    Kyrie’s Kwality Kwidditch

    Aylarah’s Delicious Dishes

    Just as I was despairing and dreading the thought of having to ask Cassie for a bit longer to write this, I remembered something I made last month. Something I took pictures of after the first stage or two. I was saved! So without further ado...

    Cassie’s Cranky Corner

    Not so long ago (okay, over two years ago), I’d written a slight blurb on my favorite fictional females. After having read a few more books, the list has only gained one new addition (Sabriel from Garth Nix’s novel of the same name). Listing down my favorite men, however, is a feat in itself.
