Dearest Smuggler-Friends!
The end is here! After years and years of build up, the Harry Potter movie franchise comes to an end TODAY. Right now, we are equal parts unbearable excitement and devastated melancholy. The Harry Potter series – both the books and the movies – happens to be one of our favorites and for [...]
Hello everybody and a great Sunday to all! Who has secured tickets (and boxes of tissue) for Harry Potter’s showing next Friday? *raises hand*

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday!
Is anyone else enjoying a Game of Thrones finale party? Big props to HBO for doing such a great job with the first season adaptation of the novel. The question now becomes, what on earth do we do to fill the big ASoIaF-shaped hole in [...]
Hello everybody!
By the time you read this post, I (Ana) shall be one day away from visiting HARRY POTTER WORLD.
I will give you a moment to recuperate.
Yes, it is true! I am drafting this post on Friday, as I pack my bags for a week in Orlando. I am going [...]
We are Harry Potter fangirls. The sort of fans that stand in line at midnight for the last book (that would be Thea) or who stand by the window from 6am to wait for the delivery from the postman (that would be Ana). We love, LOVE the books and we think the movies are not [...]
It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these! But in honor of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and our upcoming Young Adult Appreciation Month, we thought it would be a good time to spark the tradition once more. (And yes, we will definitely try to have our joint review of HP6 tonight/early [...]

New Trailers:

All three trailers together (that last one has some additional footage not in the first two). What’s that smell you might ask? That’s Thea and [...]

I absolutely cannot wait–this trailer is freaking sweet.
About Us
We are two completely obsessed, sad, sick addicts when it comes to books. Faced with threats and cynicisms from our significant others and because of the massive amounts of time and money we spend at Amazon.com, we resorted to getting books delivered to our offices and then smuggling them into our homes (in huge handbags) to avoid detection. Here we found a perfect outlet for our obsession! Reviews, recommendations, and other ponderings are our specialty.Sponsors
