Alone Across the Arctic

Just read Alone Across the Arctic by Pam Flowers. It is phenomenal - about her 2500 mile journey across the Arctic from Alaska to Repulse Bay Canada - It took her 15 months! She raised sled dogs that became her family - she relies on them (Douggie) is the lead dog to guide the sled in white outs and when there isn't a path. There are lots of blizzards, delays and frustration as well as joy, wonder and triumphs. I couldn't put it down! What courage and determination to attempt and complete a feat like that. She based her adventure on an expedition done in 1925. Each of her dogs, who you meet personally in the book, has a special place in the team. Pam is going to be at Butterfly Books on Tuesday, April 1st at 6:00 pm. Don't miss meeting this extraordinary woman.

Who ends up with whom?

Brilliant question.

Jo really left

us hanging at

the end of book 6,

when

Harry broke

up with Ginny.

I mean,

what was he thinking?

And .....

Will Ron

ever tell Hermione

how he really feels about her?

I also think

that Nevelle

and Luna

would just be a

perfect match.

Will Hogwarts Reopen?

Will Hogwarts reopen?!????

We discussed this a few times at the bookstore, and none of us realized that Hogwarts had closed. We knew of course from reading and re-reading book 6, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, that Harry states that he is NOT returning for his last term.

Hogwarts closed- I just don't believe it. How will Harry talk to Dumbledore's picture in the headmaster's office? How will the teachers like McGonagal be able to help out? How will all of Harry's friends rally behind him to help?

Ok - so this question is just creating more and more questions for me!

How about you. What questions do you have? Do you think Hogwarts will close or reopen?

Is Snape Good or Evil?

Oh what a question!

Whether you like Snape

or not,

we think this will definately

be a major part of

Book #7,

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!

We took a little poll

here at the bookstore today

and

the majority of people

questioned think that

Snape is Good

What do you think?
