We started yesterday in part 1 and today we opened part 2, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This book is also an easy read but no wonder, first 3 part are the thinnest books. That will soon be different! Fortunately, we can hardly put the books down ourselves, now that we have started again :) For the tasty cookies that we baked today to go with our the reading, we really wanted to make time! But now we read on quickly, part 3 is waiting for us!
