Hello, my name is Amanda and this is my first attempt at blogging. I am open minded, curious, honest and a bit of an overanalyzer. I believe in positive thinking, good listeners, and loyalty. I adore the world of books, fashion, and the creative. I want this blog to be filled with fashion, books, and anything that inspires or amuses me. I have also challenged myself to read and review 24 books this year, so stay tuned to see how I do. I am always excited to meet new people and hear new ideas and perspectives so feel free to email me at gaspariamanda@hotmail.com!

I felt that it would be a betrayal of the character if I showed Harry doing anything other than living, what all along, he has discovered to be true, which is that love is the strongest power there is. I thought a lot of people that had been through terrible things like wars, and having to come home and rebuild normality after seeing horrors has always seemed to me like such a courageous thing to do. Climbing back to normality after trauma is much harder, it’s much harder to rebuild than to destroy. In some ways it would have been a neat ending to kill him [Harry], a neater ending to kill him. But I felt that would have been a betrayal, because I wanted my hero, and he is my hero, to do what I think is the most noble thing. So he came back from war and he tried to build a better world I suppose – corny as that sounds – both on a small scale for a family and on a larger scale.
