Hi Michelle,
Would love to join your Harry Potter Challenge. No blog at present – might just set up temporary page until dear one has finished mine. Just for now though sign me up as not having a blog.
thanks heaps Michelle

So, I think I did this right, but this is my first time using Mr. Linky and it also said to comment after you linked? Well, I thought I signed up and I did a post on my blog as well. Thanks for the challenge! I’m excited to get started.

Michelle:
Don’t be sorry! Yes, the first Mr. Linky is to sign up to participate. The Mr. Linky in this post is for you to link up any reviews or blog postings about the challenge during the month of August. I’ll be creating a new post each month for people to link up postings that way it doesn’t get too unruly.

Don’t know whether I Mr Linkied correctly lol (sorry) In the challenge Mr Linky I linked to my challenge post rather than my blog url so then in the Mr Linky for August I linked again to my challenge post. If you want to delete the one that is not linked to my blog url that’s cool and I will put it in correctly.

I think I’ve probably read the books about a million times, but why not one more?
I think I’ll discuss/keep track via Goodreads.

Hi, Michelle. Stumbled across this challenge while browsing around some other blogs. My own blog is new so I figured that taking on some challenges would be a good way to get the ball rolling. I signed Mr Linky and now I’m all geared up to get stuck into Philosopher’s Stone. =D

I’m so excited to take part in this challenge. Although the challenge might be pacing myself and not reading them all at once! Here’s my review of Book one:
