I did finish the book The Mystery of Harry Potter, A Catholic Family Guide by Nancy Carpentier Brown. Actually I finished it several days ago, but I hadn't had time to blog about it yet. The book was everything I had hoped for, and more.
You are welcome to read my short review at Amazon.

Catholic Family Expo Homeschool Day
Attending the homeschool day of the Catholic Family Expo was a real treat!
There were so many different talks being given at any one time that it was difficult to decide which one to attend. However, tapes were being made of each talk. I see that in the near future there will be order forms for the tapes (or CDs). (You can find information on this here.) So even if you don't live here or otherwise couldn't attend, you can hear the talks that you might be interested in.
But if you see that my name was on the program among the people talking about special needs, you won't want to order just to hear me give a talk, because I didn't give a speech, only a wee little introduction of myself (with a "you can do it" conclusion). If you do have a student with special needs, you might want to hear Tamar Hugoboom's inspiring, spiritual talk about teaching our children who have special needs.
As for me, I've thought about getting that tape, but I'm a bit afraid that if I hear myself, I will never speak in public again. But it was worth the anguished shyness to be there - rubbing shoulders with others who have been there too.
It was uplifting just to be there all day among all these wonderful people!

Happy Hearts Homeschooling Library
I'd like to encourage you to drop on over to Happy Hearts Homeschooling Library to find links to lots of free online books in the public domain. The beauty of seeing it at Alexandra's library blog is that you don't just look at dry lists. She hand-picks a book to feature in each post, and gives us a picture of the book cover, too. Enjoy.
Today
Today I am preparing for the homeschooling special needs session at the Catholic Family Expo's homeschool day that will be held in Baltimore tomorrow…er, would you believe trying to balance my checkbook? Hopefully, this won’t take too much longer. (How long does it take you to balance your checkbook? An hour? A day? Overnight? Two days and getting anxiety that this process will never end?)
Please pray for me. For tomorrow. For today…
Blogging will undoubtedly be light to none from now until at least Friday morning.
