OK - here goes....

When my Mum was over fron England (home) this last fall, we were in a
book store together (you can tell this runs in families, my mum prefers to
shop for books than clothes!), and she saw the Harry Potter display. She
mentioned that it was THE big hit in the UK, and she'd heard they were
really good - she works in a school for kids with severe disabilities,
and the teacher of her calss had read some aloud to the kids (great
reaction by the way)... We passed by the display and carried on looking.

So, this year, when I was looking for things to read on the plane on
my way over to see my family. I saw the books again and thought it
was worth a try. Well, by the time we landed in London, I was hooked -
I stopped on the way back to the house and picked up the remaining two!

Been hooked ever since... wow, I've just found a way to make a short
story really long!
