I read this entire book today because I was in bed most of the day with a sore throat and body aches. Fingers crossed I’ll feel better tomorrow. Anyway... Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn. This is the August selection for my IRL book club, so not my usual pick but I enjoyed it. Lots of small-town, everybody knows your business, family drama, twists and turns and an unreliable narrator made this a solid story. Camille is a mediocre reporter for a newspaper in chicago who is sent to her tiny hometown in boot-heel southern Missouri to write about the mysterious murders of two young girls, proving you really can’t go home again. 4/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng. This is a beautifully written book that examines family, secrets, sacrifices, belonging and parental pressure. The book tells the story of the Lee family, Chinese Father, White mother, mixed-race kids, in an area and era where they were the only family that looked like them and didn’t fit in. At the center of the story is Lydia, the middle child of 3, favorite to both parents, and dead on the first page. What follows is the varying degrees to which the family members struggle with this loss. Both parents have generally ignored the two other children most of their lives, and that doesn’t change much after she dies. Mom loses herself in a search of answers and Dad finds comfort in his young, attractive teaching assistant, leaving the remaining kids to cope on their own. The timeline jumps around to explain how Lydia became the favored child and what that pressure did to her mental health, her family dynamic, her relationships with her siblings. This book is an excellent description of how the secrets and regrets we hold can shape who we become and fracture a family. An enjoyable, insightful read. 4/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

The bag I made myself yesterday to take to the Wizarding World of Woodstock event. I knew I needed a decent sized bag to carry water and Wands and whatever else my kids handed me while we explored. This fit the bill perfectly! I usually add little zipper pulls and this one is no exception, but I found this little owl yesterday and I knew I would be a wonderful addition to my bag. The bag is Pelican Tote from @bagstockdesigns and it’s a free pattern! The Harry Potter house fabric is from Joann and the accent is black linen. #wizardingworldofwoodstock #cosplaysewing #handmadecostumes #harrypotterfan #harrypottertotebag #pelicantote #bagstockdesigns #handmadegifts #bagmaker #harrypottercrafts

The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon. I listened to the audio book this week, it showed up in my suggestions on the Library app. I really enjoyed it. The characters are wonderful and the side stories are interesting. It’s a love story and a story of family and circumstance and human connection and science and poetry. Daniel and Natasha meet on her last day Before her family is deported and spend the day falling for each other through a scientific method and a series of events that just keep pushing them together. Improbable? Yes. But aren’t the best parts of life unexpected? 4/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram #youngatheartYAreader

We had so much fun at the Wizarding World festival and my little Fred and George were a hit. They got all sorts of comments and had a blast. I made their robes and Wands this year and the ties last year. (I also made myself a skirt and shirt and bag, of course I didn’t get a photo of me.) #handmadecostumes #harrypotterfan #wizardingworldofwoodstock #cosplaysewing #fredandgeorgeweasley

Morning wand making, as one does. Used the rolled up copier paper and hot glue method from Pinterest. They aren’t perfect but I think they’ll do the trick. #wandmaking #wizardingworldofwoodstock #handmadecostumes #harrypotterfan #fredandgeorgeweasley #harrypottercosplay #moveoverollivanders
