Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments If you've already read books 1-3 of the Potter series, please join Mandiann, Suzy, John, and me as we read the 4th one.


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments This is one of my favourite books. I love how we get a larger glimpse at the wizarding world.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'm really enjoying the series! So book 4 I can look even more forward to! Yay!


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'm starting this tomorrow (7/14) and plan to read about 50-57 pages a day so I can finish it by the end of July for my copycat challenge but I still want time to read my other books.

Are you ready to start? I know how behind you are and I am too but I do have to get his monster book done. LOL


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments LOL, no not even close but I have read this one many times so I can just skim it and catch up next week.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Ok I'm not sure when I'll start but it's my copycat book and it's big so I can't wait too long. Lol


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Lol, very true!! This is one of my favourites.

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I started this one today. I am audiobooking it.

Through the first five chapters. While I do love how Rowling always does a great reintroduction to the wizarding world so that any book can be picked up without reading the proceeding ones, I felt this one was a bit long. As always, I really love the foreshadowing. Chapter one was amazing with this. DO NOT READ IF READING BOOK FOR FIRST TIME!!! (view spoiler)


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I will be starting this tomorrow or possibly even Wednesday.


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Yay! I am listening to it slowly... on chapter 7.

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments Im starting this on the weekend. I didn't realise it was started already! audio book for this one


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments No worries...I have faith you will finish this before we start five.

I have 8 chapters left.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'm so sorry for being such a poor buddy this month! I won't give you all of my reasons, but please accept my apology.

I will be starting on this today...slowly. I was supposed to read it for a copycat challenge but ended up changing my book because I just couldn't get this one read on time. My bad!

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments I haven't started either so we can still get through it together


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I just finished. Sorry I didn`t wait for you guys.

I will come back and comment on your spoilers.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Mandiann, I (emphasis) am the one who is sorry! I've just had so much going on and so many books to read, when I picked up that monstrosity I didn't have it in me to read it yet. I kept choosing other books.

I'm glad you finished it! :o)


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I have other books I have been avoiding. since I have read this one before it is a comfort book and easy to pick up instead of other unknown entities.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Aha! Well, I will have to read it and just allow myself to enjoy rather than rush and force myself.

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments hey. I'm about half way through... finally. is there a start date we are thinking of for #5


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments anyrhing works for me.


Iulia (iuliagotbooks) | 9 comments 60% done... up till now I have no idea at all of who's the evil one. I have a few guesses, but the writing is 100% not predictable, which is great! Er... with the exception of one scene: the Goblet of Fire selection. I was pretty sure Harry was going to be part of the tournament, otherwise why would she write about the tournament? :P Nice try, JK Rowling.


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Vicki, have you finished this book yet?


Iulia (iuliagotbooks) | 9 comments I did and it was great :D

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments No, I never had a chance to because I had to take it back. I'm SO SORRY!!! I'll see if i can recheck it out now. I'ts been awhile so hopefully so. Can we set the next one out a bit? Please? I'll try to be a better buddy! LOL ("Try" being the operative word!) :o)

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments how about mid October?


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments How about mid-November, like Nov. 14? I am already booked with BRs in October.
