Book #142: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

 


Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

J.K. Rowling

with John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne

 Released: July 31st, 2016

My 8th book for 2026 was J.K. Rowling’s "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child".  

[Blogger's Notes: I'm going to do this series a little bit different than I normally do.  My sister, Megan Perry, is a diehard Harry Potter fan.  Since she also does some blogging, I figured I would incorporate her thoughts on this one as well.  You can check her blog "Between The Pages" at Megan Perry Writes.

Bryan Shades: I have never read this before now.  Originally, I had no plans to, but the more I read about it, the more I wanted to.  I found a nice hardcover copy at Half Price Books in Bethel Park, outside Pittsburgh.  It was worth it.

Megan Perry:

Here is what I learned.

Overall, 

Highest Recommendation.

On to Book #143: Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy.

Book #95: Clue #12: The Haunted Gargoyle by A.E. Parker

  Clue #12: The Haunted Gargoyle A.E. Parker   Released: March 1st, 1996 My 25th book for 2025 was A.E. Parker's “Clue #12: The Haunted Gargoyle”.   General Summary: Here's something I'll bet you didn't know, there were a series of books written back in the mid-1990's about the Parker Brother's game Clue.  I grew up loving the Clue books.  They were set up in a similar manner to Encyclopedia Brown.  You would have an introduction where Mr. Boddy would introduce himself and welcome you to the mansion.  With the exception of the first book, he would typically explain how he survived death in the previous book.  He would then go on to introduce each of the 6 guests (including his maid).  Usually this would segway into the first chapter by a loud crashing noise, or some other startling interruption.  Readers are treated to 10-13 mysteries per book, and each chapter was a different story.  At the end of each chapter, you were given ...

Book #113: Star Trek: The Motion Picture by Gene Roddenberry

  Star Trek: The Motion Picture Gene Roddenberry   Released: December 1st, 1979 My 43rd book for 2025 was Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek: The Motion Picture".   I read some of the Star Trek novels way back in 2009.  My roommate Ed got me into the TV series as he was a passionate fan.  I found the books at the local Wonderbook, and became excited to see the adventures play out in literary form.  I read books [movies] 2-4.  The trilogy was epic, and I enjoyed it very much.  I continue her to collect the novels over time, and have always said I had hoped to read the series at some point.  That time is now.   I don't have a vivid recollection of seeing The Motion Picture, but know it came some time in 2009/2010.  It's arguably the most boring Star Trek film of them all (Yes, even Final Frontier has more action, flaws aside).  This was more of an intellectual Star Trek.  Roddenberry attempted to channel the more philos...
