I did say I’ll try to recall the missing post so this is it:
It’s been a crazy two weeks at work (and it still is, as we’re minus two team members this week) so when I had the chance to blog last Thursday (sorry this should be two Thursdays ago now), I did a little […]

One of the things I love about the summer is the slew of blockbusters that Hollywood churns out for the season and this year is no exception.

This is by far the most enjoyable book in the Harry Potter series for me — I’ve read Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets and POAthus far — hence this individual post on it.
