Marking the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter.
Across the Web:
I’ve read a lot about cults in the last six months, so this essay on Lit Hub really caught my attention.

Yesterday, July 30, 2017, was the 199th anniversary of Emily Brontë’s birth.
I love to read what others think of one of my favorite books, Jane Eyre.
