What’s the most popular book in your library? Have you read it? What did you think? How many users have it?
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone here. I think this will be a common answer; this book is #1 on LT with 37,356 owners. I have the rest of the Harry Potter series as well. And I have read and loved them, too. Not quite as much towards the end there, but I’m very appreciative of J.K. Rowling’s characters and world-building mainly. I’d love to live in Hogwarts even just for a few hours. I have friends who think that the plot is the draw, but not for me; I just want to exist there for a short while.
In fact, this post makes me nostalgic for a re-read. Maybe over Christmas when I’m in the same place as all those heavy hardcovers. And can I mention how irritated I am that we have to wait until next summer for a film that’s complete? I promised Keith he’d experience what he calls torture in November; he’s now thrilled that he has until July. So basically, I’m expecting to be a married woman before I see this movie! Hmph.
We have all of the Harry Potter books and I’ve read them, I just never thought to put them into my LT library. I guess I should add them. Wait! When are you getting married?
I was looking at the list and out of the top 50 books I have all but 7 of them. I think I am about the only person alive who hasn’t seen any of the H.P movies. And congrats on your upcoming marriage!
Let me add my congrats! I’d have the same answer, but I haven’t put HP on LT yet.
Congrats on your upcoming marriage! I’ve never read or seen Harry Potter, but it sure is popular.
I’ve heard a lot of people say they’d like to hang out at Hogwart’s for a while. Not when the bad guys are around I guess.
Looking at mid-July right now for our wedding, thanks all!
And I’d say Hogwarts without the bad guys would be ideal, yes. LOL.
My dad and niece loved the HP books, but although I’ve got them all (thanks Dad), niether my husband or I have read them yet!
Here’s my Thinger!

I feel the same way you do about the HP books – the plot is wonderful and fun, but it’s the world itself that draws me in. So delightful! And I like the characters too. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!
