*conflicted*"

yeah, I don't think it's something I can do for all 7 books (if they do it for each book that is). there's the problem of budget, but also the space that it takes on my shelves...

not to boast or anything, but I was not very concerned with justifying myself lol. Yes... I'm guilty of having bought them all... I couldn't resist. I had to space them out though, my budget could not handle buying all four at once. ...
I have a problem. I know.

oh, I ordered it on Amazon :) don't worry, I also have the british (and the true) version. I have a little Harry Potter collection and I just really needed that tenth anniversay edition ;)

Ragdolls don't really have smushed faces. I think you must confuse them with persian cats (the breed they used for crookshanks in the movies).

here's a picture of mine :) I don't want to spam you all, but I can't resist the opportunity

What's that Ragdoll discrimination I hear? lol
I own a ragdoll cat and I can tell you they are the friendliest cats, so it totally fits you.
personally, I got a siberian cat. and I'm fine with that :)

oh, yeah right. Tonks is great :)
I forgot she was in hufflepuff for a second.

not at all. JK Rowling herself said that it was her favorite house. And, just think of Newt Scamander :) He's awesome !!!

Will the teams be formed according to our h..."

maybe, huh?
Well, in that case, I'm really sad we'll not be able to be in the same team. But I'm sure I'll get to know some awesome Ravenclaws :D
Because, I'm definitely ravenclaw. I did the pottermore test three times and each time I was put there. And every other test I did said the same.

Will the teams be formed according to our hogwarts house? I didn't know

What house are you in?

Hello witches and wizards !!!

I'm very excited for this upcoming Tower Teams :D

And I'm also a Ravenclaw ;)

Yeah, I've been ranting about it for the past half hour."

:( When I first discovered it I was really upset about it too.

I wonder now how they'll do it for the next books. Are they just going to alternate black and house colour? I guess that would be okay? I don't know.

But, here's the image:

Yes, they are gorgeous. I also got the Ravenclaw edition :D

This year they are releasing the second book in this kind of edition, too. I'm not sure exactly when it's supposed to come out. Somewhere during the summer, I think. Here's a picture of the hardcover and paperbacks.



they reversed the colour logic from the first book. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I liked the black hardcovers.

YEAAAAAH !!! I can't wait ! It's been so long since I've participated in a towerteam. And a Harry Potter themed one ! Just YASSS!!

Hi Sonia, it's been a while :)

Title & Author: Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine
Pages: 410
Date Finished: 28/07/17
Rating: 5 stars

Reviewed in the Review Corner? YES

I finished rereading Ink and Bone tonight and left a little review in the review corner. That'll give us some extra points ;)

Ink and Bone was one of my favorite books read in 2016. And this year, after my second read of it, my feelings have not changed. I liked it just as much. I love the plot, I love the characters and I love the settings.
It is the kind of books that makes you think. The subject itself should touch any bibliophile. The only idea that I would not be able to have my own books makes me cringe. But on the other hand, some of the argument used by the librarians makes sense. Especially when you are confronted with people like the one described in the prologue. If you have read the book, you know who I mean. I still feel deep disgust at the thought of what he did.
The book is also very action packed. You have a journey, a war, thieving, explosions etc. In other words, this book will not bore you. Not for one page.
It is a full five stars rating for me!
