We did!?!?!?!? Wow Hufflepuff you did so good. We trailed the whole time but kept after it and it paid off. Professor Sprout was beaming today.

Great job badgers!

Brenda welcome!

Fee free to read and reread to your heart's content but it may not count here :)

Welcome Heather!!!

A new month, a new challenge. Lets do this Hufflepuffs!!!

Thanks! A little tip I learned from last year :-)"

This is so genius! Totally just borrowed.

1 more day Badgers!!! You are doing wonderful. Mount that broomstick and circle the arena!

Yes short stories count! They do have to be published separately however. So like an anthology would count as 1 book + total pages. But a number of small publications count each. Vanessa found some really good short reads on Amazon!

Yeah why not. If the text book is on GR then you can count it.

2 more days Badgers!!! Newt is stuck in his crazy amazing briefcase and it is up to us to bring him home safely. Read! Read like the wind and bring him home :)

Remember we only have till the end of Nov 1st to record any books that count for October. After that is is on to November.

Welcome to all the newbies! Jump in and join the discussion.

Just letting the team know that the I Survived the Great Chicago Fire, 1871 series is a good option. They are middle age, just over 100 pages, and are fictional accounts of actual disasters.

What is the best book you've gone through so far this month?
Which is your most memorable character?
Was there a story that didn't live up to your expectations?"

I think may I enjoyed The Way I Heard It the most out of any book. I really felt like I was sitting across the kitchen table listening to Mike talk about all those stories.

Most memorable character might be John Kelly from Without Remorse

Yes, I think Men In Blue was a disappointment. WEB Griffin writes a lot of pulp fiction about military and police so I thought this would be better. It was boring.

Lets go Hufflepuff! Professor Sprout is urging us on.

So the last book i read was 4 pages short of 500 pages. I was so close to 3 points i could almost taste it..."

I hear ya! I am listening to Debt of Honor listed at ..... 990 pages. Ugh!!! Seriously??? This book has so much fill its like c'mon Clancy you couldnt get another 10 pages?!?!

I have a request. I think all books Potterworld related should get at least a +.5. Even up for more depending on what you think. Since this is our theme and all I think it would be a good option.

"Yes currently in 1st place of Team Hufflepuff reading marathon we have our current No. 1 competitor, in the lead with a great score of 50+ points, JOOOHHNNNN"

**Jo..."
John stops and yells "accio headphones!" Seconds later John can be seen mounting his broomstick and flying to the 3 Broomsticks for butterbeer and a quiet corner.

Ravenclaw thinks they are going to beat us.... They have referred to us as "Hussle"puff so we are being noticed!!

Keep it up Badgers!!! Newt was about as smart as they come. Keep up the tradition.

Welcome Britt! Glad to have another Hufflepuff

Keep rocking it Badgers!!!! Staying loyal and true and kicking book pages along the way.
