Hi all, Sorry I am a bit behind with reading this week as real life got in the way! Was at my Grandads Funeral on Thursday then my Mum took a nasty fall over the weekend and ended up in A&E. Luckily she is fine just badly bruised and home now resting. I've just had no time for reading.
• What is your current read?Catching up on what I haven't finished this week....
• Is there anything you would like us to do to make things easier?
Nothing springs to mind, your doing an ace job!

I can also pick up The Sun Is Also a Star for Astronomy if that works? All the copies are out at the library now so I’m not sure when I could start, but I’m first on the waitlist so I imagine it’ll be available sometime in the next week or so?
Happy birthday Samantha!• What are you looking forward to over the next week?
My anniversary is next weekend! My husband and I are celebrating six years. My book club also meets some time in the next week. We're reading Crazy Rich Asians and, while we do actually talk about the book, it's also an opportunity for all of us girls to get together and catch up (without kids for those members that have them!). And wine of course!
• What is your current read?
I have to finish my book club book. I'm also finishing Love and Other Consolation Prizes and I have Good as Gone out from the library.
• Is there anything you would like us to do to make things easier?
You guys are doing a great job! The posts with updates on to what we are still missing are really helpful. Thanks for all you do!
I finished Psychic Moon or astronomyI have In Sunshine or in Shadow: Short Stories, Volume 1 to defeat the Vampire

Remastering Jerna for a bare neck.I'm going to finish Harry Potter then listen to In Sunshine and read remastering at the same time

[boo..."2 Astronomy books and a potion book.
We're looking for a girl without a necklace to go with [bookcover:The Glittering Court|27272506] for banishing charm.
Your book will work for DADA - fae characters, we need a title with Iron to match it 🙂

Thank you for the sentiment Snowtulip.

Love the graphic.
That's one seriously sad face, if anyone has a book with someone smiling, laughing we have another match.

[bookcover:The Bowie Bride: Book Two of The Mackintoshes and McLarens|33974..."Thanks Jade, hopefully you'll have a better week this week.
I guess
wont work as its a guybtw, Quickening also had fae characters - I didn't think of as dark creatures so didn't mention...
• What are you looking forward to over the next week?My father, who lives in Vienna, will visit next week, and as I have not seen him till Christmas I'm really happy about this.
• What is your current read?
Still deciding between these 4 in the moment:

Ooohh, Final girls is a good one!
Louise, you said the book I read can count for fae creatures. which one were you talking about?
M wrote: "Louise, you said the book I read can count for fae creatures. which one were you talking about?"Either they both have Dark fae in them from the description,
Teresa wrote: "I guess wont work as its a guybtw, Quickening also had fae characters - I didn't think of as dark creatures so didn't mention..."
Unfortunately not. Also your astronomy book is more suited to our creature, we get 0.02points per page in Astronomy so we are trying to fill this with higher page counts, 500+ pgs gets us 10points or more.
Oh, I didn’t see anywhere where it said page count mattered... but however it works :)
Louise wrote: "M wrote: "Louise, you said the book I read can count for fae creatures. which one were you talking about?"Either they both have Dark fae in them from the description,"
OK, those two I read are a set for DADA. one about Banshee and one with the ability to combat them

Sorry M, I think we've got crossed wires, I meant this one
oh, I was going to use that one and it's sequel for banishing charm. One cover has a sword and the other doesn't.

Unfortunate..."
I think I had mentioned I could do The Sun Is Also a Star for Astronomy but that one isn’t a page count... so do you not want me to? Just making sure I’m aiming my reads at things we need :)
M wrote: "oh, I was going to use that one and it's sequel for banishing charm. One cover has a sword and the other doesn't."We have
for banishing charm we just need a book with a bare neck.

You can still read it for Spell out

It's not high on my want to read pile so if it has no specific benefit, I'll read something else for spell it out :)
Will this work for the History of Magic essay?The Good Daughter said to The Ruthless Gentleman, "This Is Me: Loving the Person You Are Today. There are A Million Little Things I want to do in this lifetime, but, In the Meantime, Becoming Mrs. Lockwood is what I want right now. By Book or By Crook, let's run away and get married." And so they did and they lived happily ever after.
I love it Sharon! And they get a HEA :)
Snowtulip wrote: "I love it Sharon! And they get a HEA :)"Well of course!! There's no other better ending :)
I love that! I was trying and failing to come up with anything good, so I'm glad someone else got it figured out so eloquently!

This is awesome Sharon!
We have lots of book read to be updated, I'll fill in what we have. I've also found a book to cover the last ingredient in potions. We are rocking 👍
Managed to finish both my books today :) will log them in now.
Just curious why the two books I read for ASTRONOMY are not showing up on the classes?
Abbie DiscoSuperFly wrote: "Just curious why the two books I read for ASTRONOMY are not showing up on the classes?"Astronomy is the only class where we are rewarded for higher page books. 0.02 point per page, I've slotted these in for Spells at the moment. We can move books around so will move the to Astronomy if we don't have higher page counts.
M , I am so glad you found a bare neck! I started reading a book for that and I just can’t get into it, now I can move on :D

Oh, okay, I did not know that.
Our first quidditch match is over, I will be completing a mass update on Saturday and post a weekly update on Sunday. Can I ask that all books are shelved and logged uptodate by Saturday, so that we can get an accurate overview.
I think I am finally emerging for this awful reading slump. I finished
a few days ago. Tonight I'm finishing
. Then onto something else. I don't know what yet. I will check out the classes and maybe I can find something in there. Also I'm a quarter of the way through
so that's something.

Did you end up liking Children of Blood and Bone?
I feel like I'm waiting for a lot of library holds right now, some that I am going to read for charms and divination...I hope they don't come all at once, like it seems they often do ;)
We need one more for Astronomy correct? I am just wondering does it need to have things like Sun, Moon, Star (general terms) in the title or can the name of an actual moon be in the title. example: Europa is a moon of Jupiter
Snowtulip wrote: "Hannah wrote: "I think I am finally emerging for this awful reading slump. I finished a few days ago. Tonight I'm finishing [bookcover:We Are Legion ..."I did!! Parts of it moved a little slower for me, but that was because I liked two of the POV characters better than the other.
