Michelle’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

The funniest part of this is I was looking for this post in the Prisoner thread yesterday, thought I had forgotten to submit or something, and posted later on in the book. Never even occurred to me I posted in the wrong thread.

Sometimes I'm a dork.

Just came through in the Captain's group:

BOM pages - Lilac Girls should be overridden to 512 pages!
Leah on the Offbeat should be overridden to 368 pages.

Good news for those who are reading the BOM. I have updated our team sheet for the Lilac Girls readers. :)

Excited to start this one, especially since I was not satisfied where we left things at the end of the first book.

Oh yeah, I am reading Azkaban now and we can use it for werewolves if needed.

Fun, Abbey! I loved helping at camps in the summer.

I’m reading Magic Bites now. So far there are vampires. And I found Stake & Eggs that we could use to fight it.

I think it’s pink.

Shoot!!! Omg. Sorry. I will delete and post in Prisoner.

We can use multiples for DADA too. So technically we could do 7 werewolf + silver books. 😀

So feel free to read those werewolf or vampire books! We can shift books as needed.

This helps a lot, thanks! I have finished up my other two books so I can focus on this one tomorrow. It seems to be a fast read.

I downloaded it to my Kobo but have a few others to finish up first.

Volunteering for DQs for Team Draco.

Me! In for DQs and Team Draco.

I'm in. I have it and I volunteer for DQs for Team Draco.

Me too, Joanne. I use my audios for running and my commute to work.

The trial of Buckbeak

(on audio so unsure of chapter)
(view spoiler)[Finally we get some idea of how Hermoine is everywhere at once. I swear, she's such a Ravenclaw!

And Lupin is so caring and supportive as a teacher. I love how he handles Snape when the marauder's map is discovered. (hide spoiler)]

I agree. I come to understand them just slightly by the end of the series, but it's surprising that they take him in every summer.

I agree. And you should read the Wallflowers series, too.

Yes, I can't go faster than 1.5, but usually I like 1.3 for audios. More like my natural reading speed.

Great job to our Quidditch players!! You guys were amazing.

I am headed back to work, but Jenny and I will fill in some of our classes over the next day or two and then we can see what specific books we still need.

Was a 5 Star read for me and can’t wait until I pick up the next one in the next day or so.

Definitely intrigued about the family connection.
