Great collection of resources! It sometimes helps to have these kinds of lists in video format instead of just a post to read. I am about to run CoS so your content has found me at the best possible time! Your videos give me a lot to think about but not in an overwhelming manner, and before I forget, the cat cameos are amazing!
Also, I love the spoiler alert for Harry Potter 😂

[@DMoftheMists]

Thanks for the kind words! 😃 And yeah... 😂 Hey, I guess you never know who hasn't watched/read it - and I'd hate to be the one to spoil the decades-old story, haha!
