Ahh that's so awesome (and totally true - Harry Potter is the best)! I haven't even heard of the others, and that's saying something - I read a lot.

I guess the more significant thing about the latest HP book in the series being voted "Most Favorite Teen Book" -- is that it proves the HP series can now be considered as having successfully graduated from, or transcended its being identified as a children's book.

Awesome.  I don't know most of the others, though, which is saying something, because I read very, very extensively, if I can say so myself. | |

Now that sounds like an interesting book,  I have a wicked Aunt but I don't think those come with anything ... like volume control  *Ottery pushes the mute button*
I totally condone ignoring boring adults.
But yay Harry Potter ... it was the best of the books ... the R/Hr *Squeeeeeee* and the H/G FINALLY *Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* | |
