Below, my original copy of Goblet of Fire that I waited in line for when I was 9 years old and stayed up all night reading. And read countless times since then in all sorts of different situations and locations until it ended up looking like this. (We all know how long the wait between GOF and OOTP was!)

It’s my favorite Harry Potter book I own.

This is by far the most creative arc package I’ve ever gotten

if someone’s a rapist and an athlete, they’re not an athlete who made a mistake, they’re a criminal who can also swim.

Whether you’re conscious of it or not, when you’re reading books written in or set in the distant or not-quite-so-distant past, you’re constantly picking up evidence about how the world of the book works so that what the characters are doing makes sense. Charlotte Brontë doesn’t tell you that being a governess is one of the only respectable jobs available to a woman like Jane Eyre or that it was pretty impossible to get divorced in England in the 1840s, but you figure that out while reading because you’re a smart person, right? That kind of detective work is exactly what you have to do in science fiction when the author introduces you to a new universe.
