Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

My Dearest Bookworms, You know how I really love audio books? And how I also really love Hamilton, and by extension, Lin-Manuel Miranda? I’m actually considering writing an entire post on the subject because I haven’t been THIS fangirly since high school.

Thoughts on Revisiting Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Part 2

Hidey Ho, Bookworms! I simply cannot get enough of The Estella Society sponsored Potter Binge. Honestly, I’ve had so many great conversations with real life friends and coworkers as well as with the internet that I just want to bring y’all over for a nice warm butterbeer and some treacle tart.
