I needed a bit of a break from adult reading and decided to pick up an old favourite. I'll probably just reread here and there on nights I want a break from whatever book I'm reading at the time. It's such an old copy that it is called Philosopher's Stone and has 1 wand printed twice in the school list. I've read this series so many times it's ridiculous but here I am about to reread again 😆
W/ the entire family on vacation in Scotland, Peter was just hoping for some relaxing time on the beach. Then a maybe selkie is found dead, a mysterious panther is stalking sheep, & Abigail gets a crush. So business as usual.
Lots of fun, great humor, & fascinating world building, it feel like we skipped a book w/ the time jump. & there were just too many characters that felt incidental. & I did not get invested in Abigail‘s romance. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
I reread my (2nd hand) H. P. books, because I needed something familiar and comforting to accompany me through tough times. As much as I like the stories and some of the characters, I can only leave a negative review - not because of the plot holes/mistakes, but because I can't understand how someone can write characters/relationships like these and go on to spread so much hate, in a way that would make Voldemort proud. JKR deserves no support.
So much more going on in here than I remembered!
Nutt, firstly his entire existence, but also his actual identity.
How difficult it is to recognize your own worth, especially when fighting internalized and systematized prejudice, how you were raised as much as how people react to you in the present. 1/?

Another amazing installment from the Dresden files. This one was nonstop action, even for Harry Dresden. I also loved the new crop of side characters, who I hope will be recurring. Can‘t wait to pick up the next one!
