It is phenomenal - about her 2500 mile journey across the Arctic from Alaska to Repulse Bay Canada - It took her 15 months! She raised sled dogs that became her family - she relies on them (Douggie) is the lead dog to guide the sled in white outs and when there isn't a path. There are lots of blizzards, delays and frustration as well as joy, wonder and triumphs. I couldn't put it down! What courage and determination to attempt and complete a feat like that. She based her adventure on an expedition done in 1925. Each of her dogs, who you meet personally in the book, has a special place in the team. Pam is going to be at Butterfly Books on Tuesday, April 1st at 6:00 pm. Don't miss meeting this extraordinary woman.Butterfly Books Blogtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775390.post-69808444197319065172007-06-06T09:55:00.000-05:002007-06-06T10:05:38.580-05:00<a href="http://butterflybooks.com/blog/uploaded_images/dl_bookmark4-768771.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://butterflybooks.com/blog/uploaded_images/dl_bookmark4-768769.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc6600;">Brilliant question.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#ff6600;">Jo really left </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff6600;">us hanging at</span></div><div><span style="color:#ff6600;">the end of book 6, </span></div><div><span style="color:#006600;">when </span></div><div><span style="color:#006600;">Harry broke </span></div><div><span style="color:#006600;">up with Ginny.</span></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#990000;">I mean, </span></div><div><span style="color:#990000;">what was he thinking?</span></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span style="color:#3333ff;">And .....</span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">Will Ron </span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">ever tell Hermione </span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">how he really feels about her?</span></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">I also think </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">that Nevelle </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">and Luna </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">would just be a </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">perfect match.</span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span> </div><div></div><div></div><div>Stop by Butterfly Books </div><div>and pick up the latest</div><div>Harry Potter Collectable Bookmark from Scholastic.</div><div>Supplies are limited </div><div>and they are going fast!</div><div> </div><div></div><div><span style="color:#663366;">Also Mark your calendar</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;">The final Harry Potter Night </span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;">will be on the eve of the release of </span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;">Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;">Friday, July 20th </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc9933;">We will be partying </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc9933;">from 10pm to midnight. </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc9933;">Anyone with a preorder </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc9933;">can take their book home at </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc9933;">midnight. </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc9933;">I can't wait. </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc9933;">I plan to party </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc9933;">and then go home </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc9933;">and read, read, read!</span></div><div> </div><div></div><div><span style="color:#6600cc;">What do you think?</span> </div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;color:#6600cc;">Leave a comment, we would love to hear your ideas!</span></div>Butterfly Books Blogtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775390.post-13806146891178727142007-05-16T09:49:00.000-05:002007-05-16T10:10:35.667-05:00<a href="http://butterflybooks.com/blog/uploaded_images/dl_bookmark3-725599.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://butterflybooks.com/blog/uploaded_images/dl_bookmark3-725594.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;color:#993399;">Will Hogwarts reopen?!????</span></p><p>We discussed this a few times at the bookstore, and none of us realized that Hogwarts had closed.

How will Harry talk to Dumbledore's picture in the headmaster's office? How will the teachers like McGonagal be able to help out? How will all of Harry's friends rally behind him to help? </p><p>Ok - so this question is just creating more and more questions for me! </p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;">How about you.
