Hello everyone, Lina here. I am excited to be participating this year! I used to be pretty consistent and was once a prefect for one of the challenges but then life took some turns and I couldn’t dedicate as much time to reading. But I’m really looking forward to helping our house win this thing!
Reserving my spot!
Thank you so much! So excited for the challenge!
Oh! One question for clarification. The books that will count can’t be started prior to 10/1 - am I reading that correctly? Apologies again it has been a bit since I’ve participated. Thank you!
It’s been awhile since I participated but would like to do so! I will join Dorothy please.
Hi team! I’m so sorry I’m not sure if I will actually be able to participate!
Adding a comment to reserve my post! Let’s do this Team Pippin!
Yessss! Team Pippin for me please!
Updated post 15 finally, sorry for the delay! 11points for me, likely won't finish another book by Monday but we will see! Thank you!
Dang it, I didn't realize that the rule changed to only any books started after 10/1. Better get going!
Yayyyy! Happy day 1 everybody!! This will be my 4th year participating. It’s so much fun even if we don’t win, so do t stress. Looking forward to getting to know you all this go around!💎💎💎💎💎💎

Hello Winter House! New member here!! Better get to reading and listening!!
I would like to join Winter house please! I totally lost track of time and didn’t realize it was our house cup challenge already!
I was just coming back to see what our next quarter’s theme is, apologies if it is in the comments but can someone reshare it? I’m wrapping up my last book for Q2. 😊
Congratulations, Air team! It was a fun switch up to be with a different group of people this time although I also missed my fellow Ravenclaws. Thanks for always doing such a fun challenge!
