Thank you

I have a book I can read for Astronomy worth approx 23 points (over 1000 pages) going to start it today when I finish the one I am on

Just an FYI.
On the spread sheet DADA year 6 you have M listed as reading World war Z, that was not me

We need one more for Astronomy correct? I am just wondering does it need to have things like Sun, Moon, Star (general terms) in the title or can the name of an actual moon be in the title.
example: Europa is a moon of Jupiter

Either they both have Dark fae in them from the description,"

OK, those two I read are a set for DADA. one about Banshee and one with the ability to combat them

Louise, you said the book I read can count for fae creatures. which one were you talking about?

Happy Birthday!!!!!

• What are you looking forward to over the next week?
I am reading a lot this week. Astronomy, Potions, and maybe Charms

• What is your current read?


• Is there anything you would like us to do to make things easier
Would these covers work for Banishing charm? Character has a sword on one cover and it is missing on the other.
