Team Tom Riddle
@Ora - We'll be able to use banked books for part of the TriWizard Tournament, so definitely keep adding information. We're not sure what kinds of tasks we will be given for those.@Brandy - I have Oracle's Moon in for Astronomy already! :) We have all the books we need we're just trying to replace some of the shorter books to squeeze another few points out of it.
I just updated my post with characters and page count.
Are there any tasks that need to be read for? I am just about finished listening to an audio for another challenge and then figure out what buddy read or BOM that I am going to listen to.
I think I will try to read/listen to Pandora's Star which has 768 pages. so hopefully this will work.

Hi all, Sorry I've been so quiet. I read Harry Potter #4 from July 1 through July 4 and have been feeling very depressed. (So it took me four days to read this book. It's never taken that long before, I don't think.)I'm feeling depressed because this time through it, I know EXACTLY who all dies in books five through seven. So going forward in this series, I am not going to read along to the audio editions. I'm just going to listen. Hopefully listening at 1.5x or 2x speed will help me get through them without winding up in a slump after I finish them.

If our Astronomy books are worth more depending on how long they are then I'm about to start The Last Star by Rick Yancey which is 338 pages. So we could replace one of our shorter books with it once I'm finished.
