Harry Potter 7 part 2

So now I have seen all the Harry Potter movies. This last one was very dark and intense. The most surprising character in this movie was Neville Longbottom! He really grew up! And he was brave!

I love the special effects in all the movies, but they were exceptional in this one! The fire, the giants, the death eaters, and especially the aging of the main characters. Very well done!

I am amazed at Snape's attitude and how his attitude shaped his actions all along. I guess a lost love can influence your entire life!

Now Potter mania is over and the next fad will be coming around soon. Wonder what it will be......

Shelter Me by Juliette Fay

Four months after Janie's husband dies, Janie is still overwhelmed by grief and anger. But one morning she is surprised by the unexpected arrival of a builder who was hired months earlier by her husband. He had wanted to surprise her with a covered porch. Throughout the construction of the porch, Janie clings to the familiar which includes mothering her two young children, avoiding family and friends, and stewing in a rage that she can't seem to shake. Many breach her self-imposed isolation to help her discover how to navigate her future with those who love her.

This book was very good! I think that some things happened a little sooner than I would think I would have allowed them to happen if it had been me. But, I couldn't put the book down!!

This is my Book Club's book for July. Can't wait to get together to discuss it!!
