Carol's Book Quote of the Week


Quote of the Week



Tell me one last thing," said Harry. "Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
Dumbledore beamed at him, and his voice sounded loud and strong in Harry's ears even though the bright mist was descending again, obscuring his figure.
"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Sandy's Word of the Week

Here is my new word of the week folks. 

CACOPHONY  (kuh KOF uh nee) noun  a harsh discordance of sound;

We heard a cacophony of sirens from firetrucks and police cars.

I hope you post your new word of the week.  This will be fun.  Oh, just wanted everyone to know that Susan finished a new book but won't let me post the name and refuses to post it herself.  I bet most of you have  already guessed the name of the book!
