Waiting on Wednesday: Pottermore

August 10, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Waiting on Wednesday 4 Comments

Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. I know it's not a book, but it's an "online reading experience" according to J.K.

So comes the end of an awesomely fun week.  I got onto Pottermore almost everyday just to have the fun of finding the clue again.  Don't worry, I didn't register, but I did take a bazillion screenshots and I put them all on my Facebook page. I only missed screenshots from Day 1 because I slept ...

My "Follow the Owl" Theories

June 25, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 3 Comments

I wanted to post some screen shots I found while "following the owl" on www.secretstreetview.com. The first one is from Salem.  You can see a brown owl taking off from the awning and heading west.  You can also see the "magic" letter J.K. Rowling used as a teaser for what the website would be called. If ... Read More »
