Thanks for the heads up regarding HP. I may check it out from the library and read it as fan fiction as you say. That's a good idea, otherwise, I may be too disappointed. Thanks for visiting, Christina!

I'm also reading more YA contemporary than I used to. Right now I want to catch up on all the review books I already have and I want to read more library books that I pick out for fun. Too many times I check stuff out and then don't have time to read it because of review books!<br /><br />I read HP and the Cursed Child. I knew going in that as a play it would be different than reading a novel. I had also read the spoilers so I knew the basic plot and "twists". I treated it like HP fanfiction which is kind of what it read like. There were some ridiculous things in the plot and the characterizations were off. Even the dialogue didn't read like the dialogue in Harry Potter novels. J.K. Rowling's name may be on the script but I don't think she actually wrote it. If you are curious about it, I suggest getting a copy from your library and treating it like a work of fan fiction rather than "Harry Potter canon".Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-12184486428897522292016-08-13T08:52:24.739-04:002016-08-13T08:52:24.739-04:00Yeah, I am just on the fence about it.

I'm also really worried it won't live up to the others, especially since it's more in script format, and I don't want my last HP moment to be one of disappointment:(Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-14591174781285310572016-08-12T08:57:30.611-04:002016-08-12T08:57:30.611-04:00I should participate in that feature, too!
