Good question. Maybe in some part they culture have an impact, but not a big one. Yes, I am also curious how they doors choose them - what trait should have and not to be in this particular world and not in another..?..

You know the ones that are on that huge pile of "I know I will read it someday" books."

Same!

How about 12th July, Jenny and Deanna?

Part II


(view spoiler)[Google Maps is coming to rescue. lol *I had to write that*
I love, love that they are traveling between words and the first one they visited was Nancy's world. I was really happy that Nancy is happy.
Creation of Confection - really interesting historical story of its creation. But I don't want to live in the candy world. (hide spoiler)]

I would like to read next book too :)

Sometime in mid-July?

Part I

I am already loving the book.

(view spoiler)[I love the diversity in characters, that they are all so different and that in this school it doesn't matter at all.
I like Cora, she is really likable. And Nadya is so Nadya.
Rini - falling from sky to turtle pound and not having any problems with being naked - girl have some courage. (hide spoiler)]

I am going to start is soon. Like I understand right now action takes place in school again *YEY for that*. Also, I would love to see a mix between school and someone's world.

Excited :D

Geri, What do you think about school? Characters? Mystery?

I really like the fact that all of them have some "cool or even weird" talent.

Chocolate should always be an answer to everything, right?!!
When chocolate didn't make day or mood happier than it was before :)

Chapter 1 - 7

(view spoiler)[First of all, Marge deserved being inflated - This makes me always so happy. She was crueler than Vernon and Petunia ever have been. Dudley should EAT less, like really... Parents what are you doing to your kid - KILLING!!

Knight Bus - I have always wanted to be a passenger - not safe, so what, it's fun and that what matters!!

Finally, they are having brilliant new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher as Remus Lupin. He finally teaches them something and also Harry in his free time with the dementors.

Also, Harry finds out who is Black and what he did so late, bc he never lets people tell him everything - he is just like "I know, I know" (hide spoiler)]

I love to reread HP over and over again. I always have home to return :)

Sarah wrote: "Elen, I loved the commentary from the first two Quidditch games! Can't wait for more :)

And I wonder what Sonia & crew have got in store for us with the Triwizard! "

Same!!

I am waiting on that too. I am sure Sonia and Mods have come up with something very interesting and maybe really tricky xD
So good that we almost finished our classes so we can concentrate on Triwizard Tournament :)

So glad there's someone else reading it now so I have someone to chat with!"

I am joining you too :)

Also, I would like to sign up to get a cute little rodent to follow me everywhere"

I would love to read more about the magic school too. Just school life will be awesome. :)

Me too!! I would love to have a little otak with me everywhere!

I am doing 2 BR right now and will start with 3rd BR tomorrow :)
*Happy dance* Extra points!!!

We are doing so good :)

Also, tomorrow starts 2nd Quidditch match, so my reading will slow down a little bit, like last time. Announcing is time-consuming, I was refreshing BR like crazy, but the game was so fun! :)

I started the book and I am 50% (15 chapters) done. I want to read, read and not stop, but it's too late here so I have to have some sleep.

I love the book, it's so smooth and well written that I just can't stop and want to read and find out everything.

(view spoiler)[I am really curious who really kidnapped and killed Ilsa and Dottie. And what happened to Alice, is she alive or dead??!!
Also, is Hayes death accident or murder - I feel that it's murder. And I hope that Stevie will find out everything - I really like to think that. (hide spoiler)]

I really like the idea of school: (view spoiler)[It's free for everyone - rich or pure - you are in. Also, getting into school without application, but with your talent and creativity, is worth a try. (hide spoiler)]

I agree about Hayes - (view spoiler)[he is the real jerk and he just thinks that he is high above everyone. (hide spoiler)]

I really like the past mystery and the present one too. And I have the feeling that they are somehow connected maybe??
