~~~ TOP 5 TUESDAY ~~~

-

This month of Top 5 Tuesday with Shanah at Bionic Book Worm is going to be so incredibly fun for me and my girls. We're all Potterheads, so we're loving the Harry Potter theme. This week it's time to highlight Ravenclaw House and I'm going to share some characters from outside the Potterverse that I feel would 100% be sorted into Ravenclaw if they were characters created by J.K. Rowling. 

Alice from Alice in Wonderland. No, I don't specifically mean a Disney Alice, or American McGee's Alice, but the OG Alice from Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel. She's curious, inquisitive, and a total individual. Definite Ravenclaw.

Buy Matilda Here
Matilda to me just screams Ravenclaw. She's super smart and very witty as well. She does things that no one would really think her capable of (bleaching her father's hair? reading almost an entire library of books? moving stuff with her mind?!?). Yup, the epitome of Ravenclaw.

Stanley Yelnats. Accidental screw up. Determined inmate. He's accepting of the other kids, and has the smarts to figure out that something is up at Camp Green Lake. He's probably more of a Gryffindor-Ravenclaw hybrid, but I feel that Ravenclaw would win out because he won't give up or give in until he learns everything he can about his life.

Jacob from Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is TOTALLY a Ravenclaw. He has an open mind which is one of the reasons he's able to learn the truth about the photographs that were shown to him by his grandfather. Sounds a lot like a Ravenclaw power to me. 

And last, but abso-tively poso-lutely NOT least is my favorite....
Get your complete Sherlock Holmes set here


Nobody seems more like a Ravenclaw to me than Sherlock Holmes (and Benedict just happens to be my favorite Sherlock). He's all logic, but creative enough to solve the most difficult cases that come his way. I bet most of the Auror office is comprised of Ravenclaws, and Sherlock would be an amazing Auror!

Yes, ANOTHER book post. Sorry not sorry. I'm a total bookaholic. I inhale books like other people do air. So of course when I came across #IMWAYR I had  to jump on board!! Thanks Kathryn at The Book Date for hosting!! If you follow me on GoodReads then you know I have a voracious and varied book appetite. I LOVE all kinds of books and authors. I would not know how to function without my Kindle Unlimited  it makes life incredibly fun. This week I finished the 31st book in the Papa Pacelli's Pizzeria series by Patti Benning . It was incredible, as they all are. I really  hope this isn't the end of the series because I will be lost without Ellie, Russ, Nonna, Bunny, Sawyer, Marlowe and everyone else. If you love cozy mysteries, culinary mysteries, and especially both together, DEFINITELY check this series out!! I started a new to me series by another favorite author. Not cozy mysteries, these full length novels by Melinda Leigh  are spellbinding and totall

I ♥ Characters

Once upon a time I had TONS of things to blog about, and occasionally joined in on a fun prompt. Now, I find that I love prompts and sprinkle in day-to-day whenever I can. This blog circle is hosted by Dani at  Perspective of a Writer  and I cannot wait to join the fun each week. This is an "off" week, so I could have sat it out but since it's my first week ever joining in, I chose to take Dani's suggestion of recycling an old idea. The one I picked is: What character would you go on vacation with? If this was something that could really happen, I'd pick Eleanora Pacelli from Patti Benning's Papa Pacelli's Pizzeria series of cozy mysteries. Ellie is a strong, independent woman who uproots herself and moves to a tiny town in Maine from bustling Chicago when she finds that her fast-paced corporate life and fiance aren't at all what they seem to be. She moves in with her grandmother, Ann, after the unexpected death of Ellie's grandfat

Welcome to my first ever Music Monday post! I KNOW I'm going to have a ton of fun with this each week because music is something I'm passionate about. Join the fun and find other bloggers who posted for Music Monday at Lauren's blog Always Me This week I've been reliving my teen years somewhat and really enjoyed rewatching the film 10 Things I Hate About You . This was a big fave of mine back when it came out in 1999, the year I turned 18. I've always LOVED the music in this film, and I haven't really listened to 90's rock in a long time.  Here's my top three earworms from the soundtrack to 10 Things I Hate About You Cruel to Be Kind by Letters to Cleo This is just such a fun, catchy uptempo song that I LOVE to sing along with and dance to Fascinating New Thing (FNT) by Semisonic This totally 90's sound is a love song, believe it or not. It's also by the group that recorded one of my other 90's favorite hits "
