Announcement Hogwarts Reading Challenge 2012


Announcement Hogwarts Reading Challenge 2012

I am still working on the new challenge. The subjects will remain the same. So if you are like Hermione you will be able to start planning your reading list. Now, something new...in the books there ate mentions of different clubs and groups so this year you will be able to sign up to a club or group. I will be posting a sign up page soon. I can tell you that there will be quidditch teams, a music/choir club,a homework club, and others. Mini challenge theme announcement coming soon! Leave a comment if you would like to see a particular club.


Clubs:





  • You must have at least 3 classmates to be a club.

  • Books read for the club will have the same point value as a mini challenge book (10 points)

  • Books read for a club can also be listed under a class and mini challenges

Points:



  • each book is 1 point for the main challenge.

  • books read for the mini challenge is worth 10 points each (the minimum books to complete a mini challenge will vary this year), plus 15 points for each additional, plus 1 point if you also list it under a class *you must list this books under your classes I will not do it for you this year.

  • Harry Potter books are only worth 25 points. They can NOT be listed under your classes nor can they be used for any mini challenge.

  • Harry Potter related books are worth 15 points (example Tales of Beedle the Bard, Guides to Harry Potter, basically any book that has Harry Potter in its title or is about the Harry Potter world). The CAN be listed under your classes and for mini challenges.

  • 10 points for books read for a club *see above for points involving clubs

MIA 2...Yeah need another one

So I ended up disappearing again. This time it was because I got laid off. I, of course, had to go on an job search. It hasn't been a long search. I was lucky and found something fairly quick. Unfortunately, it pays less so I'm now having to get use to trying to figure out how to pay my overpriced rent and other bills. So there you have it. This is why I had to disappear again. Many changes this year but hey...that's life right.
