Congrats to Hufflepuff on their win. I wasn't at the match either but I could hear all of you cheering all the way up in Ravenclaw tower as well as Mr. Karkat's shall we say..colorful commentary.

Not that I really expect to have much time to do so I think that instead of studying over break I'll actually read for pleasure.
Is anyone reading anything exciting that they'd like to recommend?

Miss Thropp. I have certainly heard about you.

[elphaba_thropp]

Oh really? In what context sir?

[thecardswilltell]

Doctor, if you please.

Just that you're quite the bright mind.

[elphaba_thropp]

Thank you Doctor.
I do take my studies quite seriously.

[thecardswilltell]

You're welcome. And it's a good thing you do. Girl like you will go far.

[elphaba_thropp]

I hope so. I actually wish to work for the Ministry some day. I've interned for them last summer already so hopefully that will help get my foot in the door.

[thecardswilltell]

Big dreams, big dreams, I do like that, Miss Thropp, in a student. Hope that internship went well.

Not presently, though if you name a genre I may have a suggestion.

[elphaba_thropp]

I'm up for pretty much anything as long as it has a solid plot to it. I really dislike frivolous romances though.

[shellfishlovver]

I'm half tempted to award you points just for that comment.

The Rise and Fall of The Dark Arts is rather informative, if you haven't read it already that is.

GOD IS EVERYONE GOING TO █████ COMPLAIN?
PUT IN EARPLUGS NEXT █████ TIME.

ANY SPECIFIC GENRE YOU LIKE?

[elphaba_thropp]

I'm not complaining. I found it amusing they let you get away with it for the entirety of the game.

I like historical fiction, adventure and pretty much anything with a solid plot line. I don't care much for frivolous romances. But a romantic side story is fine.

[selfhatred]

GUESS THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS COMING.
I GUESS YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE MAKA'S ALREADY GOT ME █████ CENSORED TILL I CAN CONTROL MYSELF.
OR SOME █████.

...WELL THERE GOES ABOUT HALF OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST. I READ ROMANCES MORE THAN ANYTHING.

[elphaba_thropp]

Ah, so that's Maka's doing? I was wondering what that was.

Oh, I don't mind romances as long as they're not overly dramatic and actually have a good story to them.

Really? It must be really good if you read it that often.

What's it about?

It was quite the nice match! You should've been there, despite Mr. Vantas's sailor vocabulary it was very enjoyable.

I have a few books at home that might interest you that I no longer read, if you'd be interested. I could send them out when I go home for the holidays!
