Thanks for joining!
Joanna, Melanie signed up for Hufflepuff through our house thread and I wanted to make sure she got on your list too!
Zainab wrote: "I was thinking: since we are competing with Gryffindor this month, how about adding their final score (total books/members) next to our final score in message 2. Just so that we can get more compet..."Definitely, sounds fun :) Thank you for suggesting this!
Melanie wrote: "Can you add me to the roster?"Added!
Han wrote: "From now til October 1, do I have to do anything before starting the reading? Because I saw people commented reserved a lot. Thank you"No, there is nothing you have to do right now. Ravenclaw is keeping track a bit differently than us.
Jessica wrote: "Is it too late to b a Hufflepuff?"Definitely not too late, but we already have a Jessica in Hufflepuff, can we add an initial or something to your name so we know who is who?

Welcome to the 2018 Hogwarts House Cup Challenge! I'm Tori and along with Vrenzy we are the Hufflepuff house prefects. The challenge will run from October 1 to December 31 . To participate all you have to do is post any book you have finished, the number of pages, and the date you finished it in this thread! (I'm assuming we're all Hufflepuffs here, if you belong to another house please post your books on your house thread) Only books finished after October 1st count. You are welcome to join anytime even after the challenge has started. SCORING
1. Average books read per house participant will be the first method of scoring.
2. Total books read will be used as a tie breaker.
3. This challenge will feature a ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENT with each month featuring a matchup with a different house. To count for a matchup, the book must be read within that month and posted no later than one day after the end of the month. We will not do late term adjustments, but books read in an earlier month (no earlier than October) can still count toward your house’s overall total. The winner of the tournament will be featured in EHRTBM Hall of Fame.
4. There will also be an Overall winner featured in the EHRTBM Hall of Fame.
Vrenzy and I will keep track of how many books each member has read and give Qudditch ranks to the top readers. If you want to see how everyone in our house is doing check out the list below.
As mentioned above this is a round robin tournament. Our opponent for December is Ravenclaw.
I second Small Great Things and Memoirs of a Geisha
August 31
337 pages
September 3

If I recall correctly, one of the complications last year was an imbalance in..."I don't completely agree with assigning houses to people, but I do think we should make it more fair. Maybe we should divide the number of books read by house by number of house members?
I liked seeing what houses everyone got sorted in last year, and I don't think I'd be as motivated to read for, say, Gryffindor when I'd rather be representing (my house) Hufflepuff. Of course, I'm completely obsessed with Harry Potter so I might take house pride more seriously then most people in this group.
First let me say thank you Marcos and Joanna for stepping up and keeping this group going. Both of you have been doing a great job! I don't want to overload either of you, so I completely understand if you do not want to start this challenge up again, but last August Kasey started the Hogwarts House Cup Challenge. I believe Kasey also said that we could start it up again this year, but she didn't want to have it run the entire year. Is there any chance we can start it up again in September?
Stefania wrote: "Tori - we are just rereading Frankenstein now in August! You still have more than 2 weeks to catch up with it! :)"Thanks for letting everyone know! I should have mentioned the current buddy read going on with my nomination. I wanted to save Frankenstein because I like reading horror around Halloween. Just thought I'd nominate it in case anyone else feels the same.
I would like to nominate Frankenstein
I just got done reading this. (I happened to already reading it when the voting started) I really like reading true crime and it was interesting reading it in novel-style. I liked it a lot! I thought the part where he explains how the murders took place was scarier then a typical true crime story because of this style. It seemed like most of what Capote wrote was from Perry Smith's perspective. I haven't watched the movie, but is there a reason for this? Did Dick Hickock just not want to do interviews?

It looks like me and Cheryl have the same literary tastes! I usually go for a children's classic if I'm looking for a comfort read and The Secret Garden happens to be one of my favorites! I also like to reread the books I read when I was a child the Harry Potter books or anything by Roald Dahl .
Also, like Cheryl if I am in a reading slump I tend to turn to non-fiction to get me through it. They are easy to get back into even if you haven't picked it up in awhile. Two I have recently read and loved were Jim Henson: The Biography and Behemoth: The History of the Elephant in America
