Oh how funny!  I've been thinking for months about going to my parent's
house in Rochester and finding my Anne books which are boxed away in the
attic.  I didn't have room for them during college (small dorms) and they
were forgotten when I moved because I barely had room for ANYTHING in my
first apartment.  After several trips to Canada this past year I decided I
MUST get them back to re-read!  

For any Anne fans on the North American continent... if you ever go to
Toronto.. don't just go to Casa Loma (amazingly huge castle-like house)..
also go next door to Spadina.  One of the scenes from "Anne of Avonlea" was
shot in the Conservatory.  Plus, it's a lovely house.

I've also been finding more HP fans.  The latest one was the new reporter
for the newspaper in town.  I was talking books with him last night at the
City Council meeting and we both found out that we read into the wee hours
the 4th book as soon as it came out.  And believe me.. he doesn't strike me
as a fan of anything but serious novels about serious people and serious
topics.  *grins*  He did chastise me for not reading Agatha Christie when I
proclaimed myself a mystery lover *sighs*
