Thank you Calvin, I'll investigate
You can put down 6 books for Slytherin! Gone With the Wind, Station Eleven, Rebecca, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Three Men in a Boat, and Corelli's Mandolin.
Hope I can still join!I've always thought I was a Ravenclaw, but I just took the test again and got Gryffindor. I guess that's character development! Anyway, I'll join Gryffindor for this challenge.

Slytherin!
I just read my most recent book specifically to read The third death of the little clay dog by Kat Richardson. I enjoyed the story, but you really need to read the Greywalker series to appreciate it. They just jump in without giving you characters necessary background information.For GRYFFINDOR:
Mean Streets

1. Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape by Jenna Miscavige Hill2. Read date: 10/8/17
3. Hufflepuff
Ok, my patronus is a salmon (I don't know what to think of that) and my wand is Elm wood with a phoeanix feather core (is that good?)
Two more for Gryffindor!
I imagine wants are what you make it then and how they fit your personality. I personally like the Phoenix feather.
This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike.
Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.
Elm
The unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, for I have known perfect matches of elm wands who are Muggle-borns. The truth is that elm wands prefer owners with presence, magical dexterity and a certain native dignity. Of all wand woods, elm, in my experience, produces the fewest accidents, the least foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these are sophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands (which, again, makes it highly desirable to those who espouse the pure-blood philosophy).
My patronus is a Pine Marten and my wand is Maple wood with a Unicorn hair core 10 ¾" and Pliant flexibility
My wand is pine wood with a dragon heartstring core, 12 ½" and hard flexibility and my Patronus is an Irish Wolfhound.

I'm a Gryffindor. My patronus is a rag doll cat. My wand is cedar wood with a unicorn hair core, 10" and brittle flexibility.
