I'm currently half-way through:



A very enjoyable read. I've been trying to find a book that appeals to me for a quite a while now, after starting quite a few and not wanting to continue. This is right up my street though. Loving it so far

Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone - 9/10

Ahh good old memories reading this, I forgot some of the things that wasn't shown on the film so it felt good to read it again. Can't wait to re-read The Chamber of Secrets.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 9.5/10

Out of the first three books, Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite. Interesting throughout. Now i finished re-reading the books I actually read, I can begin reading Harry Potter 4-7 I've never read them before only 1-3.

I have only vaguely watched the film, Ammi...but from what I know there is definitely an essence of the film in the book. It's strange because I didn't know there was a sequel, but I have already bought it and will be reading it shortly after I read the last two chapters of the first. I think the film is spread between those two books and 'the best parts' were chosen from them and then adapted to the film.

I definitely, definitely do not imagine Merly Streep playing Miranda though, which is quite odd I find Emily to be quite different in the books too, and Andy's friend is a lot more relevant (I think...I'm quite hazy in remembering the film ).

I'm on my 4th Stephen King book, 11/22/63. Started it yesterday and I'M IN LOVE so far. If you ever read his novel IT, I highly recommend this one.
