The Final NEWTs 🦎✨ // Week 4 Recap & Final Wrap Up

Starting Goodbye, Paris with a snack for the "Hagrid's Hut" challenge in the Care of Magical Creatures exam!

Y'ALL I DID IT! I'm not sure how I managed to pull it off but I finished all my NEWTs and I am officially a Hogwarts Professor, teaching Care of Magical Creatures! (I wish that was actually true, tbh 😉) It really got down to the wire at the end of August. I entered August 31st with two books still needing to be read. Luckily I was able to find audiobooks for both and spent pretty much the whole day listening to my final two books while working. Such a whirlwind, but I got it done!

I'm really happy with how my NEWTs went, and while I'm sad to see this version of the Magical Readathon get retired, I know that it's the right thing to do. G is going to put together something so much greater in the future for the Magical readathon, and I can't wait to see what that will be! See below for all of the books I got read in the final week of NEWTs, as well as my final stats and ratings for each book I read!

Shout out to audiobooks for saving my life at the end of NEWTs!
