Odd Thomas
I can’t remember the last time I was so caught off guard by a movie like this. Maybe I was paying too much attention to how adorable Anton Yelchin is… So what if I was? I paid enough attention to know that I liked it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
For years I have heard it said, but now I know it to be true: JK Rowling is brilliant. Masterful, even. I thought I knew the story. I was wrong. I am so very glad I was. Finally, the last for no. 20 on my challenge. I kind of feel like there’s nothing left to read…

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
“And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.” —Dumbledore My favourite quote from my favourite character from my favourite Harry Potter book (which happens to have my favourite cover illustration). Dumbledore, I’ll miss you. No. 20 on my book challenge. Almost there.

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
Chapter 33 ripped my heart out. Luckily chapters 1-32 and 34-36 were charming, hilarious, and cleverly written. Amazing. No. 18 on my challenge. I guess some people might call it teal…

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
I’m not going to lie; I really want to peruse Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. Not my favourite of the series—this one was a bit long—but still incredible (obviously). No. 20 on my challenge. Can’t stop.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
Wow. Just… wow. At first I thought, “SIX HUNDRED PAGES?!” Now I’m like, “Obviously. Six hundred pages. Totally makes sense.” SUCH a good read. Already reaching for Order of the Phoenix. Another for No. 20 on my challenge.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
And I thought Professor Snape was mean in the movies. He’s significantly worse in the books. Alan Rickman was very well cast. I love these books. No. 20 on my challenge. Still going.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
I actually think it was better that I saw the movies before reading the books—I know the story well, but I’m still discovering so much. Again, I wish I’d just bought the boxed set. Another for No. 20 on my challenge.

Fifty Shades of Grey
Perfect movie for Galentines with my single ladies. A few things I said out loud: “What?”, “Seriously?”, “I miss Jamie Dornan’s beard”, “Oh my God!”, “Oh”, “Ohhhhhh”, “HAHAH!”, “This should have been marketed as a comedy”, “Calm down, Ana”, “Creeper”, “Ew”, “Did he just say that?”, “NOPE”, “You’re fifty shades of what now?” I liked…
