Pottertastic Tuesday and Then Some

I must say, whlie I enjoy being able to read book after book to my heart's content, I do miss searching and being needed to find information. I decided to whet my librarian appetite by updating my iRead list on Facebook, only to have the application crap out on me after only an hour of adding books I wish to read. Lame. So, I will put a bunch of other blogger's lists that I wish to crawl through when the application is back up in this little post, so it is all together. Librarians are overly organized like that. It's how we roll.

ALA Notables

Jim's computer is quite slow and annoying me at the moment, so I suppose my list shall be tiny for now. Alas. Anyway, it is time to bring you the following Pottertastic Tuesday materials. In honor of my missing the duty of librarianship, I shall supply you with five interesting Harry Potter memorabelia finds that are just plain weird. First at bat is this ridiculous fleece blanket that is not complete without a giant picture of Daniel Radcliffe's face.How did Warner Browthers know that my bed is yearning for a larger than life image of Mr. Radcliffe? It's like they are mindreaders, for serious. Perhaps they know that I need something to match this Maurader's Map pillow that does not actually contain the map of Hogwarts. What good is a Maurader's Map without a freakin' map? And while I am in my new Pottertastic bedroom, if I should want to read my Harry Potter (Bloomsbury adult versions, please people--Scholastic is sooo last year) books, I'm clearly going to need a light by which to read. Everytime I just incanting "Lumos," nothing happens so, I must resort to eckeltricity. Fortunately, this Triwizard Cup lamp was made for this very purpose. Phew!

And when my eyes get too tired to keep reading, I can cuddle up with my very own plush Monster Book of Monsters. Because, you know, I might as well own a stuffed book since I like books so damned much.
And when I find myself yearning so much to be a student at Hogwarts, I can read my books by candlelight in this fancy Potter votive holder. Because that's cool.
