DiamondInTheRough

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Illustrated Edition | J. K. Rowling

Black is the ultimate #DiamondInTheRough. He's gruff, unkempt and a little deranged, but deeply dedicated to those he loves. I forgot how pathetic and sniveling Pettigrew is in this scene though; it's cringe-worthy. #marchmadness #potteraday

GingerAntics It seems to me that Petigrew is far more worse for the wear in the last 12 years than Sirius. 5y

Enchanted_Bibliophile I'm still baffled by this chapter. Shouldn't Snape know that Black was never part of Voldemort's close informatives? And Pettigrew was? OR is he really still hung-up on the prank Sirius played on him as a kid? 5y

Linsy @Enchanted_Bibliophile I think he's really still hung up, but I don't know. I was going to say that maybe Voldemort kept Pettigrew a secret, but Black says that Voldemort's crew is super pissed at him for getting away ... so he wasn't a total secret from the death eaters. (edited) 5y

Linsy @GingerAntics Agreed! I just wouldn't call him a diamond in the rough. Maybe just rough? 5y

GingerAntics I‘m cool with rough. Maybe a little creepy, too. Sleeping with Ron all those years. I never put that together before. So creepy. 5y

Diamond Head | Cecily Wong

#MarchMadness #DiamondInTheRough

Since it is a volcanic tuff cone I think Diamond Head on the island of Oahu qualifies as a “diamond in the rough.” Landmark & good hike, it got its English name from 19th century British sailors who thought the calcite crystals on the adjacent beach were diamonds.

I enjoyed the tagged book that shares its name a sweeping saga of a Chinese family who moves to Oahu that covers multiple generations from 1914-1964.

Torched | Andrea Lynn Colt

pick

My pick for #MarchMadness #PhotoChallenge is Torched. Back in my blogger days, I seemed to only read terrible self pub books (the self pub industry has vastly changed since 2013). Torched was the first self pub book I read and loved, at the time it was very much a #DiamondInTheRough! @Eggs

Eggs Great choice👏🏻🤗🥳 5y
