I have never been a “book worm” nor did I ever have a time I fell in love with books… however, I did always dream of having children that loved reading and books… So much so in fact that at my first baby shower I asked that instead of cards that attendees bring a copy of a favorite children’s book to start a little library for our home. Skip ahead eleven years and two of my children are now avid readers and finished with the Harry Potter series, having LOVED them. Mission accomplished. Now, what?
When parenting and you find yourself traversing new waters, always surround yourself with wise people that have gone before you and ask a bazillion questions. Enter Mrs.Xerxes. My oldest has had her as a class day tutor for two separate years. She is an avid reader, and my daughter thinks she is the coolest adult around. 
(This might have something to do with the day she dedicated to her whole class to H.P. for the room full of Potterheads.) Awhile back, I started bugging her to compile a list of books for the post Harry Potter blues, and per usual, she delivered!
So, if you too are looking for what to read next, or where to point your kids for post-Harry Potter reading jump over here for the Celebrity Death Match.
You are welcome!
