3. What is it? Search it. A good book. About magic. I think any HP fans might want to pick up this book. A great series. Currently waiting the last book to come out. The seventh book xD

Just finished The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling, her first book for adults. I thought it was pretty captivating, tho it was somewhat challenging to keep track of all of the characters initially haha

1. Its basically i think 11 or 12 books, im trying to re-read them all called ( pendragon )
2. D. J. Machale
3. Basically, there is a bad guy named Saint Dane and he tries to destroy the world by brainwashing humans and making the turning points of earth's history on itself and cause internal conflict so everyone would kill each other. A 15 year old kid(not sure if thats the age) starts to hunt him down with his uncle through portals into other dimensions and civilization. theres human cats/ monsters/ superpowers/shapeshifting/inception kind of twist involved. its a really quick read, one time i sat down and finished a whole book in a day. I read it all back in highschool, but i want to reread it again and re-live the adventure.

Just finished Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. The plot and characters reminded me of Sputnik Sweetheart, which I read for school last semester.
