Harry is getting so grown up. He crushes on girls, fights dragons and fights Voldemort! What a guy!
So sad that a character goes away, but one more exciting installment in the Harry Potter saga!!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkhaban
by J. K. Rowling
I can't believe I'm already done with the third book. These three have been relatively short compared to the four that follow. I love how another key character is introduced and become an integral part of the story. I also love how in each year at Hogwarts, Harry learns something specific that is used against Voldemort that year. I am getting more and more hooked (again) as I continue reading this series. This book has a couple of swear words (farm language), but nothing I haven't said in conversation or at exasperated moments with my children (Damn, Hell)...anyway. Good book, sad to see it end. Excited for Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
by J. K. Rowling
It is so fun to read this series again. Harry's power is increasing and the Hogwarts' classes are learning so much! I love how Harry and his friends find ways to solve problems and how the everyday troubles are so relatable. They seem to have the same kinds of problems other kids have - "does he like me?", "should we do homework or play?", "how do I tell an adult what happened?" Loveit! Loveit! Loveit!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
by J.K. Rowling
I had completely forgotten how this series started. It's been at least 5 years since I last read this book. I love how it keeps my interest, but isn't so intense I have to re-read each page to understand what's going on. In fact, I could read while talking to Luke while he was playing outside!
I love how real Harry is - he is just a normal kid who is doing the best he can with what he has. When I finds out he's a wizard, his character doesn't really change, he just improves himself even more.
Great book (series) for kids who need a little confidence boost!

Breaking Dawn
by Stephenie Meyer
I know. I know. Shocker. Not my favorite of the collections, but it does resolve in the end. Still a must-read!
