    HARRY POTTER READING
    The final Harry Potter book hits the stores in less than two days -- have you ordered or reserved your copy yet? There are 1353 reserves in our library system on the Deathly Hallows -- and 275 copies being processed for release on Saturday.

    Waiting anxiously but not sure when you're going to get your copy? Looking for another great fantasy to read to pass the time? Here's a booklist you may want to consider -- and here are a few titles from that list:

    13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear — Walter Moers
    Cry of the IcemarkStuart Hill
    Dealing With DragonsPatricia Wrede
    EastEdith Pattou
    Golden CompassPhilip Pullman
    Plague of SorcerersMary Frances Zambreno
    Princess Bride — William Goldman
    So You Want to Be a Wizard?Diane Duane
    Dreamhunter DuetElizabeth Knox
    Dark is Rising SequenceSusan Cooper
    Chrestomanci SeriesDiana Wynn Jones

    Now, I'm not saying these are exact read-alikes to the Harry Potter series, but a few of them have definite similarities and others are just fantastic reads.
