I thought it was well enough executed (Rowling is a good storyteller), but I don't get along with "well-off white people filled with ennui and behaving badly" books. They frustrate (and ultimately bore) me. I personally preferred her Galbraith books, and I'm not much of a mystery reader.
I'm re-reading Boy's Life by Robert McCammon. Mucho fantastico.
The Five is good. Have you checked out his novella I Walk the Night; first of a series, I loved it.Read that one back in the day. I always liked McCammon's stuff. He edited a fantastic vampire anthology called Under The Fang back in the 90's. I have a first edition signed by all of the contributors. If you've never read it hunt down a paperback copy.
I want to check out his newer novel The Five.

Nope...VAMPIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I haven't read that one. Is it one of his historical fiction forays?
I just love him. Give him a little goose for me, eh Marsha?
I just Googled that and read a preview on Good Reads - I think I will jot that one down and order it through the library - it looks very good - thanks!I'm finishing a re-read of Mennonite in a Little Black Dress. It's hilarious.
Well, like I used to joke with the guys in the military (when I was in) - You talk dirty to me, it's sexual harassment - I talk dirty to you, it's 5.99 a minute!That just applies to men, right?

(the price has probably gone up since then - that was the 90s).
I started At Home in Mitford on skimom's recommendation and am so pleased that my reader's block seems to be gone! *singing*
It is exactly what I needed. Light and heartwarming and fun. It is very charming and I will be reading them all, I'm sure.
Thanks again, skimom2 !

The Mitford books are wonderful and such a pleasant respite from the heavier story lines out there.I started At Home in Mitford on skimom's recommendation and am so pleased that my reader's block seems to be gone! *singing*

Hugs are just fine--no complaints from either party as we put on our friend hats then.I guess a big hug would be out of line, huh?
