6. A 2018 Release You’ve Already Read & Recommend To Everyone (if applicable):
I'm not that special. I don't get advanced copies.
I felt the SAME WAY about EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING. The ending totally ruined the book for me. And, oh my goodness, you don't know how many times I've tried to take my 13yo into reading HP. He's just not having it. Maybe if the books weren't so chunky he would give it a try. So aggravating!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to look at the year past and the year ahead!
