Three must-read series if you loved Harry Potter

By

The Harry Potter franchise changed the landscape of reading forever. The series reawakened a love of reading in adults and children alike.

But some of us get stuck with knowing what to read next. The problem with a great series is that they cause a book hangover (It’s a real thing. There’s an Urban Dictionary definition and everything).

You’re sad that the story is over, and reluctant to try anything new because it won’t be as good.

Never fear! There are book nerds like me who can confidently recommend what you should read next.

NovelTEA: The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz + Death By Chocolate Ice Cream Cake

By

I have been sitting here trying to come up with a clever intro for about 30 minutes.

That’s a lie. It’s only been five minutes. The rest of that time has been devoted to working around my family’s newest addition— a one-eyed cat who loves constant attention and snuggles. And won’t settle for anything less (I mean, at least he knows his worth).

He’s going through a phase of wanting to give me love-bites and then slobbering all over my fingers with his adorably raspy tongue, and honestly, I’ve tried to distract him and remove him from my work area. But he’s not having any part of that. So basically what will be happening for the duration of this review is I’ll be valiantly trying to string together cohesive sentences. He’ll be meowing loudly, pawing at my hands, and snatching my fingers into his paws so he can glomp on them.
