I bit the bullet and finished a second one since I was only two books away and it seemed silly not to. I hunted down some manga with the needed letters and was able to knock them out quick quick :)In the same message as my previous one! Message 7!

OK, who's this guy with a fifth challenge??Well, well... it happens to be me!! :-)
I just got enthusiastic about this one and since I had to read a lot of books for the Hogwarts challenge, I carefully picked the letters. Also, I was motivated / provoked by the great reader Barbara, the first to complete a fourth challenge. :-)
I managed to complete the challenge! It was a very close one though, I finished my last book only a couple of hours before midnight.Happy new year everyone!
Excellent, Quinty!! And you had to read four books in the final print! Very wll done!
