What it's about:
The Good: Hey, it's J.K. Rowling. What's not to love? But to be serious for a moment, she does write fairytales in a believable, HCA and Brothers Grimm style. It has a fresh quality to it, even though it goes through timeless morals (at least, let's hope those morals are timeless by the time jetpacks are invented).
Girl's got skillz.
The Bad: Nothing I could see.
The Ugly: Nope. Nada. Unless you're totally into creating horcruxes. It's bad for you.
Summation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Now, to business. I have plans for this blog, including giveaways and a special award that involves cats and charities.
But.
I NEED your FEEDBACK. Leave suggestions for books (maybe I'll make some polls), or talk about what YOU liked about one of the books reviewed on here. And if we all play our cards right, the book fairy will make appearances.
Cool beans?
Just picture a plate of buttered green beans and give a digital thumbs up.
Ya did good. Byeeeeeeeeeeee.**
*Actually, not so much. The prices are NOT friendly.
**Random note: currently listening to the My Favorite Murder podcast. Aside from pottymouths, two ladies tastefully talk about true crime and chick stuff. Give it an ear.

What it's about:
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers’ attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Now, thanks to Hermione Granger’s new translation from the ancient
runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and
illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus
Dumbledore.
Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: “The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,” “The Fountain of Fair Fortune,” “The Warlock’s Hairy Heart,” “Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump,” and of course, “The Tale of the Three Brothers.” But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter."
