Book 99: The Tales of Beedle the Bard

I was disappointed by this book. I really enjoyed Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. I think I thought that there would be more than there was.

I enjoyed the style of the tales and I thought that Dumbledore's commentaries were brilliant. I was hoping that there might be some more tales but you can't win all the time.

I really loved all the characters. They were all really strong. I also thought that the messages of all the tales was wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the first one with the pot.

I give this book 7 socks out of 10. It was good, just not great. Still, any Harry Potter fan is sure to enjoy it. 

Book 98: The Book Thief

Many of you might have noticed in the past that I find it hard to write about things that make me feel. The Book Thief is no exception.

It was a very happy book for something about Nazi Germany but even though you knew the ending was coming it still killed me.

This all being said it was a fantastic book. Unlike most books about WWII it didn't dehumanize Germans and really showed the conflict within the nation. It was a very emotion book.

I feel like I should at least comment on the unique narration style. It was really enjoyable. I liked the little facts that it threw in here and there. At the same time, sometimes I didn't like them when they told me things that I didn't want to know. It made the book.

I give this book 9.5 accordions out of 10. It's beautiful. Stunning. Everyone should read it.
