Secret Garden is wonderful. I’ve also read all the Harry Potter books.

I read Secret Garden and watched the movie more than once. Love it! I haven’t been interested in reading the Harry Potter books, did you enjoy them all?

Sigh. I have read only one on this list (Secret Garden). On a positive note, I finished reading Persuasion and Far From the Madding Crowd. Perhaps I should look for Cold Comfort Farm next!
