Five Fact Friday

So, I missed this last Friday - sorry about that - but since the name clearly says five facts I will not post an extra five to make up for it.

1 - Rowling (as in J. K. Rowling) is pronounced "rolling"
2 - J. K. Rowling published 3 books that exist within the Harry Potter series: "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", "Quidditch Through the Ages", and "The Tales of Beedle the Bard."
3 - She also wrote - under the pseudonym, Robert Galbraith - 2 crime fiction novels: "The Cuckoo's Calling" and "The Silkworm". I have not read them, nor do I know anything about them, therefore I cannot say if I would recommend them.
4 - Joanne (J. K.) Rowling was born on 31 July 1965, in Yate, Gloucestershire, England.
5 -  I LOVE the Harry Potter books!

Five Fact Friday: the first one

I decided that I wanted to start a "trend" for lack of a better word. Where I post five random - or not so random - facts every Friday. So, without further ado:

1 - X is the 24th letter of the alphabet
2 - I am a Harry Potter fan
3 - If you cut a Sea Star in half, both halves will grow back. Therefore: 1 Sea Star cut in half = 2 Sea Stars
4 - If you mix red and blue you will get purple
5 - Shakespeare never had descendants

So, there you go.
