After stolen moments of reading in between working (sshhhh don’t tell my boss!) and sneaking in the middle of the night to read in the kitchen (hush, hush, don’t tell my other boss!), I am finally done with Harry Potter. I mean done with the book, that is.
Time for some review. Spoilers ahead so this […]

I hope to finish the book tonight or maybe tomorrow afternoon while I wait […]

I made a big leap from Chapter 3 yesterday by eating my lunch for less than 10 minutes and reading for the rest of my one hour lunch break.
Spent about an hour reading last night and then again on lunch break today - in the dark. Lights come off at lunch, to conserve electricity. I […]
