Bookwitch bites #86

We’re all doing well. More or less, anyway.

I’ve watched a few iffy films recently, and Daughter is disappointed in me. Apparently, I ought to like more films. I think they are rubbish. But I do hope the film of How I Live Now will be one I will love almost as much as I love the book. I understand that filming is over and done with, but I don’t know when the film will come to a screen near me. Next year, perhaps?

Harry Potter’s biggest fan has been found. Her name is Alissa and she has just won a leather-bound and numbered 15th Anniversary Edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, signed and dedicated by J.K. Rowling.

And speaking of academic people, I recently found out that Son has inadvertently persuaded his dissertation supervisor to become a reader of Bookwitch. It’s very nice to have new readers, but sometimes I get a little nervous thinking about who reads all the rubbish I come up with.

But do spread the word, if you feel inclined.
