Well, so I said I wasn’t going to wait to write this, and then I waited to write this. Over two months. I start reading book six tomorrow*. [loud moaning noise] (when fun things become chores) [loud moaning noise] *And then I waited almost two more weeks after writing that sentence. The thing is, it’s not the review writing, it’s the quote transcribing! Something I have learned about myself is I don’t like doing it! I’m not going to make any more promises. That way I won’t feel bad when I inevitably break them. – – – The villagers of […]

Yer Getting 75% More Plot in the Book than the Movie

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling

March 19, 2017 by Caitlin_D 6 Comments

This is the first Harry Potter book that is a new read for me, although I’ve seen the movie a dozen time, and it’s a much better story.
