Blown away (again)💥 🪄great sequel; same 3 protagonists, Potter, Weasley & Grainger; 1 summer wiser & the challenges a shade darker 🐍 ☠️
*
Grainger’s put on the back foot when she’s 1 of the 3 students to get petrified (& hospitalised!) – the lads take the lead in this “attempted assignation” mystery 🤷♀️
I can’t say murder mystery cos (thankfully!) no one actually dies 📸 🐈
*
Hermione’s dedication to research up to the moment she’s “caught off guard” leaves extra clues for Harry & Ron; it’s a lil bit of a whodunit! I love Hermione as much as she loves the school library 🙃 📚
*
Plot is def more complex 📖 – richer & chocker with more magic ⚠️ Several arch’s come together at the end 🤤 & NEW characters (like Dobby, the crazy lil’ House Elf! & Moaning Murtle the toilet 🚽 ghost 👻) add splashes of unexpected fresh colour to it all 💫 – from Tom Riddle’s magic diary 📔 (which appears empty but can actually write back to the holder!) to the screeching Mandrakes (plants!) saving lives & gigantic spiders 🕷️ & snakes 🐍 – you won’t be disappointed!
*
At the heart ♥️ is this tale of a “chamber of secrets” – supposedly existing within the school 🏫 Fear this term 😨 spreads fast when it seems the chamber is proved real & moreover has been “unlocked” – someone/something is on a “wishful” killing spree? References to “half bloods” & “pure bloods” steer the narrative; what wants to clear the school of kids who don’t come from a family of full blooded 🩸 Wizards & Witches??
*
Hierarchy, racism & indoctrination seep in, yet the book remains loyal to its roots; friendship, doing the right thing & “rules & rebellion” soar through the skies 🌌 🚘 💥 Another easy read… couldn’t put it down! Again, most will know the story already but any late comers please join me in my quest to read ALL the #harrypotterbooks 🌟 💫
*
#books #booklover #bookrecommendations #bookstagram
It’s taken me this long to discover the magic 🪄 of #harrypotter
*
May have missed the Potter boat as a kid ⛴️ But in my 30’s I’ve got a first class seat 🚂 on the Hogwarts express #peterpansyndrome #hooked 😂
*
3 young protagonists, Potter, Weasley & Grainger, 1st year students, drive the narrative… but this ain’t ya standard high school & they’re not your ordinary kids – #hogwartsofwitchcraftandwizardry
*
This is a fantasy book about Adventure, Courage, Morals & Witchcraft & Wizardry, of course! Not to mention a fierce focus on the power of Friendships & Loyalty. I love it!
*
There’s the “normal” world where Muggles (aka humans) operate; mostly based in London/Southern England – then there’s another dimension co-existing, where the “extraordinary” dwell 🧙♀️ 🦄 or get recruited…
*
The plot thickens as we discover a Dark Lord plagues the future existence of both places, ultimately – he who must not be named; Voldemort (created from the French words “flight of death”) craves power & isn’t afraid to abuse it.
Potter has a 😶🌫️ history which makes him famous & it involves the Dark Lord & skipping his own death ⚡️
*
Harry (& many others) weren’t always necessarily aware they were going to be whisked off to a “magic” school. Some kids who grew up in the world of magic, such as Ron, are a more prepared but it’s a huge learning curve ahead; beginning of a coming-of-age feel to it with the peer pressure & bullying too.
*
I love the trio, but it’s the teachers at the school who truly stand out; especially the headmaster, Dumbledore & the wonderful gamekeeper, Hagrid – my partner often calls me Hagrid on days I’m overdue a hair wash 🤔 😂
*
Rather than re-tell the plot (which so many likely already know!) I want to reiterate the pure genius of this writing ✍️ & encourage “non” Harry Potter fans to grab a copy & join me in reading the entire series!
*
Imagination 💭 & curiosity are on fire 🔥 in this page turner; moving staircases, talking chess pieces, spell-bound mirrors, pet owls 🦉 & more… so much more…
💥
A finely tuned plot & some deliciously complex characters #professorsnape left me hungry for the next book 📖 yum yum 😋 chocolate frogs 🐸
Oooh look 👀 out Queen Judith’s on one ☝️ 😂 & we all know how manipulative she can be… ☠️ so just sign the petition!
