Book Review: Beyond the Wand by Tom Felton

Today’s book review is about BEYOND THE WAND by Tom Felton. This is a memoir full of acting nostalgia as well as a glimpse into Tom’s life before and after filming the Harry Potter movies. I read this via audiobook, which I definitely recommend if it’s an option!

First Lines Fridays: June 23, 2023

Published on by Celeste8 Comments

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?  The rules are as follows:

  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

If you’re using Twitter, don’t forget to use #FirstLinesFridays!
