I just finished my first book for 2010 and realised I didn’t post my read book of 2009. Although I didn’t read that much, I picked good ones. Not all, of course, that would be inhuman but still….I did good overall.

What happens when an book loving angel and a car loving demon are friends instead of fiends? show spoiler
On Discworld live three witches, Granny, Nanny and Margrat. One day a baby is thrown into their laps and it happens that it is the son of the dead king. The king, murdered by the Duke, who wants to be ruler. Well, the Duchess want to be ruler actually: behind every good man, stands a better woman. Anyway, the witches decide to get the baby adopted by an actor and his wife, so he stays out of trouble until he is ready to rule as the new king. When everything goes awry with the Duke (the idea to burn down the whole forest amongst other things), the witches decide to speed up time about fifteen years. But is that the right decision?

This is the fifth book in the famous and by now classic story of Harry Potter the teenage wizard. “He-who-must-not-be-named” is back now for only a little while and the world already isn’t the same anymore. People fight a lot, Hogwarts is taken over by the Ministry of Magic (which is not a good thing), Harry Potter is being portrayed as a liar and last but not least “the order of the Phoenix” is being formed again after almost 16 years. So much for a quiet year.
