Edward Scimia liked Sara's status update Sara is on page 145 of 817 of The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: 5⭐️ This book is so full of fun and nonsense in the absolute best way. It just may be the most unique and creative book I’ve ever read. It’s such a journey, and I can’t wait to see where we go next. Table for four at the restaurant at the end of the universe. (I’m also looking forward to revisiting the movie after finishing the series!)

Edward’s Quotes

“It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
