I know it’s literally EOD Thursday, but shhh don’t tell anyone, but 3/5 of these books I’m actually halfway through in (I’m trying to finish all my books by OWLs okay!) So I think I can finish most of these by EOD Monday!

Since I read "Practical Magic" as part of my OWLs, I watched the movie last night (it& #39;s been years since I last saw it). And I hate to say it, but I think this is the rare instance where the movie was better then the book
