    It took 4 months to finish PS and only 1 to finish CoS B) I think I'm getting the hang of this! Need to hit 179 for PoA, hoping to get there by the 4th of July.

    Well, I didn't make the 4th of July, but I did hit 179 this morning! Maybe I'll finish Goblet of Fire (164) by the 4th this year lol
