Jacksprat Gets Lost in Fiction

I didn't mean to post the Buffy photo, but I don't know how to remove it.

Book: Prisoner of Azkaban Chapter: Cat, Rat, and Dog Page #: 332 Professor Trelawney is full of crap, but I like how despite that she's the one who predicted Pettigrew returning to Lord Voldemort I'm with Hermione by Divination Poor Hermione, though, she had good intentions, but Ron and Harry turned on her.  She cares about Harry like a sister.  I do get their anger to an extent, though. This book was a turning point for her character with punching Draco and dropping out of Divination.  Not a huge turning point. Love Harry's relationship with Lupin. Favorite scene is in the chapter Snape's Grudge when he's trying to read the map and it insults.  I know, I know to Snape lover its mean and bullying, but not going to lie.  It makes me laugh and I don't think I should be judged for that. I also love the part coming up, but I'll talk about it in my next blog.

It's been so long since I have read the Harry Potter series, but there are the movies so I remember it better than most series that I have not read in a while.  I have read the first two and almost done with the third, which was originally my favorite and the one that is coming out of its binding.  It introduced two of my favorite characters: Lupin and Sirius.   I hate how Ron's character is altered to make Hermione like "the perfect version" of herself in the movies.  Ron's not as dumb or the comic relief the books make him out to be in the movies.  There's some details I wish had been put in movies, but couldn't be because of time.  I so want either a Phoenix or a Hippogriff for a pet! Book: Prisoner of Azkaban Page #: 318

Top 5 Love/Hate Ships             This topic seems to have confused people, but I had assumed it was love/hate ships:   Couples that can’t stand each other at first, but have a slow burn romance, so that is what I am going with.   Top 5 Wednesday was created by Ginger Reads Lainey and now hosted by Sam from Thoughts on Tomes.   Goodreads Group: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/118368-top-5-wednesday 1.      John Thornton and Margaret Hale from Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South.   This story is very similar to Pride and Prejudice in its themes, but instead of class differences we are looking at different lifestyles and where people live.   Margaret is a woman from the South of England, Helstone, and Thornton is from the city of Milton.   He is a self-made man, who manages a factory, and she is the daughter of a former minister who believes in the power of books.   The...

Top Five Wednesday: Favorite Side Ships My top favorite book coupling that’s not with the protagonist. 1.     Genya and David from The Grisha trilogy.   I have always enjoyed watching and reading about couples where the pretty girl is in love with the nerdy scientist who is socially awkward.   Genya is a Grisha and one of her powers is to alter your physical appearance, and David is a Grisha who only understands metal.   It’s when Genya is seriously injured by the Darkling and there’s a war going on, and when Genya accuses him of only noticing her because she’s not beautiful anymore, that’s when he kisses her for the first.   They had so cute together, and I like how it’s the beautiful who’s in love with the nerdy guy, not the other way around. 2.     Giles and Jenny from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.    It was so sad what happened to Jenny first time, and I wished this couple had more screen time.   This is another...
