There's a train on the cover. I was thinking that if we pair the train on this book with the boat on Bloodhounds by Peter Lovesey Bloodhounds we could use them for Transformation-change a train into a boat or vice versa.

Just realised I read 7 did Borgel actually still make it in? I just looked on arbookfind and it has 35,487 words.

DARN! They were really cute! Oh well...please don't feel that it was your fault! I should have checked before proceeding to read SIX books!!!

It's ok (well it's not ok but you know what I mean). I actually read all these as two anthologies. I thought I was being smart listing them as individual books instead of the anthologies. I also checked the word count on another website and they were +25,000 words but that's beside the point. Could we use them if I switched them over to the anthologies? It would give us the points for reading larger books and we could use the one book for the worm for Potions still. Let me know what you think... Here are the anthology books:
4 Fantastic Novels
5 Novels: Alan Mendelsohn The Boy From Mars, Slaves Of Spiegel, The Snarkout Boys And The Avocado Of Death, The Last Guru, Young Adult Novel

I'll delete them off my Tower shelf. Sorry I screwed up and let everyone down. I hope we didn't get penalised.

Morgan I hope that cold isn’t still kicking your butt! Hope you’re feeling better! 🙃🤪

Two murders occur in the book.

I’m up for whatever you need me to do. I’m probably not a good one anything to involved as I can’t always check my phone for messages. I’m happy to do it! Sounds like fun!

Hi Maritza, back at you! Have fun today reading I’m off to work...

I had a feeling that I had read that somewhere about the buddy reads-bummer! Oh well maybe I can still join the big br that’s going on.

Ugh colds are never good and you’re right the weather doesn’t help probably. I hope you can get some rest and that you feel better soon!

Donna, I’d love to reread the HP books and since you’ve never read them maybe we could buddy read them? I’m not sure though if you can do a BR with a teammate

I might be able to do quidditch but I don’t want to do anything too too involved. I think there’s a position that spells words. I could probably do that.

Morgan, are you feeling any better?
