First Year Ends

Oh goodness, you guys I've finally got through the first book and sat down to blog about it. I actually finished reading it weeks ago, but sitting down to blog felt like too much...I'm busy preparing for the biggest retail event of my life, and it feels a little bit like getting ready to sit end of year exams. There's so much to do!

Week 10 Roundup

We are mid-way through August, which is the third month of our Harry Potter Challenge. Yesterday I posted the last review of Book 1 and this week I hope to review the first 3 chapters of Chamber of Secrets.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - A Retrospective

While not my favorite book of the series, Philosopher's Stone has a special place in my heart for obvious reasons - it is the story that first introduced us to the characters we all know and love. I read the book for the first time 15 years ago (where has the time gone?) and was very happy to see that it has stood the test of time.

How forbidden is the Forbidden Forest? and other problems with the end of Book 1

It's been almost two months since I actually finished reading this book and I have since then finished Chamber of Secrets also, but I would like to return to Book 1 and give my review of the last couple of chapters before reviewing the book as a whole.

Week 9 Roundup

I'm back from holiday! And happy to say that I managed to finish Chamber of Secrets last weekend and started on Prisoner of Azkaban on the plane today.

There isn't much else new for me to report, except to say that I look forward to getting back on track with the blogging and challenge!

Until next time,

Lucia
