Going through belongings in preparation for moving next month, trying to slim down since I will be taking three years worth of apartment filler to...basically one room, and I'd like to avoid renting storage. Here is a brief list of books that I will be selling or giving away, but I thought I'd let y'all have first pick. All books are in good shape ( Read more... )

Was lucky enough to get a copy of OotP in mp3 form and listen to it while I'm at the gym. Had a few thoughts about two scenes in particular ( Read more... )

Am finally taking a break to read HP fic after a two or three day hiatus finishing ( Read more... )
