As you know, Potterholics Annonymous is an avid supporter of literacy. We all think books are wonderful feats, providing everything from knowledge to insight to doors leading to other worlds entirely. I, myself, am a very hungry reader, eating up every word I can find. I love to analyze the books I read, research the authors, the time period in which a story takes place, the myth behind it, and the ideas that were planted in order to sprout these stories. I must confess that I have notebook upon notebook filled with notes that I never share. Sometimes it's just a quote or a reminder to look into something further, sometimes it's pages and pages of reflection, my feelings about what I've read, my opinions.<br /><br /><a href="http://officialpotterholicsannonymous.com/BooksAreMagykal.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x45/deputy_headmistress/BaMportkey.gif" border="0" align="right"></a> My <span style="font-style:italic;">Reading Journal</span>, a companion to <span style="font-style:italic;">Books Are Magykal</span>, is where I shall share with you my thoughts and comments for every book I read which is not included in the <span style="font-style:italic;">Books Are Magykal</span> selections. Keep reading below to find links to my journal entries. You can also use the portkey to the right to travel to <span style="font-style:italic;">Books Are Magykal</span> <br />and browse the reading selections found there. <br /><br />I am really looking forward to sharing this with you and I am hoping you're looking forward to reading it. Please feel free to comment back, e-mail me, or send me your own notes on the selections I post.<br /><br />~Astrid Celestia<br />"Not all who wander are aimless."<br /><br /><a href="mailto:phoenix_dragona@me.com">email Astrid</a><br /><br /><center>____________________________________________________________________</center><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">READING JOURNAL #2</span><br /><br /><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d1/ShadowPlaguebook.JPG/150px-ShadowPlaguebook.JPG" border="0" align="left" width="100px"> <center>My second <span style="font-style:italic;">Reading Journal</span> selection is <br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague</span></span> by Brandon Mull. <br />Click on the links below to read my journal entries regarding this book.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blurty.com/talkread.bml?journal=astrid_celestia&itemid=3129" target="_blank">GotSP journal entry 1</a><br /><a href="http://www.blurty.com/talkread.bml?journal=astrid_celestia&itemid=4112" target="_blank">GotSP journal entry 2</a><br /></center><br /><br /><center>____________________________________________________________________</center><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">READING JOURNAL #1</span><br /><br /><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3c/Book_jacket_of_Twilight.jpeg/200px-Book_jacket_of_Twilight.jpeg" border="0" align="left" width="100px"> <center>My first <span style="font-style:italic;">Reading Journal</span> selection is <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Twilight</span></span> by Stephenie Meyer. <br />Click on the links below to read my journal entries regarding this book.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blurty.com/talkread.bml?journal=astrid_celestia&itemid=1817" target="_blank">Twilight journal entry 1</a><br /><a href="http://www.blurty.com/talkread.bml?journal=astrid_celestia&itemid=2361" target="_blank">Twilight journal entry 2</a><br /><a href="http://www.blurty.com/talkread.bml?journal=astrid_celestia&itemid=2918" target="_blank">Twilight journal entry 3</a><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7423891352789478972-5124644452402543849?l=astrids-journal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maraudernoreply@blogger.com
