Harry Potter Moment of The Week (21)

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a  meme hosted by Leah @ Uncorked Thoughts  and Micheline @ Lunar Rainbows Reviews. The idea is to share a favorite moment, magical item, character, spell, quote, object from the books, films or J.K.Rowling herself!  How to join up &  upcoming topics here.



~Favorite quote from Prisoner of Azkaban?~



This is such a hard question! I love quotes so much. I have a book of quotes where I write down any quotes that I like. So, it's hard to ask me to chose a favorite quote from one of my favorite books. It was extremely difficult! So I picked a few instead of just one. I'm a rule breaker, I know!
 The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite Harry Potter book because of so many reasons and the quotes I picked kind of shows that. 


“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

~~~

“Prongs rode again last night... You know, Harry, in a way, you did see your father last night... You found him inside yourself.” 

~~~

“I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good.”

&

"Mischief Managed."

Book Recommendations: New Adult



This is a relatively new feature that I will be posting now. I started blogging to talk about books with fellow book-lovers and basically nerding out. I thought, why not nerd out more? Thus this recommendation post came into being. I know this is not a unique feature and people literally do it every day. However, I wanted to recommend some books I really love, nerd off about them, and then talk with you guys about your favorite books. Hope you guys like it because I have about 4 posts already written and I'm posting them regardless.













~Wait for You by J. Lynn (A.K.A Jennifer L. Armentrout)~


Reasons to Read: 
A very relatable character. Beautifully written love story. A hidden secret (cliché I know, but it's much darker than I made it sound). A broken main character. Amazing character development. Hot, smexy scenes, and incredible love interest.

Quote:

“You are really…”

“Amazing? Awesome?” He paused, brows raised. “Astonishing?”

“I was going to go with bizarre.”
“Well, hell, if I had feelings that might actually hurt.”

“I’m confident enough in my masculinity and sexuality that I can say that Ryan Gosling is just dreamy in this movie.” 
~
This one is when she met Cam's father
~
“Within a few short hours, he nearly had me agreeing to try deer jerky for the first time. Almost. If it weren't for Cam continuously whispering "Bambi" in my ear every couple of minutes, I would've caved.” 
~

Personal Thoughts
This book wonderful and amazing to read! Avery is such a relatable and brave main character. She seems so real and her issues are so raw and relatable. She has been through horrible things (I won’t say what because it would spoil it) and it adds such a real and dark aspect to the whole story. And the fact that you don’t know what actually happen to her for the majority of the book adds this mystery dynamic to the story. Lastly, the romance is great because of how real and great they were with each other! They developed such a beautiful and loving relationship!






~Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover~

Reasons to Read: 

Amazing characters and character development. A wonderfully tragic love story. A very relatable main character. Will give you all the feels!! (I am not kidding about that, I cried three separate times when reading this one)

Quote:
~
“Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective.” 
~

Personal Thoughts
This book is one of my all-time favorite contemporaries! This book was just so emotional that I actually cried, multiple time, like for the majority of the last half. I was thoroughly emotionally drained when I finished this one but in a good way. The author beautifully portrayed these character’s twisted and confused emotions and you couldn’t help but get caught up in the story and the characters. Also, I loved the fact that disability is portrayed  and plays a big role in this book. It's not something you see a lot in young or new adult fiction and I thoroughly enjoyed it!







~Just One Day and Just One Year by Gayle Forman~


Reasons to Read

A very interesting story line, Amazing characters (I loved every single character there was), Fantastic character depth and development, and an amazing love story! This book will make you so invested in the love story that you will never stop thinking of it!

Quote:
~
“We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day. And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one day.”

Personal Thoughts
This series was beyond amazing!! I loved every second of reading them! Allyson was very relatable and I loved her character so much! Most of the time I hate these story lines because they come across as cliche but Gayle Forman did this one so well! I loved it! Willem and Allyson had such chemistry that even though it was insta-love it never really felt like insta-love. It came across as a very meaningful relationship and I was instantly in love with it! This book really shows the impact a person can have on someone's life and that was very interesting to read!
