Welcome to Litsy!

Finished my cross stitch travel poster today while listening to Trunk Music by Michael Connelly. Not quite done with the book, but I wanted to show off my project. I've been working on it about 4 weeks. I still need to iron it, so it's a little wonky, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I'm going to start an Isla Nublar (Jurassic Park) travel poster next.

Beautiful day for tea and a book 📖 🍵 😊

I finished my PoA reread on an #audiowalk through a cool-looking neighbourhood.

I tried to start WE HUNT THE FLAME afterwards, but my mum called to tell me they might‘ve found a body in the abandoned golf course where I walk all the time. It was a bit hard to concentrate after that. Hopefully the police presence was down to something else.

Casey and I went on a longer #audiowalk this morning to take advantage of the relatively decent weather (by which I mean it was 12 instead of 1 or 2). Unfortunately, everything‘s still pretty goopy. We passed by a lot of snowfields—the curve of the ground hides most of a big one on the left of this picture—and navigated a few stretches where the path was still snowed over. Poor Casey got filthy from all the spongy grass, too. Sigh.

I promised Casey a sunset #audiowalk, and I delivered. He charged all over the neighborhood and sniffed EVERYTHING; I made some solid progress on my Harry Potter reread.

Finished this reread 😍

The one where Harry sees a grim. #scarathlon #teamslaughter

Of course I had to do this for the #grim prompt

As soon as I saw #grim listed on the #chillingphotochallenge, I immediately thought of my favorite HP book. They talk about the Grim a lot in this book. #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick

#ChillingPhotoChallenge #day10 #Grim I love movie Trelawney much more than the book one. Emma Thompson makes what is a very weak & annoying character, memorable & funny. #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 2points #PointsTotal-162

Just Reread. Knowing how the series ends, I still can‘t forgive Snape for his actions in this one... 🐀 🐶 🦌 🐺

These pop culture references are becoming clearer!

Been feeling depressed and sad over the last 24 hours due to the news cycle and was listening to HP and the Sacred Text and recalled this hope. It‘s helping.

#7days7covers #CoverCrush

Day 6.

Had to include Harry Potter 😝

Seven covers over a week. Tag whomever you please.

I cut my hair and colored it today, while finishing Chamber of Secrets and instantly starting Prisoner of Azkaban. I love this series so much! Maybe I can be a Weasley now!! #notamuggle #redrocks

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Finished the novel last night, watching the film today with my hubby 😍💕

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This novel marks the first of the middle three stories of the series that I love. All three of them are my absolute favourites.

I love Harry‘s friendship with Ron and Hermione, introduced to one of my favourite characters Remus Lupin and Harry‘s relationship with Sirius begins.

💕

One day, I will have this tattoo.

🤷🏻‍♀️

A perfect Saturday afternoon reading 💕

Genre: Fantasy/ Mystery
Started: August 19
Finished :
Why I Chose this: I chose this book after reading the first two books in the series and being intrigued in the concept
Summary: Harry Potter, a young wizard in training, is starting his third year at Hogwarts. As he starts another odd year at this school, he finds out the Sirius Black, a wizard gone bad, has escaped from Azkaban prison and is now after Harry to tie up Voldemort's loose ends.

As a teacher, this part of the year is the hardest. By the end of next week, I‘ll have almost 250 reports and exams to mark.

All I‘ve wanted to do every day coming home from work is to read but instead, I was so mentally and physically exhausted today I literally sat in the supermarket carpark for two hours with my groceries in the trunk and had a nana-nap.

FYI - I‘m reading a chapter before bed now 😁

Onto Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Finally finished Chamber of Secrets - definitely my least favourite of all the series by far!

Curling up under some warm blankets in bed with a well loved childhood favorite and my dog in the sweet, sweet silence that exists after the kiddo falls asleep but before the husband gets home from work are just some things that I absolutely love! #whatyoulove #selfimprovementsept @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620

Is it me or is the part where Harry thought he saw his dad saving him by conjuring a patronus is one of the saddest scenes? It reminded me of the part in 'The Time Traveler's Wife' when he realized his 'mentor' is his older self

I'm a bit late with this, but happy new school year at Hogwarts, everyone!!
I usually re-read my HP books almost every September, but this year I just can't find the time. Have some photos, though!
Which book is your favourite? Mine has always been The Prisoner of Azkaban and I love the illustrated edition!

Ok I need a book with grandparents present and a. Ook set mainly in the outdoors. What yall got?

I'm really loving challenges...bingos...readathons...all the stuff.. any going on for September?

August books ♡♡♡♡♡

I‘m onto Prisoner of Azkaban in my slow but steady read through of the French translations of the Harry Potter series! ⚡️

Thanks to @Lizpixie and @julesG for nudging me in the right direction to acquire one of the Knight Bus, Cara Kozik/Owlcrate exclusive mugs!!

I‘m so happy with it!! 💜💜💜

Whew start of day 3. Not even close to 24 hours but got a good 10 hours under my belt...

1. No way!
2. Both, but werewolves take preference
3. Thrillers
4. Don't watch them - Pan's Labyrinth & The Matrix were both too scary for me
5. ???

New #bookmail from a good friend across the pond! She‘s making sure I have the uk versions of the 20th Anniversary Harry Potter books! 😍📚💛🖤

#letstravelaugust For this one, I decided to pick a book I think would be good to read on a long #layover! This is my favorite Harry Potter book, and I‘ve read it several times

Prison Mike says the worst thing about #prison is the Dementors. So does Sirius Black!

THIS is where Harry Potter starts for me. It's the shift to a little more darkness, to Harry truly having to make some tough decisions, to him finding out what REALLY happened to his parents (those memories at the demontors' hands are so brutal and yet the only real memories he has of his parents in their last moments). (continued in comments)

Azkaban...not a place I would need to visit. 🤔

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
@OriginalCyn620

So excited I went ahead and signed up for my first swap!

1. Candy corn!! Even the pumpkins lol 🎃😂
2. I did more gory when I was younger, but now probably cute spooky
3. Nail polish and books/bookish stuff. Also anything wine related!
4. McGonagall, Hermione, Bellatrix (love-hate thing)...Snape and Dumbledore. Basically anything Harry Potter. I also like psychological horror, so monsters that may not be real.

Had to revisit Harry and company. Never get tired of these books.

Classic

Welcome to @Nancitalita @LitsyWelcomeWagon
Nancy, make your first post so we can welcome you!

I have now both re-read and re-watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets--I'm making slow but satisfactory progress in my goal to re-read the series (for the first time!). I've come to realize how much the films are tied up in my memories of the books. Because my boys have watched and re-watched the movies (and I've watched with them, of course), they often take precedence in my memory of the series. ⬇️
