Harry Potter Merch Haul

Hey Guys. How are you all doing on this fantastic Monday? For this weeks blog post I am going to show you guys all the Harry Potter merch I have collected over the last couple years and where I got them from. But first I want to know what houses your in? Leave a comment down bellow. I, myself am a slytherin.

Pins

Most of the pins I got from Hot Topic and the Hogwarts is my home pin I got from a subscription box.

Jewelry

This necklace came from a fandom of the month box

 Same with this one

 These wand necklaces I got off Amazon

Wearables (Clothes, Hats, etc.) 

Bookish Christmas gifts

With the holiday season coming up I thought I would share some bookish gift ideas that you can give someone or ideas to put on your christmas list.




This is the ultimate reading nook chair where you can store all your favourite books and have comfortable place to sit and read. This chair is really pricey ( just over $4,000) as it is made to order but if you have the kind of cash you can buy it off etsy.





If you just love the smell of old books but not the rotten, mildewy kind – the sweet, papery sort, then you have to get this candle. This soft, comforting scent makes you want to curl up in your favorite reading chair and leaf through stacks of worn, well-loved stories. You can buy the candle off etsy

Do you like reading in the bath but worried your book might get wet, then this bath caddy is for you. It has a perfect little stand to prop up your book while holding it securely. It also has a place to hold your drink. Now you can read in peace knowing you won't drop you book. You can buy this caddy off amazon.

What goes perfect with any book? A nice hot cup of coffee, hot chocolate or tea, which ever you prefer. What better way to enjoy a nice cup then this mug that expresses your one true love of reading. You can buy this book of etsy. 

Or if you are obsessed with coffee and Harry Potter like this girl, then enjoy your hot beverage out of this cute mug. You can get this mug off amazon.

A must-have accessory for every book lover. This binge-reading kit includes everything you need for your next read-a-thon: microfiber cloth for glasses or e-reader, decision coin, three bookmarks, ear plugs, lip balm, hand lotion, two coasters (2), “read & weep” facial tissues, reading light, facial cleansing towelettes, and thumb page holder. You can buy this kit off amazon.

Well I hope this post gave you some great gift ideas. Who I am kidding I bet some of these items are already in your personal shopping cart. Well maybe not the chair. Anyways I will see you guys next week.

Book tag

Hey guys, how are you all doing? It has been a stressful week, I have been doing lots of writing which is good. Any ways this week I will be answering a few book questions.




HOW MANY BOOKS ARE TOO MANY FOR A SERIES?

It all depends. I am the type of person who gets bored easily, so sometimes when I am in the middle of a series I get bored and what to read other books. It is the same for tv shows. I have a problem where I start a show then halfway through I find another series I want to watch and get bored of the old one. Then when I try to start the the old show again, I  forget what had already happen and I have to re watch from the start.

OLDEST BOOK YOU’VE READ BY PUBLICATION DATE?

Peter Pan by James Matthew Barrie. It was published in 1904. The movie was always one of my favourites and I didn't get a chance to read the book till I got a copy in my owl crate box one month.

FAVOURITE AUTHOR?

Sarah Dessen has always been one of my favourite authors. I even did a blog post about my fav and least fav sarah dessen books. I read books when I was in school but most of the I was forced to read so I didn't really get any enjoyment out of it. It wasn't till my cousin gave me a bunch of her hand me downs that included Sarah's book just listen that I fell in love with reading. 

A BOOK YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-READ

I have a lot of books that I like to re-read but some of my fav re-reads are Just Listen by Sarah Dessen or Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.

DO YOU READ A BOOK IN ONE SITTING OR OVER MULTIPLE DAYS?

Sometimes a book is so good you don't want to stop reading. Sometimes a book is so good that you never want it to end so you take your time reading so you can savour every last word. Sometimes the book is just too long to finish in one go.

DO YOU GET SICK WHILE READING IN THE CAR?

That is the best time to get some reading done. I would always been tons of books whenever my family would go on a road trip. Back when I took the city bus to get to school (I spent about 2 hours everyday on the bus) I would bring whatever book I was reading at the time.

Harry Potter or Twilight? Give 3 Reasons Why.

Back in the day when Twilight first came out everyone was talking about it. All my friends were reading it and my mom wanted to read it so she bought the whole series and we both became obsessed with the books and movie. And I know you guys are probably wonder but I was team Edward which is cringe looking back now. Like I bought an Edward charm bracelet which I still have somewhere. Now I realized that Jacob is the better and hotter choice. By the time I got to the last book, I had realized that the books weren't that great and I don't think I even finished it. But I did watch the rest of the movies just to finish the series.

As a kid I never really cared for the harry potter series. I had only seen the first two movies because  my grandma had it on vhs (I feel old I know). It wasn't till I was older and decided to give the book a chance that I feel in love with it.

WHAT IS THE THICKEST BOOK ON YOUR SHELF?

It by Stephen King is has 1138 pages. I have never read a Stephen King book before and I thought It would be a great place to start. I still haven't read it yet but I think that is because I dread reading that many pages.

Well that is all for this week, hope you guys enjoy the rest of your week and I will see you all later

   

Welcome back; the revival and whats new

Hey guys espresso patronum. I have decided to bring back this blog. This time I am writing by myself. I know it has been a while since I have last been on this blog and a lot has changed since then. I am currently in the works of my first novel and I will keep you up to date about when it comes out. Things are going to be a little different on this blog. I will still be writing similar posts to what I have written before on this blog but I will also be writing about my book writing journey.
