I finished this book a few minutes ago and I loved it. It was interesting to read more about Quidditch, especially as it really sounds like tons of fun in the books already - and now a history, rules, etc.? Awesome!

RELEASE NOTES:

Off to chich in France. I hope you will like it!

Another fun little book! I especially liked the section about "Ancient broom games" and the description of the ancient German game of Stichstock!

A very interesting and believable account of the evolution of the sport, a must have for all Potter fans. PMing alkaline-kiwi.

I'm very sorry to say that one unforesen circumstance after another has been delaying the posting of this book. I'll continue trying to post this out as soon as I can. I'm extremely sorry for the trouble.

Mailed off today. Sorry for the delay.

Journal Entry 14 by alkaline-kiwi from Auckland, Auckland Province New Zealand on Monday, November 6, 2006
Yay quidditch!

Sounds very fun in the books so will be interesting to read about it more in depth.

Will probably take these 2 books with me to read during my breaks at course tomorrow and show them to the Potter fans at my course.

Journal Entry 15 by alkaline-kiwi from Auckland, Auckland Province New Zealand on Tuesday, November 21, 2006
A very enjoyable quick read about the sport of Quidditch.

I enjoyed reading about the history of the game and the different teams in Britian and all over the world.

Will be sending off to the next participant of the ring soon. Will make another entry when I do.

Mailed off to azuki so they should reach her soon. Sorry for the delay in continuing the ring on.

Journal Entry 17 by wingAzukiwing from Miami, Florida USA on Monday, January 15, 2007
The bookplate is really nice and perfect for this book. I expect it to be bigger although, with these two books arriving along two other bookrings, I should be glad it isn't.
I have been wanting to read this so thanks so much Smurphie for sharing this, and to kiwi for passing it on!

Journal Entry 18 by wingAzukiwing from Miami, Florida USA on Thursday, February 1, 2007
Very much enjoying reading this book. I actually like it more than Fantastic Beasts. Thanks Smurphie again for sharing, I hope we have not invoked any curse for sharing this...
Book will be on its way to yokaye as soon as I visit the post office.

Journal Entry 19 by yokaye on Sunday, February 11, 2007
This arrived yesterday, thank you for the beautiful bookmark & card! :) I have two other bookring books that came along earlier in the week, but I should be able to get to this in a week or so. Of course I couldn't resist a peek...and I am really going to enjoy this, as is my 9yr old daughter! {LOVE the librarian's warning on the first page!}

Journal Entry 20 by yokaye on Wednesday, April 11, 2007
Sorry to have kept this so long! I really enjoyed this one...fascinating story of the golden snitch. My daughter and my hubby enjoyed these as well...thanks so much for starting this ring! :)

Will send out this week!

Journal Entry 21 by emmagoldmanzine from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA on Tuesday, May 1, 2007
The books have arrived. I'm finishing up one bookring book, have another to read and then will get to these (hopefully by the end of next week). I'm looking forward to reading them. Thanks Smurphie.

Journal Entry 22 by emmagoldmanzine from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA on Sunday, May 13, 2007
I read this one first. I really enjoyed it. I'm wondering if a big name Quidditch player would come to the United States and play in a struggling Quidditch league here (esp. if he brought his muggle wife and kids) if that would make Quidditch more popular here?

Fun book. Hoping to send it home soon.

Journal Entry 23 by smurphie from Banchory, Scotland United Kingdom on Saturday, May 19, 2007
They are home safe and well. They arrived this morning.

Thanks to all for taking part and to emmagoldmanzine for the postcard

Journal Entry 24 by smurphie from Banchory, Scotland United Kingdom on Wednesday, June 6, 2007

Impeccable timing. I've just seen the latest HP movie (No quidditch!), and the last book is due out tomorrow. One more sleep! I'm not obssessed . . .

Thanks for the postcard, Smurphie. I shall certainly send you one in return.

Journal Entry 28 by livrecache from Hobart, Tasmania Australia on Saturday, July 28, 2007
Way cool. I'll send the two books on to sobergirl in Finland. It' so timely that HP7 is all the rage. (I liked the msytical beat betterm but then I'm not a sports fan.)

Great fun, although I did like the companion book better. I guess I''m just not a sports nut.
