With bits and pieces of Felton's life leading up to his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, Felton paints a picture of what it was like to be a part of the magical world of Harry Potter. From the challenges involved in directing a bunch of unruly children with little advancements in the technological sphere to the heartfelt advice given by some of the leading actors and actresses in British television, this book is an absolute goldmine for an ardent Potter fan (ME!)

It's hard to pick a favorite read when you're a total bookworm. Yet, I persevered and picked five! The five books I have picked are a mix of fiction and non-fiction that made me look at a range topics from a different perspective.

Which is why I am here to explain, why you should be adding these books to your TBR pile this year.
This is the story of a man who survived the holocaust by hiding in plain sight. A man who had to leave behind his name, identity and family to avoid being executed for his genetic construct. It's only decades later, that his daughter, Ariana Neumann uncovers the astounding story of her father's mysterious past by painstakingly piecing together the narrative from photographs, letters, official documents and countless interviews from long lost relatives. The end result is a story that will leave you gobsmacked!
Instagram has paved the way for all things pretty. Books are no exception. There's absolutely nothing wrong in liking a book with a pretty cover. Unfortunately not all pretty books deliver in terms of plot, narration and character development.
