I have to check out what that Revisiting Hogworths is about. Haven't heard of that one!
Liar is (still) on my TBR. I think this summer I'll have to do a whole lotta' reading once school is out!
Do you know that I never read a Harry Potter book? OMG, I can't believe I just said that out loud. lol
Have a great week, Aths :) Lynne's Book Reviews
I will have to read your review of Liar. Some people seem to love it and others seem to hate it. I don't know if it's one I'd like.
I hope you enjoy whatever you read this week.
Have a happy week.
I really like and respect Justine Larabalstier as a person and she can write. Does it get any better than that? :-)