*
Another great reel 😜
*
But seriously, we need to come together to fix this mess #mecfs #longcovid – I talk about how lucky 🍀 I am to be improving myself after a nasty viral infection in 2018 but it’s my 5th year & even mild ME can be life altering so we must (we absolutely must!) do anything we can to help those suffering in silence; this petition takes seconds – seconds – to sign ✍️ 💥
Lorna is looking for a wedding 💒 venue & she’s drawn to an old Cornish mansion, “Black Rabbit Hall.” Rob (fiancé) ain’t so keen – “doesn’t even have a wedding licence” – disguising his logic as reasoning; the man’s gut’s screaming no 😱
Lorna, however, will not let go. She even returns to stay there alone & the question is, why?
#bookreview #bookstagram #bookrecommendations
Lorna, feels like she’s been here before… Perhaps she has? 👻
The only people inside are an old lady called Mrs Alton – an ancient black widow🕷️ desperate to keep the ruins afloat – & her helper, Dill, similar age to Lorna…
It all feels uneasy, perturbed… restless?
Like there’s an itch that needs to be scratched.
*
The story flicks back & forth between the past & present, sort of like a modern day light 💡 switch; very easy to keep up with.
⬆️
The chapters alternate between a young girl called Amber re-telling her “childhood” at Black Rabbit Hall & our protagonist Lorna (early 30’s) who is staying in the house 🏡 while she trials out the “bridal suite.” There is a surprising coming-of-age feel to it; but with the sudden death of Amber’s mother & later her baby brother, her teen years go dark quickly…
👻
Unprecedented twists & turns, skeletons in the closet & somewhere something raw (or rotting?) to be exposed.
*
Well developed characters of various ages & spectacular writing – poetic yet linear. LOVE this book 📖 Family toxicity, loyalty, blood vs water, mental health & death… once again grief poaches centre stage but within this novel plagued by great loss there’s something to be gained.

As heartbreaking as it is heartwarming; there’s ya warning! ❤️ 💔 ❤️🩹 A true story…
*
Medically retired marine, Rob Kuger (early 30’s) navigates the “ups & downs” of life with his co-pilot, Bella; beautiful chocolate Labrador 🧡 #coppereyes –
*
No easy way to say it, Bella has #cancer & is predicted only a few months to live. With a mesmerising zest for life Bella graciously proves the forecast wrong but sadly not the prognosis.
🐶 🧭 🗺️ 🚘
Rob takes Bella on a final impromptu road trip (of a lifetime!) & they travel across the USA 🇺🇸 coast to coast, in Ruthie – making memories & meeting some amazing people! Ruthie is the name of the 4Runner 🛻 💥 😉 & this book 📖 sparkles with their adventures!
*
Kuger opens up candidly about the loss of two of his siblings. His brother Mike & his sister Charity. Also, his Grandma. The concept of loss propels this tale with quite a viscous velocity, but the fuel ⛽️ powering the duo from a-b is love. Kuger mindfully acknowledges all he gains despite everything 💞
*
This is a story about quality of life, mental & physical health, suicide, finding one’s happiness & in the long run, finding home 🏡 #doglover #labrador #petportraitartist @felicityfranksportraits

#themarblecollector #bookreview
Zero hesitation recommending this 📖 🤍
Sabrina Boggs is a mum of 3 young boys & works in a care home 🏡 as a lifeguard 🏊♀️ with a deep appreciation for the pool. I empathise with her on that; I’ve loved swimming since I was little too. On her quest to “rejig” her Dad’s memory (Fergus Boggs, who has sadly had a stroke) the mission unexpectedly turns into A LOT MORE when she discovers his secret 🤫 marble collection… with some extremely expensive ones missing?
I’ve never collected marbles myself BUT *FUN FACT* when I mentioned this to a family member, they imminently confessed to owning hidden box of marbles 😳 How many of you lil’ tight-lipped Mibsters are out there?!
^
Of course, this isn’t “just” about marbles; although they do shine ✨ at the heart of it.
The key 🔑 concept is actually loss – & ergo rebirth.
And that’s what enticed me.
From the loss of Fergus’s memory; the stroke – to the tragic death of Fergus’s older brother; Hamish – including the omnipresent misplacement of oneself; loss of identity with kids/marriage/job – reduction, dissipation & erosion motors this story… But, also provides that magic 🪄 pathway for “finding” yaself again – & most importantly, recovery!
It’s the beauty of the “recouping” that strikes hard & ultimately drives this narrative. Behind the “marbles” there’s a moving tale of two brothers. Beyond that there’s a strong link to the apple 🍎 never falling too from its tree; with being true to yourself reiterated.
I give you my word that it is 💯 worth the read.
There’s humour, flashbacks, heartwarming & heart wrenching moments. It’s an all-rounder.
Like I said, I’ve never collected marbles, but I was absolutely hooked from start to finish. Might be one of my new fave reads💥
