I use transit to commute to work and it is 1.5 hours each way. Plenty of time to read a good book.

Mending (whole crown)
If you want me to do this one I can. I have one that will fit and will get the max amount of points for pages.

I have a computer! The glorious light of the internet shines before me. On a side note I did finish Atlas Shrugged and am going to need therapy.

Just a quick update from my phone. My computer is officially dead. The plan is to go shopping for a new one next week sometime. I will batch post whatever I have finished then.

Morning!
• What are you looking forward to over the next week?
Maybe some sunny weather. It is June-vember in BC right now. I am wearing long sleeves and a coat to work

• What is your current read?
I have a few books on the go right now. I know I will finish at least 3 of them this week.
to defend against fae I am reading

For Transfiguration I am changing smoke to daggers


For Astronomy I have lost my mind and am reading this one. It will take me over a week. FYI Atlas is the name of one of the moons of saturn

For other books I found one on my shelves with a morter and pestle on the cover

• Is there anything you would like us to do to make things easier?
Nothing, your guys are doing great

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
