[C.P.]

Yay! A lot happens in those three chapters.

[Meghan]

Definitely! So what chapter do you want to read up to today? I can probably do up through chapter 8 if that's okay?

[C.P.]

Yes, through chapter 8 sounds good. :)

[Meghan]

Awesome :)

[C.P.]

I was only able to read two chapters today.

Through chapter 7. (view spoiler)[Lockhart is really annoying, but he does add some humor to the story. And obviously more has to come from that.

I love that even though Hermione annoys people, they all jump to defend her when Malfoy calls her Mudblood. Fred and George are just excellent.

But what was that voice? Definitely ominous. (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

I only read through Chapter 6 so not a problem.

(view spoiler)[ I am loving this so far. I loved the humor! I knew Lockhart was a phony, too. Hahaha! (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Hmm I'm really wondering what that voice was... don't tell me!! (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Meghan wrote: "Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

It's kinda creepy, isn't it?

[C.P.]

How much do you want to get through today?

[Meghan]

How about through chapter 9? they are quite long :P
And yes, so creepy!

[C.P.]

Through 9 sounds good! I just haven't had as much time as I had hoped to read.

[Meghan]

Me either! It's ok!

[C.P.]

I read through chapter 9 yesterday. I don't remember it being this creepy when I was a kid.

(view spoiler)[The blood on the wall is creepy. And Mrs Norris being petrified. Malfoy being involved seems too convenient though. (hide spoiler)]

It is creepy, but to be honest I kinda like it! I read through chapter 9 as well.

(view spoiler)[I agree, at first I thought it was Malfoy but then that seemed too obvious, especially after thinking of the plot twist at the end of the first book... then I began to think, what if that's the voice Harry's been hearing? It's possible that he's the Heir of the Slytherin because of what happened with the Sorting Hat, but then as soon as I thought that, Harry thought it as well! I'm just not sure! (hide spoiler)]

I do like how creepy it is.

(view spoiler)[I know, it's kind of crazy. And the voice obviously has something to do with it. He heard ot talking about blood before they found Mrs Norris. (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

(view spoiler)[ I know! Can't wait to see. (hide spoiler)]

How many do you wanna read today?

[C.P.]

Want to just say two more? So through 11?

[Meghan]

Sounds perfect to me!

[Mona]

hii I'm going to join you reading this I'm already at chapter 4

[Mona]

chapter2
(view spoiler)[
George & Fred always have a way to save the day. rescuing Harry and his luggage by picking the door was perfect. if it is not for Ron they will be my favorites. (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

Yay welcome!
I don't think I can read the two chapters today but if you did I can catch up tomorrow, CP

[Meghan]

I read chapter 10 before bed last night. (view spoiler)[ omg, it was Dobby all along like wow! I'm really wondering what's going on in the castle, though... it seems like the only person or thing who has the ability to Petrify is what came out of the Chamber of Secrets. (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

I was only able to read the one chapter as well.
(view spoiler)[Lockhart...I certainly wouldn't like all the bones removed from my arm. And we still don't know who Dobby's master is do we? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Oh my gosh, Lockhart is seriously annoying me hahaha. He's a phony! He can't do what he says he can, or at least that's what I think.
I wonder if Dobby's master is Lucius Malfoy. Can't wait to find out! (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Meghan wrote: "I read chapter 10 before bed last night. [spoilers removed]"

Exactly.

[Meghan]

Idk if I'll be able to read any today. Let me know!

[C.P.]

I don't think I'll be able to read either.

[Meghan]

Okie!

[Haley]

I would love to read this series before the year ends, but just wondering is this starting from book 1 and would I still be able to join?

[C.P.]

We were all starting with book two, not sure if someone else in the group might be reading the first one. But feel free to join us for book two! (And any others we decide to read.)

[Haley]

Okay thank you!!

[Meghan]

How many can you read today CP? I've already read two

[C.P.]

How much did you end up reading, Meghan? I shouldn't have a problem catching up tomorrow.

I got sick recently and was at a book conference the past couple if days, so that slowed me down. I should have time to read a bunch tomorrow though, so I can catch up with whatever you read. :)

[Meghan]

I only read two chapters and a little by on the next chapter. Not much. :)

[Meghan]

Hope you're feeling better!

[C.P.]

Thanks! I'll read those and some more today. How much do you want to read today?

[Meghan]

I'm not sure because I'm going bowling and stuff. I'll let you know later though! I can at least be able to finish that third chapter though.

[C.P.]

Ok. I will read those three and you can let me know of you read more. Have fun bowling!

[Meghan]

It'll just be those for today. Thanks!! :)
I'm gonna be reading a lot tomorrow because I'll be stuck at a Starbucks all afternoon (I'm going to a Marissa Meyer book signing, but leaving early so I don't hit the rush hour traffic because the signing it an hour away from where I live.)
Just so you know! Plus, I have a BR on the 17th and will need to finish this before then. :)

[C.P.]

Great. I am just about to read chapter 13. Have fun at the signing! Those are always fun. :)

[Meghan]

Thanks I'm super excited! I'll let you know how many I end up reading tomorrow too.

[C.P.]

Perfect. I just finished chapter 13.

(view spoiler)[Not smart using the diary like that, but I know I would have been just ad curious. But he can't just believe that Hagrid opened the chamber! (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

I read through chapter 15 for now.
So exciting!!

[C.P.]

Great! I should be able to read tonight, so just let me know if you read more.

Are you at your signing yet?

[Meghan]

Yes, it starts in around fifty minutes. And I probably won't read any more today!

[Meghan]

Do you wanna finish it today, CP? :)

[C.P.]

I will be at work most of the day, but can finish tomorrow. So if you want to finish today and I can finish tomorrow we can discuss it then. :)

[Meghan]

Okie doke! I may or may not finish it today. I'll definitely be done by the end of tomorrow, though. :)

[Meghan]

I just finished and see you did too!

[C.P.]

Yep! What did you think?

Ending spoilers. (view spoiler)[I thought it was a bit too quickly wrapped up. And of course Lockhart was a fraud. Glad he was able to set Dobby free! (hide spoiler)]
