Why I love Harry Potter.
As a few of you might know I am a big Harry Potter fan! Like many other people who grew up in the nineties I read the Harry Potter books as they came out, yes I know 20 YEARS AGO! Harry Potter was something throughout my life that was a constant. It was a place where I could curl up with a good book and forget all about school, family, friends and the rest that comes with being a teenager. As it is the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter coming out the publishers have decided to release all the books as they came out on the same date but with…

Short post about Goodreads (2018)
This post is a short reply to Zoe Collins’ booktube video about Goodreads. I agree with Zoe’s comments about book bloggers and readers alike. This is especially true for people who don’t read as much as others, Goodreads can be demoralising to use. Goodreads is a site where you can record your reading throughout the year. It is a site which is good for when you want to remember what you have read, want to read and how much you have already read Also you can see your “friends” progress throughout the year. It is very competitive but in general, as an adult, I have chosen not to judge myself against others.…

Libraries in 2018 (part 2)
I think this is an interesting topic. Do you use your library? As you might know, if you have been following my blog I volunteer at my local library. Some days I can’t wait to get home and other days I enjoy my time there. This is part 2 of my “series” talking about Libraries. Part 1 is here! In the library, there are many things to do and it keeps you busy. There is looking for books and giving our books out to lend and keeping our costumers happy. The library is so useful for people with a low income as they can borrow books for 3 weeks at…

It is the section for those of us who want to gather new knowledge. In the library there is the Fiction section. This is where the…

[FILM REVIEW] The Mummy Returns (2001)
This is my review about the film The Mummy Returns – a sequel to The Mummy (1999). Although this film is not perfect, it is a good comedy which all the family will enjoy! Why not buy this film from Amazon Prime (UK)Â (Disclaimer: this is an affliate link). So what happens in the first 10 minutes? This film starts out as a battle between Dwayne Johnson (The Rock)’s character who is known at the Scorpion King. It shows his long walk through the desert and his semi-psychosis while his army tries to take over an Egyptian settlement. Flash forward to “modern” Egypt & hello Brendon Fraser! We know we are…
