The Romance Bookie

Hey everyone! I have two things I want to discuss!  I feel bad putting these into one post, but I am just so excited to share both with you!  First off, something I am the most excited about....and something some of you may already know about...Pottermore!! What is Pottermore?, you may be asking...well...it's the new website created by JK Rowling, author of the ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC (!!!!)

And let me be honest, am I glad that I gave it a chance. ...
