Slaying my TBR: Waiting for Callback and Night Shift
UGH. This week has not been my best. I have been doing so much travelling, not sleeping and eating rubbish that I am basically a perpetually exhausted lukewarm corpse at this point (on the plus side, my Halloween look is sorted!).

Harry Potter Tag
Today, I'm doing the Harry Potter book tag. I was tagged by Amy at Golden Books Girl (thanks Amy, I really enjoyed this one). What house are you in? RAVENCLAW. Always Ravenclaw.
