Thank you all for the very nice comments and letting me brag about my daughter. I don't usually talk much about my children but this topic was just too hard to resist. Each time I visit the Wishing Fountain I am reminded of her as this is just the type of room she would create in one of her stories.

I do love to read, and hopefully after my next surgery later this year, I will be able to concentrate again so I'm not reading the same line 15 times and putting myself to sleep in 15 minutes so I can start reading again. I love a lot of different types of books. I love a good suspense novel, true crime novels, historically accurate novels, and all the Harry Potter books.

I never knew about Harry Potter till my kids had to go to see the movies, so we went, to each one as they came out. I wanted to read the books, but each time a movie came out I would hear from the kids how disappointed they were about things left out that should have been in the movie so I refused to read them till after all the movies were finished. I'm glad I waited. I got to really enjoy each of the movies, I own all of them and watch them several times a year, and I read the full series, and read them at least once a year.

In 7th grade I found my mom's copy of "Gone With the Wind" and asked if I could read it. She didn't think I would ever finish it. It was 1020 pages long, and I read every page of it, and it only took me 3 weeks. I could have finished it sooner except it was during the school year and I had to go to school so I couldn't read during school hours. I owned the videos, and my sons bought me the special Blu-ray edition when it came out. My fur babies are even named Scarlett and Rhett. Diane
