What is Mrs. Garver Reading?
I am re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling this week because I am preparing for Harry Potter writing camp this summer. I love re-reading books because it feels like I am meeting an old friend. I always notice new things when I re-read, so I highly recommend it!
