The Year of the Book: Hogwarts Reading Challenge

Since I'm flying through my Harry Potter books, I decided to sign up for this challenge too because it looked so darn awesome!

Hogwarts Reading Challenge - March 8 2010 to December 13 2010

In the Hogwarts Reading Challenge you are a student of the school. You will be sorted into houses. Each book you read must fit in to the subject of one the classes. You do not have to read books that fit all the subjects. Each book equals one point (toward the house cup).

You must read at least 5 books (audio books counts) before you are enter in to the drawing. At the end of the Challenge one person will win a $25 Amazon Gift Card and one house will win the House Cup (purely a pride thing).

First, I got sorted...
