Title- My Ventures & Rove Through Rhyme & Rhythm
Cover
Description (From Goodreads)
“The magic is within us; the choice is ours we are free. So let’s change our fate and live our own destiny.” – a line from one of my poem. This book contains attempts I made in poetry, using Disney quotes, archaic words, nature, life etc as inspiration. Read on to find these new ventures that I made as a first time writer.
My review
“Be the star for which you were born. Don’t worry everything you will ace” Wow, just beautiful lines expressed by the poet, similarly the way she tells us that destiny is in our hands and we can control it, this short collection of poetry is inspiring and alluring, coaxing us to venture outside our comfort zones to discover the world and it’s beauty.Emotions speak throughout the poems, the way she travels through her journey of finding, is revenge actually worth, and many more. This book is a must read!

When in the sun I lay
All those crystal memories
Those make my day
All the books I read
All the lives I lived
While sitting on the bed
Dreading your end
Year after year
Each 500 pages i read
Each year hoping for the end
Yet every time anxiously waiting for it not to happen
I cried for you
I laughed with you
I fought along with you
I hushed those mocking tones for you
I lived for you
I died for you
I rejoiced with you
I grew up with you
I grew up for you
And yet you left me
You left me alone to fend for myself
All of you left me
In this cruel harsh world
You left me alone in the real world
You may have given me a much needed break from the my world
At a place where I belonged
But you still left me
After all I did for you
You still left me
In reality
This is to all the fictional characters out there as a punishment for stomping over my heart, after all the sleepless nights, all the times I waited and all the times I got in trouble for reading in class.

