#1: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

This first book I read this year is actually half of a book, but as any of you other Harry Potter fans know,  half of one of JK Rowling's books is the same as any other entire book (it might even be longer, to be honest).  I just had to re-read the second half of The Deathly Hallows after seeing the first half of the movie.  I simply couldn't remember some of the details and events, so I set off to re-read.  After finishing it for the second time, I could recall the sadness I felt after finishing it the first time.  I hate so much that this series of books is over.  I will miss reading about Ron, Harry, and Hermione.  However, I was so very glad that JK Rowling gave all of us a glimpse into the future lives of these characters that have become part of our lives and culture over the past 10 years.  Knowing what happened to them beyond the series made the disappointment a bit more bearable, but not much.  If you haven't read these books, you really should.  Not just if you are a kid--adults should read them, too.  They are worth every second you will spend reading them.
