This is my very first post on here and I thought after being on here for over a year it was high time I finally made a post. When I first picked up the book I thought it was going to be like Harry Potter. I had read the Harry Potter books and was sure they would be just like them but I think they are much better. I have not yet read all of them but I have read a few.

I went through a whole chain of reactions. The title was so straight-forward. SYWTBAW

all my life i lied whiches and wizards. then i saw that book i just started readind the series.

Hi, I'm new. I was interested in wizard/fantisy books(I still am ) when i picked it up. I was told by a friend that it was stupid and wanted to see for myself..... i'm glad i don't trust her opinion!

But it's "witches"! - Peter

im soo happy that this topic went somewhere i didnt think it would be more than a few posts but lim happy i was wrong!!! oh well. lets see i dont think i said what i thought when i looked at the other books. when i picked them up i look at the cover then read the summary. i normally 'judge a book by its cover' so sad. but that means the cover was good. lol.

now what would happen if they turned the series into a video game and/or movie.

My mom reccommended it to me- I guess she liked them too. I read them maybe before Harry Potter and don't remember my reaction to the cover. Later my sister brought home Deep Wizardry and I started rereading the series. That was when I found the site, I think.

I read Harry Potter before I read YW. I found it at the library. I saw the title of So You Want To Be A Wizard and I was like, what? I am into fiction and stuff, so I was drawn in. Then I found out they were a series (which I was hoping for) and now i've read them all!

if ONLY i had known of the site during the first book. would have been SOOOOOOOOOO much easier to find the next book in that case...but alas, it wasn't until i was bringing one of the books home a couple of years later that i happened to see the website half hidden under the library tag. and it took a while to read it through that thing too!

[wizy123]

ya you notice that? the library always seems to cover the good stuff up with the darn tags???
i had to literally hunt to find stuff the library had hidden

[moon14]

I totally hate library tags! they have annoyed me for years.

[nita2011]

Sorry?? A TAG??? DO all yall mean the bar code???? Just curious. So, yah...I really hate it when the bar codes cover up the description of the book. Or, when I have been in the school librery for 20 miniuts, and they say I have to stay in the lunch room for at least 10 miniuts, and kick me out. THAT IS SO MEAN!!! I have also spent so much time in the public library, and the neerest book store, (five houres at the library, six at the store, WHAT?? I had been at a movie, and I never had planed a ride back, so I just stayed at the book store across the street and read untill my mom left her work meeting and gotr back.) The finaly kicked me out. Also, I was in Boston, and our hotell was NEXT DOOR to thelibrary. I was SOOOO mad when my mom would not let me go into the library. I litteraly protested by not taking my meds.That was bad, asI fainted from lack of 240.5 milligrams of anti-depressants and anti-psychotics in one day. My body had withdrawls.

[moon14]

Wow, that's a story. Yes, sorry nita2011, we mean bar codes. I do anyway.
