My second reading challenge of 2023 is complete. I gave myself the added challenge this year of having zero overlap between any of the 4 challenges that I'm participating in, so these books are all unique to this challenge. Also, for this specific challenge, in celebration of Harry Potter, I made sure all of the books contained a magic aspect (magic ability, magic spell, magic creature).

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
