What's In My Bookcase - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

Here we are, already at the start of February in 2016. I'm sorry but where exactly did January go? All of a sudden I'm now 21 and a month closer to the start of university. Basically I have very mixed feelings right now. So, in order to cope with them here is the next instalment of my What's In My Bookcase? series!

Today's Book: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling


1. How did you come to own this book?
Okay so, I remember the day this book came out because I made my mum drive me to the bookstore in order to buy a copy. She did, and when The Deathly Hallows came out I made her do the exact same thing.

2. Have you read this book?
Is this even a real question? YES OF COURSE I HAVE READ THIS BOOK AND ALL OF THE OTHER AMAZING BOOKS IN THIS SERIES!

3. What did you like about this book?
The way I remember reading this book my mum, dad and I all read it at the same time so we had three bookmarks going which made it a little confusing. I did thoroughly enjoy the book though, just as I've enjoyed every instalment in the Harry Potter franchise. The book was consistent with Harry's journey and reached the point of no return in the series.

We truly got to dive into the Wizarding World in this book with the threat of Voldemort looming. Harry's relationships with his friends and mentor are stretched to the limit and we learnt more about Harry's parents. The ending of this book was a true shock to me and I'm not sure I'll ever truly be over it.

4. Would you recommend this book to others?
Not a day goes by I don't recommend the Harry Potter franchise to someone. Seriously.

Thanks for reading the newest entry in this series. Let me know in the comments below if you've read this Harry Potter book and which one was your favourite in the series.

Stay random!

Okay, be honest with me. Who else was both shocked and surprised by the season finale of Liv and Maddie ? I mean, what Disney Channel sitcom ends on a cliff-hanger anyway? Now fans of the show are freaking out, wondering how on Earth they’ll make it to 13 th September to find out the fate of Miggie. To cope with the stress of not knowing I decided to continue my blog series that I started before the season two premiere. So, here is the first entry to my top five favourite moments for each family member from season two. Check out my top five favourite Pete Rooney moments from season two below. 5. Showdown with Moe (Muffler-a-Rooney) After Moe steals Liv’s phone and Shayna’s sunglasses, Pete is tasked with retrieving them.

Flashback Friday: Descendants - Movie Review

Once again it is a Friday and once again it is time for another entry in the Flashback Friday series! Today, I'm going to be reviewing one of my favourite movies of 2015 (and possibly of all-time) Disney's  Descendants . For those of you who haven't heard of this (amazing) movie, Descendant's  is a Disney Channel Original Movie that aired in July last year. In the film the son of King "Beast" and Queen Belle is about to ascend the throne and offers the children of villains the chance to attend Auradon prep. Jay, Carlos, Evie and Mal, children of Jafar, Cruella de Vil, Evil Queen and Maleficent head to Auradon with a mission - steal Fairy Godmother's magic wand and beak the villains off the Isle of the Lost where they had been exiled.  Okay, so from the moment I found out this was a movie I was completely onboard. Then I found out Dove Cameron was starring as Mal and Kristen Chenoweth was starring as Maleficent. I knew then and there that I sim
