Oh I Could Not Even Imagine How Many Reviews There Have Been For This One....

 

SPOILERS,!SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

In my opinion if you haven't read they full Harry Potter series, do not read this book just yet. If you have never heard of Harry Potter or Hogwarts, please head to your local library and begin with (get the book series!) Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone

TITLE: Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

AUTHOR: J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, Jack Thorne

GENRE: Fiction

PUBLISHER: Pottermore Limited

PAGES: 320

Like so many other fans, I was super excited to hear about another Harry Potter book coming out. I ordered it for my Kindle, since it would be much easier for me to get it, so I could read it very quickly before  I could actually get the hardback delievered to me. I did not want anything to ruin my reading experience! Though the night I settled into my hotel bed to read a few pages, I passed right out-I did just spend the night dancing in paint.

Sooo, my overall feels is that is was very good. Great twists. I have to say, I really didn 't expect the story to turn out the way it did. Now Albus did get on my nerves. So annoying. He was headstrong and well, stupid. He is the reason the story is. 

It did seem awkward to read about Harry all grown up, but time marches on for everyone, right? He and his son bring a lot of negativy to the story. They are both struggling with their relationship with one another. Rough childhoods, like father, like son, I guess.

The trio, Hermione, Harry, and Ron come together again, but at times Ron was an afterthought? Definitely not the team they were in the series (but then again I haven't read the series in years) Similar to the series, it is ultimately is up to the kids to try and save the day.

I did enjoy this play. As much as Albus annoyed me, I have come to accept main characters I can't stand in a series. I am glad this story is out there, but I would prefer a new story about the Gryffindor trio again....

I give this a four out of five.

Before I Go To Bed...

So Stephenie Meyer has another book, The Chemist, coming out in November 15th of this year! Now I did not read her Twilight switcharoo thing she did for Twilight, but this one does peak my curiosity.

I went straight to my goodreads.com app and yes, I want to read this book!

Just In Time, and A Quick Revisit....

TITLE: Hogwarts Library; Quidditch Through The Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, The Tales of Beedle The Bard

AUTHOR: J.K. Rowling, Kennilworthy Whisp, Newt Scamander, and Beedle The Bard

GENRE: Fiction (as far as Muggles are concerned)

PUBLISHER: Arthur A. Levine Books

Pages: Total of 298

So the world and I and many other Harry Potter world lovers are gearing up for the release of The Cursed Child. I bought this library awhile ago and probably just read The Tale of the Three Brothers and did not really finish the other books. This weekend I did though and it is so nice to be in the wizarding world again.

Now this library could be read with having read the Harry Potter series, but I would suggest reading the series first. You would be less confused if you do it that way, plus I wouldn't say there are so much as spoilers, but things are better understood if  you what the remarks are referencing.

The titles pretty much explain what each volume is about. Of course The Tales of Beedle the Bard have the fairy tales so they are great little stories to read. Fantastic beasts talk about just that. The imagination the beasts come from always impress me. Of course learning the history of Quidditch.  As one of the most popular games played, how could you not want to learn it's history.

Reading these side stories just adds to this amazing work. I am definitely a fan and will be for forever!

I give this library a 5 out of 5.

OMG! I forgot about Book Crossing!

So I am volunteering at my local library and of course encouraging people to visit and use the library is the what we are trying to get people to do. While I have set up bookstands with free books and a reminder to visit, I found that people seem to enjoy the bookstands. This reminded me about bookcrossing.com I joined this site years ago. No, I haven't found any books out in the 'wild' but I will release 2 books tonight.

For those who have never heard of this site, what you do is: if either find a book, it will be labeled with a BCID number. You enter that number into the site and whoever released it will know the book has been found. Now you can register a book of yours and release it. The instructions for how to get the BCID on easy to follow and of course there is a FAQ page.

So if this interests you, try it. There is a google maps and you can see when and where people have released their books.

Happy Hunting!

Yes, The Times March On, But Is It Going To Fast?

TITLE: Visiting Tom
AUTHOR: Michael Perry
GENRE: Nonfiction
PUBLISHER: Harper Perennial
PAGES: 310


I picked this one up in my library and was drawn to the cover. I skimmed over the summary on the back and looked forward to reading about a guy's life on the farm. Not that I have much interest in living on a farm or being a farmer, but reading about the people who do could be pretty cool, I mean, this guy wrote a book about Tom. Tom must have had a pretty interesting life!

Well interesting in the fact that his property suffered with population growth. Bits of Tom's life were discussed of course through the book, but the author spoke a lot about his life and trials (nothing too major though...) so I am glad that I read it but I thought there would be more. 

Perry's thoughts about his life and family are sweet and remind me to think about the simple things and of course family. This book took me a few weeks to get through, mainly laziness, and letting other things get in the way, but also, it is not an exciting book. If you want a change of genre, to see how others live and like these 'memoirs' (is that the right word?) Then this is the book for you.


I give this a 3 out of 5.

Ok, ok presenting.....Book Videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know there is no point of having a blog if you do not blog! I will get back to this. Oddly and happily enough books are invading my world even more so! Here is one of the gems I found on youtube:
