J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows
It’s over! I actually can’t believe there’s no more left. I’ve been on a rollercoaster of emotions over the last week, with way more lows than highs, but the final high being the best one of all. Be warned that this review contains many, many spoilers, so if you’ve not read the book, I advise

Nicola May – Star Fish
I’ve read a few other Nicola May books before and I’ve had a bit of a mixed bag really, loving a couple of them, and not really getting along with the others. This is the last one that I had left to read on my Kindle, so I was curious to see which camp this
-
Shannon Hale – Austenland
I guess that first I should admit that I started this book with very low expectations. After the last Austen-adaptation that I read (Death comes to Pemberley), I was expecting this one to be just as terrible. But actually, it was rather good. The story revolves around a woman called Jane, living in New York,

J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince
The first time I read this book, someone (not mentioning any names) spoilt the end for me before I’d even started, which annoyed me so much. You’ll know why if you’ve read this, but just in case I’ll try not to spoil it for you. I’ve only actually read this book once before, although I’ve

Lewis Carroll – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Yet again, I forgot to bring Harry Potter to work with me. But it did mean that I have now had the opportunity to re-read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I remember reading it many times when I was younger, I had a very small hardback book with a pink cover on, which I think must

HM2014: Day 8
Well I finally feel like I’m on the mend, so hopefully by the weekend I will be back on form. Busy day at work today so I didn’t have chance to get out at lunch for a walk. Once I’m feeling back to normal, I’ll be back at it with all guns blazing. Stats for

Review: A.R. Wise – 314
I hadn’t really intended on reading this book, but I forgot to take Harry Potter to work with me today, so I downloaded a free kindle book to kill the time before work and my lunch break. I didn’t think I’d finish it, but I think it was only 200 pages, so it was gone

HM2014: Day 7
Eurghhh. Feeling rubbish again today, although I had to go back to work for meetings. My step count was slightly higher than yesterday, but I still felt too rubbish for pushing myself hard for an hour with my maracattack. I really hope I’m feeling better soon, or I’m going to go mad! Stats for today

HM2014: Day 6
Well I was off work ill today and spent most of the day lying in bed, so I didn’t get much walking done at all, or my fitness DVD. Hopefully I’ll be feeling better tomorrow so I can get off my ass again, I feel terrible not doing anything but I’ve got no energy for

J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix
When I updated my Goodreads status to say I was reading this book, there were a lot of reviews saying that this book was their least favourite of the HP series, but I disagree whole-heartedly. There’s A LOT that goes on in this book (and not just because it’s 766 pages long). The Ministry doesn’t

HM2014: Day 5
I woke up this morning feeling even more rubbish than yesterday, so I knew I wouldn’t be doing my DVD. But I managed to stick to my diet plan, which is something of a success, so hopefully I will be feeling better tomorrow! Stats for today Calories eaten: 1,320 Calories burned: 2,793 Steps taken: 3,721

Brimham Rocks: 5th January 2014
As I mentioned in my post yesterday, we went for a rather cold walk around Brimham Rocks, a National Trust property in North Yorkshire, near Ripon. Cameron had never been there before, but I went many many times when I was younger. It was a fab afternoon scrambling up and down the smaller rocks, although
-
HM2014: Day 4
Well today I went from feeling a little tickle in my nose when I woke up, to my nose running like a tap by dinnertime, and all my energy was gone. So today was an involuntary rest-day from Maracattack. I did, however, go for a walk at Brimham Rocks with Cameron, which I think probably
-
J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
To me, this book is where it all starts getting exciting, and it definitely takes a turn for the darker! This book is where I started to be suspicious of Snape’s allegiance when I first read the series, and reading it again, I get the same feelings. We know that Dumbledore trusts him implicitly, but
-
HM2014: Day 3
I was aching so much today that I was tempted to skip Maracattack. After all, I did walk more today than yesterday. But then I realised that was just an excuse that the old me would have made, so I sucked it up and put on the DVD. It felt horrible while I was doing
