Harry Potter Meme of the Week #2 - Hermione's World

Hermoine is the best.
I love her.
She was so influential to me as a kid and teen growing up.
I even think she was a big reason I became a booknerd.
So the prompt for today is:
Rename the books from Hermione's point of view.
Genius.
Hermione is the most present character in the series besides Harry, so it makes sense she would have an opinion about all the crazy that went down.

1. WELCOME TO THE WIZARDING WORLD AND THE TWO MOST AMAZING/ANNOYING BOYS YOU WILL EVER MEET.
2. MORE CRAZY BOYS AND GETTING PETRIFIED IS NOT HOW I IMAGINED MY SECOND YEAR GOING.
3. THE YEAR IN WHICH I AGAIN DO EVERYTHING FROM TURNING INTO A CAT-THING TO TIME-TURNING ISH TO SAVE THE WORLD.
 4. S.P.E.W. ANYONE?
5. UMBRIDGE CAN BITE ME.
6. I HATE LAVENDER BROWN.
7. SAVING THE WORLD IS HARD. THANK GOD HARRY HAD ME.


Obviously I went with funny titles because I love Hermione's sass-level.
The fact is, she is the ONLY reason why Harry had a chance and everyone knows it.
Hermione is unwavering in her loyalty, morals and love.
She is passionate, kind and brilliant.
Let's hear it for the brightest witch of her age.

One moment of recklessness will change their worlds

Smart. Responsible. That's seventeen-year-old Breanna's role in her large family, and heaven forbid she put a toe out of line. Until one night of shockingly un-Breanna-like behavior puts her into a vicious cyber-bully's line of fire—and brings fellow senior Thomas "Razor" Turner into her life.

Razor lives for the Reign of Terror motorcycle club, and good girls like Breanna just don't belong. But when he learns she's being blackmailed over a compromising picture of the two of them—a picture that turns one unexpected and beautiful moment into ugliness—he knows it's time to step outside the rules.



And so they make a pact: he'll help her track down her blackmailer, and in return she'll help him seek answers to the mystery that's haunted him—one that not even his club brothers have been willing to discuss. But the more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow. And suddenly they're both walking the edge of discovering who they really are, what they want, and where they're going from here.

It's no secret that I love Katie McGarry.
I read a ton of young-adult contemporary in 2014 and have read much less in 2015.
However, a contemporary author I will always read is Katie.
Her books are magic and I love the way she interprets the world.
I personally relate to her characters so much and I appreciate the topics she tackles in her stories.
I read Nowhere But Here thinking it wouldn't live up to her previous series, Pushing the Limits.
I was wrong.
It was better.
Walk the Edge is the second installment in the Thunder Road series and to be quite honest,
I am DYING to get my hands on it.
Like, I would consider selling an organ to get an arc.
Kidding.
But seriously.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
