A Paltry Showing

*yawn*

You always know when I’ve had a busy day.  Not much time left for reporting.  Only three little teensy tiny links for you today.  Place them on your tongue and let them dissolve there for maximum succulence.

• Step right up, step right up!  Test your skill with this most DEATH defying of tasks.  Tell the Harry Potter story in 100 words or less and win yourself a big big prize.  Ladies and gentlemen it takes more than a steady hand to master this skill.  Impressive your friends!  Wow your neighbors!  Shame your enemies!  Thanks to Educating Alice for the link.

• Shh!  Speaking of Harry Potter, don’t tell anyone about any parties that might be coming up.  Listen to this:  "In the past few weeks, Warner’s London legal office has sent e-mails to booksellers and party organizers around the country, warning them against unauthorized celebrating, under the threat of legal action. ‘[Your event] appears to fall outside our guidelines,’ said one e-mail. ‘Therefore, HARRY POTTER cannot be used as a theme for your event.’."  Somebody go rustle up all the "inappropriate non-family-friendly" complaints you’ve heard over the years and send them to me immediately.  Otherwise I think we can categorize this subject under the title "Pure Undiluted Evil".  Thanks to ShelfTalker for the link.

• Fun Fact of the Day: The Island on Bird Street was turned into a film in 1997.  I was looking up info on the book and stumbled on info regarding the film.  Might be worth looking at.  Oh, Netflix…..
