On December 23, 1776 Thomas Paine said,
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls.”
It was the heart of the American Revolutionary War and, as Bob Dylan might have said, these times, they were a-changin’.

Voices Soft, Words Inviting: Going Digital Won’t Be the Death of Print
My books 
“And their voices were soft,
And their words inviting…I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die…”
- Les Misérables
I love books.
I blog about them and I think words are these powerful objects that make the world turn around and around.
When I blogged about the e-book being the death of print, a little piece of me died inside. When I tweeted and tweeted about how amazing the new Nook from Barnes & Noble was looking, a little bit more of me died inside and then I read “Beyond Borders: The Future Of Bookselling†and I felt like I got a little bit of my own back.
I concur; I support; I most certainly agree – shopping for books is like shopping for a good husband or that snug fitting dress to make the opposite sex’s jaw drop. It takes time, patience, concentration and yes, you’ll know it when [Read more...]

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’s DVD Deleted Scenes More Like Novel
In a deleted scene from the sixth Harry Potter film installment, Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince, released by the WB Italy, audiences get a deeper glimpse into the calm before the storm that is the first Battle of Hogwarts.

I got goosebumps [Read more...]
Harry Potterween & Harrietta Potter :)
Hey y’all
So, if you have been following my tweets and Facebook status messages, you know that I was Harrietta Potter this past Halloween. But since I don’t really ‘celebrate’ Halloween, I’ve renamed it Harry Potterween…instead of Harvest! etc. Mostly because it gives me an excuse to dress up like the characters in my favourite book series ever!
I hope you had a safe October 31 with lots of candy!
Ah well, you can see my costume [Read more...]

{Tickled Pink} Don’t Dream It’s Over…
Salazar Slytherin's locket, and cover of the UK adult version of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows. A few jewelry making Potter fans, have made replicas of this piece.
“It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.”
- Albus Dumbledore to Harry Potter in Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling.
