He takes a breath and lets it out. It feels good to get this off his chest. To just tell it like it is instead of having to tiptoe on eggshells so as not to step on any toes.

Rolf nods and offers him a cup of tea, then takes one himself. He rocks back in his chair, and replaces the teapot and wheels back in front of Harry. "Go on. Anything else about work? How are things at home?"

Harry sips his tea. It's good. Something herbal, natural, a bit slick. "This is good. What's in it?" He's stalling and he knows it. And he knows Rolf knows he knows it too.

Ooooh, love the blurb! Is this the harrybang we've been told about? :-)

Ooo I love Lord of the Flies!

Is this from your Harry bigbang? Even if it's not, it's so intriguing.

High Five for Percy Jackson and Vampire Chronicles! And nice your choice for 777WIP :D.

Love the extract from the fic, and thanks for tagging me, special snowflake that I am :P

Awesome list. Lord of the Flies. God. That book. I absolutely LOVE that book. I actually like every single one on your list <3

I'm reading the Percy Jackson books right now (just finished book 2 a few days ago) and I'm really enjoying it so far!

And I'm quite intrigued by your snippet!

Oh, I remember I watched a tv adaption of "The Secret Garden" when I was little, and I was completely blown away. I loved the thought of a forgotten old, beautiful garden that no one else knew about.
And Alice in Wonderland is so delightfully weird. I really like that one. Don't know many of the others except for the obvious. Thanks for sharing your list :)

Is that, perchance, the prostate milking business? Because yay Rolf!

The Percy Jackson books are great!!! I've read the first three, maybe four, and loved them. I've not read any of the other Gods series from him, have you?


The Wrinkle in Time was amazing. It could easily have made it into my list. I was only allowed ten so it had to be left out along with quite a few others.

I'm also fond of Secret Garden, and I Never Promised You a Rose Garden.


Your writing meme is lovely as well. I'm curious as to know what Harry is stalling about. I bet it has something to do with Draco.

I was obsessed with the movie The Secret Garden for years, but I have still not read the book. I think it was the first movie I owned and I watched it everyday. A lot of these I actually haven't read. I just read Alice in Wonderland last year to my kids before bed.
