I am a lucky girl! My friend Alix sent me a pressie in the mail and along with a cool pen and some raspberry hot chocolate mix, she included J.K. Rowling’s new book, THE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD!!! Yay!

I really wanted this book but I hadn’t made it to a shop yet, and quite frankly, despite the hundreds of emails that Amazon sent reminding me about its publication, it had already slipped my mind! Anyway, it’s a quite short book, so I sat down with a cup of tea and read it in about an hour or so. Very fun. I liked the tales just for themselves, but the commentary by Albus Dumbledore added a really fun element to it too. Definitely a perfect stocking stuffer for the HP fan on your list. Or yourself! And the nice thing is that all the money goes to High Level Group, which is a children’s charity. How can you go wrong with that? Thanks, Alix!
