J.K. Rowling back in the day

Hey Marauders! Just a little Tuesday HP love for you. We recently discovered this little gem of a video, showing your highness J.K. Rowling discussing the first HP book. It's adorable to see her before all the success, she is so excited to hav sold just 30,000 copies. If only she knew what was coming...

Isn't it amazing to know how thought out the entire series was? She knew even back then she wanted to take the whole series through a 7 books, bringing him to adulthood. What a woman.

You're My Favorite Book - Stars

Hey literary lovers. Prongs here bringing you what I think may be my future wedding song. Just an adorable little tune by the band Stars that is sure to crack open even the thickest of bounded hearts. The lyrics and the video follow as well. Do you have any great songs that involve reading, love, or that special connection between the two? We want to hear them!

'You're My Favorite Book' -Stars
I was always late
You, never afraid
That we could be falling
All our friends would say
That maybe we should wait
But they can't see what's coming

And to this day
When everything breaks
You are the anchor that holds me

And that is why we'll always make it
How I know your face
All the ways you move
You come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say
The way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

When the days are long
And the thunder with the storm
Can always get me crying
Well you can make my bed
I'll fall into it
Shadowed but not lonely

'Cause I never knew home
Until I found your hands
And when I'm weathered
You come to me, you're my best friend

And that is why we'll always make it
How I know your face
All the ways you move
You come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say
The way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

And when we're making love
I give everything up for your touch

How I know your face
All the ways you move
You come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say
The way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

And when you go to work
All the day I wait
For you to come home
Recount our time
In our little place
Our little place

Long time, no blog.

Hey there literary world. It's been too long since Padfoot and Prongs have graced you with our charming, witty, and at times down right sexy presence... far far too long. So much has changed with both the blogging world and our real world since the last post, however we are so very excited to be back and doing what we do best... loving literature!

2012 marks a big year of change for your favorite marauders. First off, we are now currently living in the beautiful and quaint city of Cork, Ireland. It's a small town in the south of Ireland filled with bookshops, baristas, and of course good beer. While here we are fortunate enough to have time to wile away hours sitting slowly tackling our TBR lists, and now that we have internet access, we can faithfully return to our blogging adventures.

While we are a bit late on the 'resolution' posts for our blog, here are a few that we are hoping to stick with for the upcoming year. As we are abroad, we know that blogging won't always be consistent (what's new) or even possible, however we resolve to return to what we love most about this humble site, book reviewing.

To old blogger friends, we have missed you, to new literary love, welcome to our site.
May this coming year be filled with lots of prose, dog eared pages, and of course mischief!!
