Sisters!

I have a little sister named Kathryn. She is the best. She is on the high school dance team, drives my old car, sings ridiculously catchy songs all the time, and can't go from one part of the house to the other without doing a Grand Jeté or pirouetting.  We like to share clothes, we wish we could share shoes, and basically we just have fun together.

This collage pretty much sums up our friendship:

I love you sister!

So many pages...

Remember in my previous post (click here for the post) when I said one of my goals was to read straight through all seven Harry Potter books? Well, this won't come as a surprise to those of you who know what a crazy obsessed reader I am, but I did it! Yep- I read straight through all the Harry Potter books and it was amazing.


I started started reading the first book during the third week of July, and I finished the last book sometime during September (I also read The Lost Symbol sometime in there). I didn't keep track of the exact day I started and finished them, but that is ok because I wasn't aiming for any type of time limit.

Here are the stats:
  1. The Lost Symbol- 509 pages
  2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone- 309 pages
  3. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets- 341 pages
  4. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban-435 pages
  5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire-734 pages
  6. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix- 870 pages
  7. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince- 652 pages
  8. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- 759 pages
Altogether, I read 4,609 pages in about 9 weeks, for an average of 74 pages a day.I am a huge nerd so of course it was super fun, and now I am really sad that it is over. Oh well. Guess I will have to read them again ;)
