Summer Reading Club

Shayna has been keeping track of her reading via the library's "Summer Reading Club." She has a list tacked to the wall that she records all the books she reads. So far she has read 15 books, including the 2 last books in the Harry Potter series.

I got the 6th Harry Potter book, "The Half Blood Prince" from the Bensalem library the day it came out. All three of us read it and there were 3 bookmarks in the book.

Now she decided to re-read all the Harry Potter books starting with book #1. She is enjoying finding all the little nuances you find when you reread a book after knowing the entire story.

Shayna was on the phone yesterday talking to her best friend, Nancy. Nancy so far has been, besides her friend Annie, the only girl her own age to be on her level because Shayna has always been so advanced. Nancy is also the type who will read a book like Harry Potter in 2 days. They started discussing re-reading the series. Nancy must have said to Shayna that she is re-reading the books but going backwards from Book 6 to Book 1. Then Shayna said "are you going to read it from the last page back to the first...like "PERIOD. YrraH..." Then they giggled.
