reading harry potter II

we're getting there. today we read from chapter 28, the madness of mr. crouch, to chapter 31, the third task. i know we'll want to read from here until the end, so we're going to wait until sunday with its numerous hours free of birthday parties, dance concerts, violin concerts, school work, and visiting friends and relatives, to relax and read uninterrupted.

reading harry potter

every year m and i read the next harry potter book. we're up to harry potter and the goblet of fire. it's fun reading with m . . she gasps and laughs and sighs and helps make it all come alive. we've been busier this year than last . . at least m is. last year we had a lot of time to read while waiting for her younger sister to come out of dance class. this year m is helping with class and instead of reading to her, i sit with my friend cindi and knit, which i don't mind . . but m does! we've been reading at night after c goes to bed . . but it takes c a long time to fall asleep these days . . so the reading hour gets later and later and later . . until it's very early!
