y'all i was a mega harry potter fan growing up and even i think this was pathetic; READ ANOTHER BOOK

I'm starting to think there's a correlation between cults and the inability to read more than one book...

Although in saying that, most Christians I've met haven't actually read their book so that theory falls through pretty quickly. Nevermind!

Why can't they read more?

I suggest Ellen Booraem's books, especially Small Persons with Wings.

I was about to say, I read all the books as they were releasing. This is still dumb as fuck and the fans who agitated for it should feel ashamed.
