So, it's been a full 3 months since we last posted and a lot has happened in that time. First of all, Happy New Year everyone!
Corrie and I originally set out to review the Harry Potter series book by book, hoping to dedicate just one month per volume. This turned out to be not so easy - I honestly completely underestimated just how much time and effort goes into not only reading and analyzing a text, but also writing about it! Plus, I underestimated just how much we still had to say about the books we've read and discussed so many times before.
The seven months came and went and we're not even through Book 2. This is slightly disappointing, I'm not gonna lie, but I don't want it to drag us down. We may have failed in meeting our own deadline, but I think we succeeded in looking at the books critically.
I, for one, hope to continue writing about Harry Potter. I will hold off of making any promises as to how long it will take. Things in both of our lives are pretty busy and up in the air, so I can't guarantee that we will be updating the blog regularly - but we will be updating.
I think it's also probable that not all of the posts will be Harry Potter related. We are reading other books, as well, and hope to analyze those also - just not as in depth as with the Harry Potter series! At least, not yet... For example, I have recently re-discovered Outlander (or Cross Stitch, in the UK) by Diana Gabaldon and am also trying to make my way through War and Peace.
Finally, thank you to any readers who are still following this blog. We hope to have new posts for you soon!
Until next time,
Lucia
