Reply to comment by Silmarillien in Do you ever feel nostalgia for the time you used to read certain books? by Silmarillien

I started reading HP with PoA when I was already studying for a literature degree so it wasn’t what sparked my passion for reading but I remember dedicating a day to reading the final book sitting in the sun outside a local pub so clearly. Normally it’s not until I reread a book that I remember where I was when I first read it

I find Rowling's writing to be very immersive and flowing. I'm also a literature graduate and I went through a two-year burn out after my studies. I noticed I couldn't focus enough to lose myself into a story until I picked up HP and it was like returning to a second home. It's amazing.

What did you think of The Casual Vacancy?

I don’t love it the same way as the potter books, but I read it when it first came out and a couple of times since and it’s like a darker Joanna Trollope to me

Haven't read that one yet! I'm planning of rereading HP and then looking at her other work.
