This week’s edition of the blog is being posted a day early. Mainly because I have been a bit more organised this week :).

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child 700x310_3

Of course Harry Potter and the Cursed Child gets another mention. Myself & Mel both finished this very quickly after getting a copy and at one point it had two bookmarks in it as we both wanted to read it.

First day sales have been incredible according to both Waterstones & Foyles. pre sales of the book had reached well over 100,000 copies at Waterstones alone.

 

Ness

The author Patrick Ness is to have another one of his books turned into a movie. Chaos Walking: The Knife of Never letting Go will be directed by Doug Liman, produced by Doug Davison & star Daisy Ridley

 Another adaption of Ness’s work – A Monster Calls will be released in cinemas later this year.
