Harry Potter Anniversary Week: Top 7 Characters

On By whitreadslitIn Book Tags, Books16 Comments

I was tagged by Margaret @ Weird Zeal to participate in this very special event! Every day for the next week, I will be posting a Harry Potter related post to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in the UK! Today is Day 3 – Top 7 Characters! Here is what Margaret had to say:

This year, on June 26th, will be 21 years since Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was published in the UK. And yes, 21 is kind of an awkward number, but I didn’t have a blog last year for the 20th anniversary, and I guess that mean the series can legally drink in the US, which means nothing because it’s British, but ANYWAYS.

I will be posting something Harry Potter related on the seven days leading up to June 26th, and I’m inviting you to join me!

The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara ~ 336 pages ~ published 6/19/18 by Sky Pony Press

Goodreads Synopsis:

A clever, romantic novel based on the true story of a girl who disguised herself as a boy to sail with the infamous pirates Anne Bonny and Calico Jack—and fell in love with Anne Bonny.

There’s no place for a girl in Mary’s world. Not in the home of her mum, desperately drunk and poor. Not in the household of her wealthy granny, where no girl can be named an heir. And certainly not in the arms of Nat, her childhood love who never knew her for who she was. As a sailor aboard a Caribbean merchant ship, Mary’s livelihood—and her safety—depends on her ability to disguise her gender.

May Subscription Box: OwlCrate

On By whitreadslitIn Subscription Boxes6 Comments

In May, I did receive two book subscription boxes. I got my box from OwlCrate, as always, because they are the best! I also got a box from Once Upon a Bookclub! Since I haven’t read the entire book yet, and you have to open the gifts in that particular box on specified pages of the book, I am going to be posting a separate blog on it. It will probably go up sometime next month.

So, today will be dedicated solely to the May OwlCrate box! Let’s get to the unboxing!!
