The books that aren't in bold or underlined are for you to sort out into classes. If not, then yes highlight in pink.

You can go through all your books if you want... if you have time. It's not necessary though.

Yes, can you put that book in for the uses? That's all we need for Care of Magical Creatures. Teri and I just need to start/finish our books to describe the creature.

**ANNOUNCEMENT**

Hi all. I hope your reading is going well.

Halli and I are wanting to organise the books that you've read but haven't been put into spells and classes.

You can see on the Official Spreadsheet we have put the books in the 'Books' tab in bold for spells and underlined ones that have been used for classes. You can use this to see if the books you've read, have been sorted.
Where you originally put your book in our planning spreadsheet, may have been moved somewhere else in the official spreadsheet.

**TASK**
If you could all please go through all the books you've read and put them into classes first (if they fit). If they don't, please highlight in pink (in the 'add your books here tab' in the planning spreadsheet) so we can sort them into spells.
We'd also appreciate you writing all the appropriate letters for books in the 'Add your book here' tab in the planning spreadsheet so we can match appropriately to spells. This includes character names and series titles.

I'm asking this because it will be easier on Halli and me to match the books you've read to the appropriate classes. We can't see all book covers, or know the plot of all books and the character names.

I have my exams on Monday and Tuesday so I might not be on as much because I should be studying and not getting distracted by Goodreads so much.

So, could you all have done this before Sunday 10th of June? You can let us know when you've sorted your books by posting here. If you need more time (like our Quidditch players might), let us know.

We would really appreciate it.

P.S. Charms and Transfiguration - for one task to count, two people need to complete it e.g. two people to read a book each to complete the mending charm.

P.P.S. If you want a book moved from spells to classes and vice versa, let us know that you've moved it so we can adjust on the official spreadsheet.

Thanks guys!!

Thanks Eunice and Teri.

Also, I plan to do the Red Rising BR. I just got the book from the library."

Thanks for the heads up Brooklyn!

Amazing! Thank you Brooklyn!

You guys have no idea how useful it is when you post your books here with all the details.

I listened to the audio version of this a month or so ago and would have loved to read this with you all. Ah well.

I found them quite interesting and am sure you all will have a lot to talk about!

Ohhhhhh I didn't know he had written Aristotle and Dante! I've been meaning to read that book for a while

Finished!

Sounds good Heather! Let us know if you get stuck

Yup. I would say so.

Yeah I thought of that last night.
I did some investigating in other teams (sneaky) and found that no one else has used sky/skies. So, we will have to find another two books for Astronomy

That would be great Amanda! I don't really know how long it will take me to read my book. I have so many lined up in June

Ah I thought Galatea was a novel but I see it's a short story

My mistake
