A Magical Book Review

Okay, so this might be predictable, but I had to do a set of books that I could pick off the top of my brain. If you've been following me, you know that we have 2 fish tanks, a 125 gallon and a 30 gallon. We moved some of the smaller, more skittish fish to the 30 so they would be able to relax, but our novice tanking experience caused some issues and right now we're fighting high nitrates, and we've lost 3 fish, including 2 guppies and a small catfish. Now our bigger catfish is covered in ick and not doing very well, and the 30 gallon is being wiped out. So a lot of our time and energy has been thrown into that for the last few days.

Sorry if that's uninteresting to anyone, but it's what's been going on! I didn't think I would get attached to these fish, and this has been "my husband's baby" since he got it a few months ago, but it really has been sad to watch them getting sick and dying. So hopefully all the work we've been doing the past few days will balance out their environments and no more of our little creatures will succumb.

And here's the series:



Yes! The Harry Potter series! A few of them were already published by the time I got into them, but I loved them and waited patiently as they came out, one by one. I remember reading the last book, and I was so involved with the story that I stayed up until 2am to finish reading it. I don't have a lot of opportunities to do that anymore, and have found few books that have elicited that sort of behavior out of me since.

This magical journey, following none other than Harry Potter, is ideal if you let your child grow with the series. The first few books are dramatic, but acceptable for younger children. As you move further on through them, they become more young adult and a little more graphic. We've just recently allowed my 7-year-old son to see the last couple of movies, with our supervision, just because the content is a little intense.

Anywho, if you're one of the few people who haven't read or seen the Harry Potter series, I encourage you to do so. It's highly entertaining, and it's family friendly as well.

Okay, back to the daily grind. Thanks for stopping by!
