In addition to my other books I am reading, I just got The Brothers Karamazov from the library, which I had on hold for another groups book of the month last month. I had no idea it was 1,100 pages. That will take me a while, and I won't even start it until I finish Closer by Roderick Gordon.
In the mean time, Two more for Gryffindor!


WOAH so many books, having a hard time keeping up. Keep posting, folks!! will be away for most of the weekend so likely won't update totals until next week, but keep 'em coming.
Current tally below:
Ravenclaw: 415 house points, 47 witches and wizards
Slytherin: 356 house points, 30 witches and wizards
Gryffindor: 267 house points, 24 witches and wizards
Hufflepuff: 261 house points, 34 witches and wizards
Also... pretty sure my patronus was a field mouse. THAT'S embarrassing...

Never forget, though, that one of the most famous Patronuses of all time was a lowly mouse, which belonged to a legendary young wizard called Illyius, who used it to hold off an attack from an army of Dementors single-handedly. While a rare and magical Patronus undoubtedly reflects an unusual personality, it does not follow that it is more powerful, or will enjoy greater success at defending its caster.

9/29 How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age by Dale Carnegie
10/8 The Whistler by John Grisham

Patronus is a Chestnut Mare and wand is Redwood wood with a Unicorn hair core 14 1/2 inches and hard flexibility.
