Blurb in my Brain:

Guys, this shouldn't come as a shock to you, but I am a huge nerd. Well, maybe not huge, but I do have some nerdy tenancies. ANYWAY, part of this nerdiness made me want to start rereading the Harry Potter series after the last movie came out.

I'm just not ready to let go, you know? It's like, more than HALF of my life has consisted of reading Harry Potter, waiting for the books to come out, dressing up (I really only did that like twice) and waiting for the movies to come out, being mad about things in the movies, etc.

Anyway, so I set out to reread the books. This idea probably lasted about .05 seconds before I remembered that I really don't have a whole lot of free time. And then I downloaded the audiobooks.

Readers, this was the BEST DECISION EVER. Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to them on my way to and from work. And there are some many smaller things that I have completely forgotten, and revisiting some parts have made me slightly emotional (please ignore the crazy woman at that stop light who looks like she's about to cry with a poptart hanging out of her mouth at 8:30am).

Also, the audiobooks are read by Stephen Fry, who does a fantastic job (and even does voices) and I like that it's the original British version, so some of the words are different (Like calling the windshield a windscreen, love it!) So, if you've been thinking about listening to the books on audiotape, DO IT. I'm thinking that once I eventually finish Harry Potter, I may move on to got some of my other favorites on audiobook.
