So, don’t answer the question just yet.

I remember reading one of J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter Series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone;  a boy who learns on his eleventh birthday that he is the orphaned son of two powerful wizards and possesses unique magical powers of his own. I read the 223 paged book in about 31/2 hours.

I am the worst person to watch a horror movie with, which is why I prefer to read the books instead. This affords me the ability to create my own scenes and in most cases, act in them. I am a religious person, but I do not cast and bind devils/demons daily. why? Because Harry made Witchcraft look sexy. It didn’t look as dark as I was made to believe in Sunday school.

When last did you read a book?
