Hey guys! A quick post to ask for you lovely peoples assistance. There are roughly two months worth of topics upcoming on my weekly meme; Harry Potter Moment of the Week. I really want to make sure everyone is getting a chance to talk about what they really want with Potter so I'm opening this up to you guys too!
 
I'm looking for some new topics Potter related. It can be absolutely anything! Here's a link to what we've had in the past and if you guys want to go again on one we've done previously let me know. I'll also be brain storming alongside you guys so please let me know what you fancy! There's no limit, throw as many ideas as me as you want - the more the merrier!
 
Thanks guys and I look forward to seeing what we can all come up with :).

Harry Potter #74

This is a meme hosted by me here at my blog :).The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/ films/ J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! I will be picking a topic within HP for us to focus on each week and then if anyone wants to take part feel free! All I ask is to link back here, to my blog :). There is now a full list of the topics to come in the Harry Potter section of my blog here.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW + GIVEAWAY: Not Quite Perfect - Annie Lyons


Not Quite Perfect - Annie Lyons
Sometimes having it all isn’t enough…

Emma has everything she’s ever wanted. Her boyfriend’s just proposed and her career has finally taken off. And so what if her latest client just happens to be downright gorgeous? She’s getting married. Isn’t she?

Rachel’s married with 2.4 children (well, actually, 3) and life is all about trying to leave the house in a non-stained top. Once it was about skinny cappuccinos, cocktails and dynamic ad agency meetings. She wants her old life back, but can it ever be the same?

A sparkling, funny tale of two sisters and how often you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
*Received in exchange for an honest review*
*Thank you Carina*

HPM: Harry Potter Book Covers

Harry potter monthI'm a little late posting this post. It was supposed to be up on Monday but with working full time at the moment I haven't had a chance to squeeze much in. I really wanted to showcase as many covers as I could so I wanted to make sure I had enough time to get it all done! Today's post, as you may have guessed, is all about the various Harry Potter US and UK covers over the years. I'm going to share them all with you and then tell you which one is my favourite so far and why!
