I forgot how annoying Percy is in the books. But I do adore how the mystery of the chamber of secrets plays out. It's well paced, so far.

“But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.” (Rowling, chapter 10). What a great paragraph. I forgot how much I adore these books, but them I read a paragraph like that and the joy just flows through my blood.

(Spoilers) I noticed that Quirrell's turban isn't mentioned until Harry gets to Hogwarts. Which explains why he's able to touch Harry.

Rereading the series in preparation for the publication of the Cursed Child script. (Changing reading dates so the rereads count for my book challenge. Even if I've read the books before, I'm reading them again now so I want them to count!

This is the first Star Wars book I've read where I couldn't bare putting it down.

It's hard to put this book down! It's pretty much everything I wanted it to be, and a little bit more than that.

Solid 3.5 stars so far. The writing is a little choppy, but that's probably due to the nature of translating a book from a foreign language into English. It reads fairly well though. The plotline of this game is pretty simple, so the book does feel a little unnecessary since there's a great manga adaptation as well. But I am looking forward to the novel adaptations of later games in the series

It's a really nice collection of short stories featuring the War Doctor so far. A lot of these are just as good as anything featured in the show or official Tie-In material. And since a number of these authors have written for the official BBC books range or Big Finish productions, I basically consider this book to be official anyway.

The story is enjoyable, but at times it can get bogged down under a ton of unnecessary description and elaboration of environments and events. You kind of end up going, "Just get to the point already. I don't care how the Trade Federation ship works in minute detail." I've had to get the abridged audiobook to help me through this book.

Finished the main part of the book and enjoyed it very much.

A little too heavy on Kanan's backstory and light on Hera's, but an overall enjoyable reading experience.

I'm not very far at all in it, but so far it's enjoyable.
