The one with the chukkas, and a #HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild review
These boots I've had for ages is one of those things that just gets better with age:) Even though it's summer, I don't mind wearing these at all. Very comfortable and versatile.
This book was a quick read, mainly being it written as the script of the play now showing in London. Thus, most of the events that would have taken chapters to describe in a novel were written succinctly and very fast-paced. (I find it hilarious that people didn't know this before buying the book! Wuttt?!?! It was clearly stated in the description that it's the SCRIPT!)
Did I love the book? Yes and no. Yes, because the story was great. There was a lot of action, a lot of funny moments (mostly with Ron) and a lot of poignant ones as well. Yes....certain parts made me cry. I didn't think a Harry Potter book could still touch me the same way as reading the original seven books did, but I think this just shows how this script lived up to the whole spirit of Harry Potter universe. The ending of Part One: brilliant!
No, for the reasons that it was quick read. I would have loved for The Cursed Child to be an actual full-blown book, filled with details and description of the characters and the events. It could have been a 5000-page book...fans would've been happy! Being bound by the short time line of a play, there really was no chance to fully delve into the main characters Albus and Scorpius, and show in great details the shenanigans they got into. This book is what the HP movies are for me: a great interpretation but not the complete package. (Don't get me wrong. I loved the movies, but we all know that many aspects of the books were omitted in films due to time constraints.)
I do understand how lucky we are as HP fans to even have this book, and indeed, I am grateful for that. Alas, it saddens me that this is truly the end, as JK Rowling stated she is done with Harry Potter after this:'( I will be re-reading these books as long as I can, to hold on to the magical world of Hogwarts and Harry, Ron and Hermione.

JCW was definitely the highlight of The Healer. The mystery was somewhat interesting but they really could've done a better job with it. Some of the cast was a little weak. I hated the old guy who played the present day version of the older brother - so creepy and he was so off. Ahjumma was daebak though. When I first read about W, I actually thought could picture him as the male lead. I don't think it would've worked out with his schedule though and yes I agree he would've been awesome. JCW just accepted a new revenge drama (my least favorite genre) and Yoona (bleh) is in talks as the female lead. if she accepts that' s a definite pass for me. If you're in the mood for another crime series, I'd recommend - Ten (https://www.viki.com/tv/6035c-ten?locale=en) It's a little gruesome but the writing and acting was solid. The Woman Who Wants to Marry is another one I loved - it's got some romance but what I loved about it was the friendships and humor (https://www.viki.com/tv/6035c-ten?locale=en).

I have to say, even though I watched the movies, I was never a big Harry Potter fan when it comes to the books :)
I haven't got my hands on the new Harry Potter book yet but hopefully I will do soon xox
