This is one of my favorite books, one that I turn to for inspiration.

I love this collection of short stories. The first short (Homely Girl, A Life) is absolutely inspiring. It’s about rediscovering oneself.

I loved SS. It’s a brilliant start to a brilliant story. After reading it, I was hooked on Harry.

I enjoyed reading this book. It gave me a chance to follow up on my favorite characters and go through many more adventures. At this point, J.K was just giving us a taste of the brilliance to come.

This was another brilliant episode into Harry’s troubled life. We are observers to Harry’s trials with post-traumatic stress as he ascends into adolescence. Beautifully written.

This chapter in Harry’s life reads more like a thriller and an exciting voyage into hormones etc. Adventure, heartbreak and sadness. More uses for the invisibility cloak. Of course, you want to read on.

OOTP was the longest but I savored every page. More background info, a heartbreaking loss and one hopes a Harry Potter who has finally realized the dangers of his world and an inkling of what is to come.

I read Anne of Green Gables when I was 12 and have re-read it numerous times since. It was lovely then and still is today. A nice escape. My introduction to writing.

I loved King Lear. One of my favorites from the Bard.

Another fave from Shakespeare.
