#FRIDAYREADS

Welcome to the traditional Friday post.

I'm actually still reading Harry Potter, and this friday, I'm spending my time with the fifth book in the series, The Order of the Phoenix. I'm halfway through and I've been enjoying the book desperately so far. I mean, Minerva is absolutely destroying me, the Golden Trio is just pure gold, the Weasley twins are the loves of my life. I'm almost afraid to finish the book because I just know that something terrible's going to happen.

But honestly, I'm super excited to get to the part with Snape teaching Harry how to close his mind to Voldemort. (Please, just wish me luck, I'm going to need it to survive.)

So yes, I'm absolutely beyond joyous. It's brilliant. What about you guys? Have you read this book? Do you like it? What's your favourite book in the HP series? Share your feelings with me in the comments!

Hello!

As I had stated before, the weeks to come will be filled with Harry Potter for me; and this Friday I'm reading the fourth book in the series, The Goblet of Fire.

This book is absolutely perfect, you guys. I mean, how could it not be when there are dragons, right? But really. The Prisoner of Azkaban is like the breaking point where Harry goes from being a kid to having to be an adult, and in the Goblet of Fire, all of his childhood is gone completely. He's forced to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, he's got to deal with an awful lot of personal stuff, including being a dick to Ron and wanting to kind of protect Sirius from going back to Azkaban.

I cannot wait to finish the book, it's seriously perfect. And I love how Rowling's writing had  visibly improved throughout the series! By the way — yes, it feels really good to be using the Warner Brothers bookmark in the Harry Potter books.

Hello and welcome to another #fridayreads post!

As you know, I'm currently diving deep in the sea of the Harry Potter obsession. Today, I'm going to show you (and probably even finish reading) my most favourite part of the series, the third book. So say hi to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!

How amazing it is that my most favourite book has also one of the most beautiful covers I've ever seen?

I consider this book to be my most favourite because of lots of reasons, but there are two main ones: First, it introduces my favouirte person, Remus Lupin. Second, it introduces my favourite person, Sirius Black. These are almost reasons enough, huh? But there's also Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang. And my beloved Minerva being savage (seriously, book Minerva McGonagall is the best thing). And Fred and George. I'm just so emotional over this book, and I really want to finish it immediately but also don't want it to ever end.

I love it. I simply love it.

And what book is yours #fridayread this week?

#FRIDAYREADS

Hello witches and wizards!

Yes, that's right. This week's #fridayreads (just like, I guess, also the next week's and the week after that, and maybe like two other weeks after that) is dedicated to witchcraft and wizardry. More specifically, to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, book two of the Harry Potter series.

I'm finally reading this series. I cannot belive I had spent my whole life without doing so. I'm enjoying the series so much, sometimes I feel like I'm a child again. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to read this series when I was little, since no one in my family reads, so there was no one to introduce me to the magical world of Harry Potter at the right time. What a shame!

The story of the little wizard Harry Potter makes me unbelievably happy. The first book was just incredible, and I loved it with all my heart. And since I had known only the film version of the series until now, it's fascinating how many things from the film version started making more sense after reading the book. Beautiful. And speaking of beautiful - how amazing are the covers of this edition? It makes the reading even more fun!

I cannot wait what the book two has in store for me! Just like I cannot wait to read the next five beauties in the series, of course. What about you? I know I'm pretty much the last person in the world who hasn't read the series yet, so I'm really interested in your opinions and feelings about these books. Do you love them or yes? Who are your favourite characters and why is Umbridge your least favourite one? (I'm obviously trying to be funny here.) In which House are you? Tell me everything, I'm incredibly curious!

Hello my fellow bookworms!

I was inspired by quite a few of you and decided to start making my own #fridayreads posts. (Because I love oversharing on the Internet, obviously.) So I welcome you to my very first post where I'll show you what I'm currently reading.

This Friday, I'm enjoying the company of Mr Ken Kesey and his One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

This story of a tyrannical nurse in a mental hospital who rules the ward with strict rules and routine, and the reality of numbing pills and electric shock therapy, first published in 1962, is something I'm genuinely enjoying. (I'm also enjoying the very fact that Kesey starts this book with writing about his experience with psychoactive drugs. And the fact that he was connected with Mr Ginsberg and Mr Burroughs, who are my favourites.)

With the appearance of Mr McMurphy, the routine and regime in the hospital are disrupted. He resolves to do the exact opposite of what he's said to do. He's a trickster with a devilish grin and a passion for poker.

The story is told from the point of view of Chief Bromden, a half-Indian who claims to be deaf-and-dumb. He's describing the life in the mental hospital, and through him, Kesey shows us the line between sanity and madness.

I picked this book up in Waterstone's when I was in England, and I regret nothing. It's about a topic I'm desperately enjoying, the writing is absolutely incredible, not to mention how amazing are the doodles adorning the pages.

I'm really excited about reading this book, and I'm even more excited to read about your experience with this one. Have you read this book? What do you think about it? Did you enjoy it, or was it a disappointment for you?
