Edited to insert Quaffle # and link to post it was used

Hufflepuff Keeper Suzanne broke the Quaffle - sad that she probably won't have to read about physics or the ethics or religion since the snitch has been spotted. And possibly more sad she won't get to read Lead.

Suzanne read Fall of Night which was read by Shannon for F.

Congratulations Gryffindors!

A well played match and a hard earned victory!

Nice work everyone!

This was a great game all around. A pleasure to play with and against you all!

Well played match (to both teams). We had a blast playing against team Hufflepuff. You made us work for every point and we loved it!

This match was tough and so much fun - great game!

Well done - whew - what a game!

Wow, that was an intense reading game.

And god only knows what Amazon is going to be recommending to me based on prior purchases/KU downloads. So thank you ;)

LOL The author of Kadin probably thinks she has a huge fan base because of us!!!
