J.K. Rowling publishes new story about skin-walkers - cnet

During Panzer's trip in the Catosphere today, our little kitty heard cheering and clapping. Following all the happy noises to the cnet site, he discovered news about J.K. Rowling.

Now, you may remember, our kitty boy is a big fan of Harry Potter. So much so, that last year he managed to get accepted to Hogwarts. Now, any kind of news about Pottermore is big news to him.

According to the post at cnet by Bonnie Burton, Ms. Rowling has started a series of posts called "Magic of North America" at the Pottermore site. She will write one post per day standing yesterday and ending Friday. The cnet post includes a link to Pottermore and the "Magic of North America" series.

I'm out of here. Gotta go read it.

Panzer says, "No time for anything more now. I'm off to the Catosphere to learn what Ms. Rowling's got planned for North America."

Note: You'll need a cup of tea for today's reading. If you plan to read the "Magic of North America" posts too, you'll need a second cup of tea and two muffins.

Book Review: Unicorns and Magic and Dragons and Non-Believers

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy ... Hamlet, William Shakespeare

Michelle Snyder, author of Symbology: Decoding Classic Images discusses the unicorn image at Two Ends of the Pen: The World of Symbols: The Unicorn today. In her opinion unicorns don't exist! That is so sad. It's not sad that she said unicorns don't exist. It's sad that she doesn't believe they exist.

Why, you say, is that sad? Because, if you don't believe in unicorns, you don't believe in magic. And, if you don't believe in unicorns and you don't believe in magic, then you don't believe in dragons. Everybody knows there are dragons! Without dragons what a boring world you must live in.

All I can say is: there are unicorns; there is magic; and there are dragons in my world. My life is never boring!

Book Review: Dogs and Cats and Death and Magic...Oh My!

I just finished reading The Bellhound - Four Tales of Modern Magic by Camille LaGuire. It's short, only four stories, but well worth the read. Each story is a stand alone with no spill-over characters. Camile LaGuire writes for the YA market.

The Bellhound of the book title is a humorous little "be careful what you wish for" story. The second story, Away He Run , is, according to Panzer,  nearly purr-fect. Next up comes Trespasser  which demonstrates the importance of standing up against bullies, no matter how powerful they are. And finally, Like The Wind, is a story about childhood belief and joy.

No spoilers here. You'll have to get your own copy to experience the magic!
