Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by the Broke and the Bookish. I don't talk about politics on this blog for the most part. Mostly because I think it can be very divisive and because there are very few people whose minds are going to change because of it--no matter how … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Movies That Show One Person Really Can Make a Difference

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature from The Broke and the Bookish.

Top Ten Tuesday: If I Had a Fully Loaded Gift Card…
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by the Broke and the Bookish. Normally I try to avoid 'what if' scenarios because they usually mean I am spending way too much time dwelling on things that probably won't happen (and the less time we can all spend worrying the better).

Top Ten Tuesday: Where are they now? Children’s and YA Characters I’d Like Epilogues For
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature from The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is all about childhood characters we'd like to revisit in their adult years.

Children’s and YA Characters I’d Like Epilogues For
Rest In Peace, Alan Rickman
It's really hard when you lose great artists. Or when you lose people who represent your childhood. Even though you never would have met them, and there's no way they could know that they had an influence on your life, it's still painful to lose them. I was so sorry to lose both David Bowie … Continue reading Rest In Peace, Alan Rickman

But what better way to end our Harry Potter Baking for Bookworms series than with Harry's favorite treat: treacle tart. Treacle tart makes its appearance in several … Continue reading Baking for Bookworms: A Discussion of the Harry Potter Series and Treacle Tart
Baking for Bookworms: French Onion Soup from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
There's nothing better on a gloomy fall day than soup. Especially if it's French onion soup inspired by Harry Potter...It's the little things in life, really. French onion soup will always have a special place in my heart. This is by no means a quick recipe, but the flavor explosion is well worth the effort. The … Continue reading Baking for Bookworms: French Onion Soup from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Baking for Bookworms: Crystalized Pineapple from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Happy Halloween, everyone! This is one of my favorite holidays, and there's no better way to celebrate than with some sweet treats. Since the base of these lovely sweets is pineapple (which is a fruit, so it's healthy...) you'll get a wonderful tangy treat to go with your caramel apples, popcorn balls, and chocolate. Crystallized … Continue reading Baking for Bookworms: Crystalized Pineapple from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
DIY: Quidditch Letterman’s Jacket Cardigan
Last week I showed you how to make the Snitch earrings that I'm wearing as part of my outfit for my cousin's bat mitzvah. Because the theme of the evening is pajamas and jerseys, I thought this fantasy inspired sports look would both fit the theme and be a bit more of a costume, since … Continue reading DIY: Quidditch Letterman’s Jacket Cardigan
