Harry Potter



Hey everyone so one name, two words, Harry Potter...Man, I love that character. I as many of you, I grew up reading about him. He was my one reason I looked forward to going to school. My third grade teacher first started reading the story to us. When she got busy she would just put on the audio recording of it. I came to love Harry's story and his journey. I absolutely love the Harry Potter books and movies, yes the movies are not perfectly like the book, but seldom things are. When the books and movies finally ended it was like the end of an era, except that now I get to enjoy it all over again when I read and watch the movies with my younger nieces and nephews. It's like a revival when they hear about Harry Potter for the first time. I don't care what movies Daniel Radcliffe stars in, to me he will always be Harry Potter the boy who lived.

 I have a treat for you fans of Harry Potter. I want you to know that there is this charming Etsy store called, The Nerd Boutique by Marilyn Marinn. She does custom Harry Potter stuff. I love her work, for a random surprise my fiancé gave me one of her fabulous creations. He got me a Harry Potter wallet. I've had it for about a year and I love it. A bonus is that it has stayed in good condition so far. It hasn't broken down shown signs of wear and tear. It's not only Harry Potter that this girl does, she also does art work in Alice in Wonderland, Lord of the Rings, the Wizard of Oz, The Chronicles of Narnia, Game of Thrones and many more. I don't know how she does it, but I love it and I'm sure many of you fans of any of these series will as well.https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheNerdBoutique/sold?page=11 here is the link. Also she makes wallets, shoes, purses, and flowers you should check her out for a cute creation.

Beautiful Addictions



 Erika, Erika my coworker has done it again! She once again came to me with a great book! I really need to go shopping with her when she goes to the bookstore. She chose Beautiful Addictions by Season Vining.
I want to say that cover was intriguingly beautiful and I love it. With that being said, I was impressed with the story. This is not your typical love story of boy next door romance or a billionaire hero who sweeps a damsel in distress but a story of REAL FLAWED characters.The story is about out mysterious Josie, a girl without a past. She doesn't know who she was before, she doesn't know where she came from. She endured being shuffled in and out of foster homes after being found without a memory, and she managed to escape those foster homes (where she suffered years of abuse). Now as an adult all she lives for is what her life is now. (which is living in the unknown, shrouded in mystery as she lurks in smoky bars engulfed in darkness and loses herself in her drawings.)  When she's not lost in bars and her drawings she's usually lost in 






But that's besides the point, she had a rough life at least what she remembers about it. She is not your typical heroine but she come out fighting for those she loves.Then there's the intriguing Tristan, the guy she quietly watches while he works. She cracks me up with her whole:




This book had it all from first love, second chances, sex, drugs, crime, depression and loss. I won't say more because it's definitely a book worth reading.
