The Secret

feature and follow: 5 + funny harry potter pictures

I hope you'll note the button I made. I wasn't too fond of the old one, haha :D For new readers, if you want to know how I do Feature and Follow Friday's, click here. Welcome and thank you so much for stopping by!

This week's question:

What drove you to start book-blogging in the first place?

Nothing drove me, really. I just started doing it, I didn't realise I could get "free books" or actually correspond with authors or meet so many new people. I fell into the book blogging habit and I've never gotten up. And I'm glad for it, haha :D



This post is pretty short, so I thought I'd add some funny pictures. Regular followers will know I love posting funny Harry Potter pictures. I don't curse though, these pictures do. Plus! I am not a twilight hater, I'm just not particularly fond of the books.

For some reason, I cracked up at this. I read it aloud in the same voice Daniel Radcliffe used in this scene, haha :D

Troll in the dungeon!
I feel terrible for hating Snape when all this time, he was truly good inside.
Lupin does have it pretty touch


And thus concludes this feature and follow friday! I hope you've enjoyed! Comment and I promise I'll visit your blog :D Happy blog hopping!

(PS: photo credit to those who made the photos! I don't know where they came from)

The 7 lessons are: The Most Beautiful of Theories, Quanta, The Architecture of the Cosmos, Particles, Grains of Space, Probability, time, and the heat of black holes, and Ourselves. The author, Carlo Rovelli, is a theoretical physicist who is one of the founders of the loop quantum gravity theory, which he explains "briefly" in one of the chapters. It is only when one truly understands a subject that one can condense it down to the most simple of explanations. Rovelli does just that in this orchestral non-textbook nove...
