London Belongs to Me – Book Review & Why I Loved It
I've been catching up on my to read list now that the kiddo is back in school.

This is where London … [Read more...]
The Fangirl Life + The New Adventures of Peter + Wendy
Hey, kids - did you miss me? I've had quite a bit of a summer hiatus. With the kiddo being home from school, blogging took a back seat. However, with less blogging meant more times with the people I love, reading good books, and binge watching shows. This in part lent to lots of … [Read more...]

Warlock Holmes: A Study in Brimstone Review
Over the last year, I have developed a Sherlock love. Although I've not read the original stories, I am slightly obsessed with the BBC series.

Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince Recap + Felix Felicis Cocktail
I loved Half Blood Prince. This one is running neck and neck with Goblet of Fire for my favorite of the series.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Recap + Professor McGonagall’s Ginger Newt Biscuit Recipe
