begun.

This blogger writes lively and entertaining articles about the books as she reads. She blogs about the movies too!

- Expecto Patronum!
A detailed, analytical and very interesting take on the books as the blogger re-reads them for the first time.

- Summer at Hogwarts at Loving Books
A series of review posts and interactive discussion posts starting from Book 1 all the way to Book 7. Very fun! Start here.

- Julia at The Competitive Bibliomaniac
Julia has *just* started her Harry Potter re-read challenge, so be sure to check in and read her updates! Start here.

- Mark Reads Harry Potter
A chapter-by-chapter analysis of the books, in an unconventional style.

-And lastly, Steph at Bella's Bookshelves wrote a post about her love of Harry Potter the same day I started the challenge, both of us not knowing at first it was HP's birthday (July 31st)! Pretty eerie. Read it here.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy!