Heya peeps, today’s post is by Krisha who has an amazing blog, she posts splendid reviews you can check it out here, I hope you enjoy the post, let me and Krisha know in the comments.
Hello everyone I am Krisha. I am the author of Krisha’s Cozy Corner .Thank you so much Aanya for having me on your blog and participating in my blog tour . I am honoured to be here . So let me tell you a bit about myself.
I am a 12 year old and I always have been an avid reader and there is nothing more I like then curling up in a cozy corner with a good book. Reading books has been one of my favorite pastimes. After enjoying reading many fantastic book blogs for some time now, I thought that I would finally take the plunge and start a blog of my own and express my honest opinion about the books I read. To know more about me don’t forget to visit my blog!!
From the wise words of Albus Dumbledore to the practical sayings of Hagrid to the musings of Luna Lovegood, here are the 15 of the most magical quotes that originated in the Potterverse. Here are the 15 most influential life lessons tucked into the pages of the beloved book series.
“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities”
Book: Chamber of Secrets
Who said it: Albus Dumbledore
Explanation: After Harry emerges from the Chamber of Secrets, he expresses fear over the similarities between himself and Voldemort, telling Dumbledore that the Sorting Hat nearly placed him in Slytherin. However, the headmaster is quick to remind Harry that while he and Voldemort are both powerful wizards, Harry chooses to use his talents for good the true measure of greatness.
HAPPINESS CAN BE FOUND IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES…ONLY IF ONE REMEMBERS TO TURN ON THE LIGHT.
Book: Prisinor of Azkaban
Who said it: Albus Dumbledore
Explanation: We can find a way to be happy in any condition if we remember that we own our happiness. Unfortunately, most of us gave this authority to people and circumstances to make us happy and sad.
The truth.” Dumbledore sighed. “It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.”
BOOK– The Philosopher’s Stone
WHO SAID IT– Albus Dumbledore
EXPLANATION– Dumbledore shares these words with Harry while visiting him in the hospital wing following Harry’s battle with Professor Quirrell. Harry mentions some questions he wants answered about his history and his parents’ deaths, and Dumbledore urges him to treat the truth with reverence and caution. Ultimately, the headmaster decides that there are some answers Harry isn’t ready to hear—at least not yet.
“Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect”
Movie: Order of the Phoenix
Who said it: Luna Lovegood
Context: OK, so this one is from the Order of the Phoenix movie, not the book, but it’s too good to pass up. When Bellatrix Lestrange kills Harry’s godfather, Sirius Black, during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Harry is distraught. However, he finds comfort in the words of Luna, who despite having lost her mother at such a young age, maintains this positive outlook on life. This line also seems to foreshadow the Deathly Hallows scene when Harry is able to see and speak to Sirius again by using the resurrection stone.
Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open”
Book: Goblet of Fire
Who said it: Albus Dumbledore
Context: Following Voldemort’s return and Cedric Diggory’s death during the final task of the Triwizard Tournament, Dumbledore gathers the students of all three schools that participated in the tournament — Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang — in the Great Hall for an end-of-year speech, imploring them to come together to face the trouble that lies ahead. “Lord Voldemort’s gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great,” he says. “We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust.”
“What’s comin’ will come, an’ we’ll meet it when it does.” –The Goblet of Fire
Book: Goblet of Fire
Who said it: Rubeus Hagrid
Context: This Hagrid quote might not seem on the surface to be full of fiery inspiration, but his are words to live by just the same. As Hagrid says of Voldemort’s return, there’s “No good sittin’ worryin’ abou’ it”—He Who Must Not Be Named will strike when he strikes, and all the wizarding community can do is try and prepare in the meantime. But catastrophizing—devoting one’s whole life to dreading the worst possible outcome of a situation—will help no one. Hagrid’s pragmatic words are a reminder that fearing the future only harms our present.
I am what I am an’ I’m not ashamed”
Book: Goblet of Fire
Who said it: Rubeus Hagrid
Context: This full quote reads, “I am what I am, an’ I’m not ashamed. ‘Never be ashamed,’ my ol’ dad used ter say, ‘there’s some who’ll hold it against you, but they’re not worth botherin’ with,’” and is said by Hagrid to Harry, Ron and Hermione after Rita Skeeter publicly outs the gamekeeper for being a half-giant — an ancestry that carries a stigma in the Potterverse. The insightful advice embodies Rowling’s overarching messa
”IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT A MAN’S LIKE, SEE HOW HE TREATS HIS INFERIORS AND NOT HIS EQUALS….”
BOOK- HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE WHO SAID IT – SIRIUS BLACK
EXPLANATION – As Sirius, Hermione, Ron and Harry discuss the suspicious behavior of Barty Crouch Junier before they discover he used the polyjuice potion to disguise himself as Mad Eye Moody, Sirius gifts the trio with a nugget of important knowledge about human nature.
”NUMBING THE PAIN FOR A WHILE WILL MAKE IT WORSE WHEN YOU FINALLY FEEL IT…..”
BOOK– HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE WHO SAID IT – ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
EXPLANATION – After the fatal events of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry is exhausted and traumatized. Dumbledore asks Harry to recap his interactions with Voldemort inside the tournament arena, but Sirius interjects that Harry needs to rest and that the interrogation can continue in the morning. Dumbledore disagrees, and persuades Harry to face his most recent horrific experience head on.
“TO A WELL ORGANISED MIND…..DEATH IS NOTHING BUT THE NEXT GREAT ADVENTURE”
BOOK– HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE WHO SAID IT – ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
EXPLANATION –Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel lived for 600 years thanks to the Elixir of Life provided to them by the sorcerer’s stone. But after Voldemort comes dangerously close to stealing the stone and its powers, the couple decide it’s best they finally lay themselves to rest. Dumbledore explains their decision to a very bewildered Harry.
”YOU THINK THE DEAD WE LOVED EVER TRULY LEAVE US? …..YOU THINK THAT WE DON’T RECALL THEM MORE CLEARLY THAN EVER IN TIMES OF GREAT TROUBLE??….”
BOOK– HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF ASKABAN WHO SAID IT – ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
EXPLANATION – After Harry mistakes his reflection and patronus for his late father, Harry admits to Dumbledore his embarrassment in thinking he saw his dad. Dumbledore reassures Harry that he shouldn’t be embarrassed, because those we’ve lost live on within us.
‘TIME WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN SOMETHING UNPLEASANT LIES AHEAD….”
BOOK– HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE WHO SAID IT – HARRY’S THOUGHTS
EXPLANATION – As Harry rides the Hogwarts Express on his journey back from school after his fourth year and sucessfully winning Triwizard Tournament, he dreads disembarking from the train, having to say goodbye to his friends, and returning to the darkness of the Dursley’s home in the Muggle world.
” IT DOES NOT DO GOOD TO DWELL ON DREAMS…. AND FORGET TO LIVE…”
BOOK– HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE WHO SAID IT – ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
EXPLANATION – After Dumbledore catches Harry staring into the Mirror of Erised to see himself with his late parents, Dumbledore cautions Harry against spending time hoping for what could , or in Harry’s case, cannot , be brought back to life.
”IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF BRAVERY TO STAND UP TO OUR ENEMIES…BUT JUST AS MUCH TO OUR FRIENDS…”
BOOK– HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE WHO SAID IT – ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
EXPLANATION – After awarding Harry, Hermione, and Ron points for their respective courage, logic, and chess-playing skills in battling Voldemort for the sorcerer’s stone, Dumbledore makes recognizes Neville Longbottom for his ability to stand his ground against Harry, Ron, and Hermione when they tried to sneak out of the Gryffindor common room to foil Voldemort’s plan. Neville held true to what he thought was right rather than giving into peer pressure, an act that Dumbledore deems worthy of recognition.
‘DO NOT PITY THE DEAD HARRY, PITY THE LIVING, AND ABOVE ALL THOSE WHO LIVE WITHOUT LOVE….”
BOOK– HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS WHO SAID IT – ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
EXPLANATION – Moments before Harry finally kills Voldemort once and for all, Dumbledore urges him to not hesitate or overthink the prospect of ending another human’s life. Dumbledore’s prediction is that by killing Voldemort, Harry is actually saving countless lives in the process.

My new divider!!
My views
Soo most of you know that I love HP, but I can easily say that the Percy Jackson series is waayyyyyyyyyyyy better than Harry Potter, and even though I love JKR’s imagination Uncle Rick is just as compatible…
I absolutely loved this book, I had been waiting for it for more than an year, and I gotta say it was worth the wait. I really hope Rick Riordan will add another sequel series to this!!! Oh, and hopefully Apollo keeps his promise to Jason!! Surely this series wasn’t as good as PJ but still it was awesome!!!
