That might be a good idea. My book I finished was only 222.

Forgot about the pages for Astronomy. I’ll read the largest one first.

No, it’s for sure ok to use it from 2 different readers. We will be good there!

Done!

I truly loved Garrett and Ethan. I’m glad the connection to the Ravenels is out in the open, although it wasn’t really a secret.

So excited about West’s love story, too!

“I prefer you to everything.” Pardon me while I swoon over here. Damn. I love him.

Just starting chapter 11.

For man wearing a shirt, which do you think might be better:
or

I was thinking the second one since the head is cut off with both.
Or this one...
taking off the shirt.

Started my yellow book this morning:

and reading a pink cover now:


Also, I have a book with moon in the title to read for Astronomy
but can also read if we need another. Or a re-read of

I’m finally home and have the day off tomorrow. Jenny has been great about moving things around to help us finish our spells. I’ll take a look after dinner and post what we still need. A few astronomy books, a few U’s, and some potions for sure. I’m reading a pink book now and have another yellow one next for that.

Chapter 28:
I had completely forgotten about (view spoiler)[ how badly bullied Hermione was because of the Witch Weekly articles about her and Harry. The mean letters, the howlers, the curses. Then Krum pulling Harry aside and then they find Crouch! I had blanked on all of that. (hide spoiler)]

Annalise, the Bridgertons are my all time favorite historical romance series. I love them!

As I read about the tri-wizard tourney, I can’t wait for ours!

Seriously excited to see what the mods have in store for us.

Anxiously awaiting the details!!

I’m working all day today. It’s going to be so busy with the holiday traffic!

I love it so far, but no surprise there. Garrett is awesome.

I loved the fencing lesson. I’m to the part where she’s is telling Helen about it over tea.

Oh good! I was waiting for you, Snowtulip. I’ll start tonight.

Laura, I completely agree. But I think it was exactly what you said - their long-standing relationship helped her to understand him.

Annalisa, if you read it a bit later I'll still come back to chat. I adore Julia Quinn.

Also, having sat through many Smythe-Smith musicales in the Bridgerton books, I love getting a "behind the scenes" glimpse into the girls' thoughts and participation.

I really love Honoria. When I first started reading I wasn't sure how much I was going to like her, but as the book went on I really came to love her.

Same for her mother. I'll spoiler just in case. (maybe about the halfway point for this part)
(view spoiler)[When Honoria said they needed to go to Marcus, and they were leaving in an hour, her mom quickly rose to the occasion. But when she stepped up and helped nurse his leg wound, I knew there was more to her mom then we had seen so far. It got her out of her fog and I think it made her feel useful. Plus, I'm sure she could see they loved each other, even though they were a bit blind to it at that point. (hide spoiler)]

So that's what we are going to do.

SPOILER ALERT FOR GOBLET OF FIRE. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If you recall, tri-..."

Will the Tri-Wizard details be posting today? Very excited to see what is ahead for the final month!
