Welcome to my insane thoughts on the rest of the Harry Potter series. I’m so glad that you decided to click on the link and continue on my journey with this beloved series last year. Please remember that my thoughts are not without spoilers. Continue reading “The end of my time with Harry Potter”
Despite the fact that my friend Nicole tried to convince me for years to either read or watch Harry Potter, as many others have as well I don’t know how many times, I decided that they were not my thing. Continue reading “The beginning of my journey with Harry Potter”
Whenever I go to the library after work I find myself talking more in depth to the librarians. The good thing about the location I go to is that it is in the same building I work. So I tend to take suggestions from my librarians and I’m so glad I decided to pick up There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins.

I’ve always loved a good whodunit mystery regardless of the format. I have been mildly obsessed with them for some time now. I enjoy attempting to discover who committed each heinous crime. Continue reading “The Magpie Murders book review”
Let me start out by saying I attempted to watch The Strain television program when the show first aired on FX back in 2014. After three episodes I deleted the entire first season and never looked back on the program again. Continue reading “The Strain book review”
I was lucky enough back in September to finish two books in the same day. One audiobook and one hardcover book. Yes, Please was the audiobook I finished. And I can honestly say my cat, Oliver, was happier with the audiobook route so I could pet him/have him lay on me as I finished. Continue reading “Yes, Please book review”
Into the Water is my first read of Paula Hawkins as I have not read The Girl on the Train. However after reading Into the Water, I cannot wait to read her first book as well. My only regret is that I have already seen the film. Continue reading “Into the Water book review”

Thirty minutes less relaxing after a long day. At one point though my idea of relaxation was to read for fun.
A lot of people I have talked throughout the years say they quit reading around the same time. Part of that is that most of us had so much required reading that by the time we had free time we did not have the desire to pick up yet another book. Maybe that is part of it. Maybe reading is something that we are supposed to reconnect with over time. Last year one of my aunts asked me if I still read like I used to because her daughter does now. When asking this question she meant am I still the same girl who constantly had a book on her. Not an ebook, but a book. I would even bring books to family functions. If things grew dull among the adults I’d go off to my corner in whomever’s house and read. And as we can recall that was viewed as about 97% of the time as a child.
