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

This was a really engrossing read, I didn't want to put it down! I agree that it was easier to connect with the older generations, but I think it was because we saw them go through such hardships. I thought the younger generations showed how resilient humans can be. Not that they didn't have hardships of their own, but their lives were much more comfortable than their parents/grandparents lives. A lot of their troubles seem almost trivial to what was happening only a generation before when everything felt like a life or death decision.

To everyone in the US, Happy Thanksgiving! I'll be spending all day tomorrow with my family, so I don't think I'll be able to update. I'm interested to see who is slowed down by the holiday and who got some major reading in during their travels (or just by avoiding their families).

Bonus fun fact: Han just reached 100 books overall in this challenge! Congrats, and I'm so glad you were sorted into Hufflepuff.

We are doing great! A lot of Slytherin's top October readers haven't been posting as much for November so far. I don't know if they're not reading as much or if they are going to pop up and add 20 books at once. But, you guys are amazing let's keep this up!

Hey everyone!

I haven't been posting the daily updated averages like I was last month because Slytherin doesn't update daily. If you would like me to start doing that again I can, just know that Slytherin's average may not be accurate.

Anyway, we are doing great! We've really stepped up our game since last month. Especially some of you who have been posting daily (and most the time with multiple books!) Thanks Sarina, John, and Han! and everyone else who has participated so far this month!

So I'm a hufflepuff and avid reader, and I'd definitely love to take part in this challenge. Can I still jump in ?"

Definitely! Make sure to sign up in the main thread too. Post any books you've finished since October 1st here. (With dates please, I need to keep Novembers score separate) Welcome to Hufflepuff!

Basak - If you listen to an audiobook just go with the page count of the most popular edition (default edition) of that book here on goodreads. So Anna Karenina would be 964 pages.

Side note - How'd you finish so fast!? I'm only 7 hours into that 40 hour monster! :) Way to go!
