A Million More Pages - Hogwarts: The Amazing Book Race

The Amazing Book Race hosted by A Million More Pages on Goodreads.

I started the 50 State Amazing book race with someone who had to pull out. Instead Sassafrass stepped in and is playing with me. She has also agreed to play this new edition of the challenge with me. The start is May 8th. Our round is called The Valley Of The Kings and our team name is: Sassy Janes.
Our route marker is










I have listed the books that I have read for the actual rounds at the bottom of this post. The way to earn a fast forward was to find 100 words in our books, I have not listed the books I have read for this part of the challenge but they can be found HERE and HERE

Welcome to The Amazing Book Race!

The Amazing Book Race is a AMMP Book Challenge in which teams of two people race around the world with Books in competition with other teams. Contestants strive to arrive first at "Book Stops" at the end of each leg of the race to win points and to avoid coming in last, which carries the possibility of elimination. Contestants travel to and within multiple countries in a variety of transportation modes, including airplanes, hot air balloons, helicopters, trucks, bicycles, taxicabs, cars, jeepneys, trains, buses, boats, and by foot. Clues provided in each leg lead the teams to the next destination or direct them to perform a task, either together or by a single member. These challenges are related in some manner to the country wherein they are located or its culture. Teams are progressively eliminated until two teams are left; at that point, the team that arrives first in the final leg is awarded the grand prize.
