Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

As I'm sure you've all guessed, all other reading stopped in the days leading up to the release of Deathly Hallows. I needed to refresh my brain on the last few books and ponder all the questions I wanted answered in DH.

Then I read the book over the weekend in a page turning fit. I forced myself to stop and sleep and then to go for a run before the huge battle of Hogwart's.

I loved the book. I have many thoughts but I don't quite know where to begin.

In progress: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life

This one is interesting but a little preachy. The woman (author Barbara Kingsolver) and her family are trying to eat only local foods for one year. She's trying to support the local economy and cut down on the fossil fues wasted in the transport of "exotic" food.

I'm really only getting into the real story - they've only just begun their quest - but I have had to laugh a few times when she mocks kids for not wanting to eat things that have touched dirt. I'm totally like that!
