I didn't know that I thought that you had to read along with one another. Good to know and I just might do that! Thanks!

I love recommendations! My TBR list will NEVER be too long!

I'm glad you recommend them because I got the whole series 1-7. Now I can't wait to start them!!!

Thanks Shannon! I have to find a way to make up the points we lost because of me. They all look like really good books.

Managed to get copies of Lilac Girls and all three July BOM books!

Just signed up for a buddy read of Turtles All the Way Down which starts June 28. It'll be my first buddy read ever.

Count me in for Team Ginny Weasley!

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.

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! 🙃🤪
