So I found this tag over at Lau Reads and I couldn't resist doing it myself. Like most of us, I love Harry Potter and will just about always do a tag or quiz that is based off of it. So here we go! – What Hogwarts house are you in? Ravenclaw – What is … Continue reading Harry Potter Book Tag
Where did August go? Seriously, it started and now it's over. My reading plans for the month seem to have diminished as well. I had such a good plan for reading quite a few books before and during my vacation, but that's over too. Now I'm back to work and started my classes... so there … Continue reading Recent Reads [August 2017]
One of my reading goals this year was to reread the Harry Potter books before September first... and I DID IT!! Why September 1st? Why not give yourself the whole year? Come on, if you know Harry Potter at all, you know that this year, September 1st is the date of the epilogue in Deathly … Continue reading Harry Potter Book Challenge: Complete
It's getting close to the end of the month, and the alphabet for the A to Z Challenge! I'm excited that I've made it this far without missing a day of posting! I have to say, going by the alphabet has given me some good specks of content and it's helping me to be more … Continue reading Quotes I Love
Jellybeans are a nice treat around this time of year. I was recently at my eye doctor and kept grabbing some from the bowl while I was waiting to pay for my exam and new glasses. Then today I went on a search for the bag of all-black jellybeans and picked up some multi-colored ones for … Continue reading Jellybeans
If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Invisibility. Always invisibility. Why? Well, there are times that I'd like to be able to move around undetected (though I usually do anyway because I'm a ninja). Not for anything illegal, mind you, but to avoid certain circumstances or to not be bothered if I'm … Continue reading Invisibility
If you weren't aware, this week is the annual House Pride week. This was initially started on Pottermore a few years ago, and we Harry Potter fans like to keep it going each year (even if the website doesn't). I've been seeing my Instagram feed filled with plenty of house pride this week, and finally, … Continue reading Ravenclaw Pride Day
As much as I love delving into new books there's something about the familiarity of reading a book I've read before, especially if it's been a few years since I've picked the book up. Though I was planning on rereading a few books this year, I really want to now that I can add them … Continue reading 5 Books I Want to Reread This Year
Simply put, Cath is a fangirl. Well, more like an expert fangirl. While most 18-year olds would be out with their friends and probably getting into some trouble, Cath prefers to spend her time in the fantasy world of Simon Snow, writing her incredibly popular fan-fiction of the series, Carry On, Simon. Has she mentioned … Continue reading Fangirl [book review]
I'm not a big fan of Halloween, but I admit that dressing up can be fun... as long as the costume is within reason. I stopped dressing up and going out for Halloween when I was ten, but in recent years have dressed up either for work or handing out candy. This year, it's both. … Continue reading Halloween 2016
Let me start off by saying that it is completely obvious that J.K. Rowling did not write this book. Sure, she had some creative input on the story since they were dealing with her characters and all, but this felt nothing like reading any of the seven Harry Potter books. The most obvious reason this … Continue reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child [book review]
Harry Potter fans, our day is coming. Yesterday Warner Bros. released the trailer for the upcoming film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is about Newt Scamander and his adventure in New York concerning a briefcase full of dangerous magical creatures. The creatures escape the briefcase and threaten the relationships between magical beings and … Continue reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Trailer!
The great bookworm debate. It's actually a good one, and one that's hard for me to choose a side on. I grew up reading physical books, as most of us did. Out of all the different books I've read during my (almost) 25 years, my best memory of reading physical books was waiting for the newest … Continue reading Books vs. eBooks
