John’s comments from the EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club group.

Ok finally got to update my books for November. I hate the new update that I can't edit posts from my phone.

Sorry, the holidays were so much lighter on the books being with family and all.

So proud of you House Hufflepuff!! Best group of people alive.

Frustrated because now I cant edit my book totals from my phone. Neither the app or the website will allow me. I will have to wait till I can get on a computer.

keeping it real!!

Updated my weekend reads :)
I am going to try and beat my Oct points.

Keep making Helga Hufflepuff proud!

Great job badgers!!! Madam Hootch is challenging us all to race the castle this weekend!

1) Favorite Potterworld book? why?
2) Least favorite Character?
3) Story scene you truly wish you were part of? (e.g. potions class, quidditch match, hanging at the Weasley house)

1) I enjoy them all but mine if definitely Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. But I also think #3 and #5 rank as awesome also.
2) So many to choose from: He who must not be named, Draco, Lucious, Dudley, Percy, but probably like so many Umbridge is the worst. At least the others know they are bad characters, but she was just crazy. I was also super disappointed in Mungus.
3) The Weasley home would be a fun place to hang out.

Thank you Bryce!

Love it. Right I would hope that I was a wizard in Potterworld and that would be a very interesting class.

I joined for the BOTM reading originally. I was very active in discussions the previous 2 years but this year I was determined to focus mainly on my personal TBR so I have not read along. I will eventually get back in.

Hogwarts Cup - I love it. My main suggestion is that Potterworld books should count for more points. Not sure about how much but at least +.5. I also agree that we could find some ways to keep interest piqued but not complicate it.

Got a couple of books in yesterday. Hopefully finish one today.

I really loved Stardust by him. It's actually one of my favorite..."

I did. I went through it earlier this year. I definitely liked it.

Beth, you are in time to count for Nov and Dec next month if you want. Any book you have read during this month you can count. So start a post and make sure to list any book you have read or any ones you read between now and the last day of the month.

Brenda wrote: "How's everyone's reading going? Has anyone read any great books? "

I just finished The Graveyard Book by Gaiman and it may be my favorite by him. Usually his books are so out there I have to do mental gymnastics to keep up with him, but this one has a really good blend of imagination and stayed closer to my sanity level haha.

Alright fellow Hufflepuffs, I am so proud of how awesome you are. I enjoy all your updates. If anyone is interested in more Hufflepuff friends chatting books feel free to post your openness to other housemates adding you.

I am open to more badgers!!! Feel free to add me.

Welcome to the family Jess and Dania!

I am expected her and you both to surpass me!!!

Have I mentioned how amazing Hufflepuff is?

Welcome everyone!

Ok Matt, this isn't the normal "discussion board" but let's toss out one book you liked/disliked that was contrary to the popular opinion?
