I tend to believe that Sheila is competent enough. After all, she's looking for more resources than are available at the moment.Narcissa's attempt was meant to be humorous, so I'm glad you caught the joke.I'm not sure just what books the two of them purchased, but Hermione would have been judicious in her choices. After all, she does know Muggles. A lot of Jules Verne's stories have become science fact over the years, but I imagine they would have purchased his more mundane stories such as "Around the World in Eighty Days". A good teacher would stress the point that what the students are reading is FICTION, not fact. Of course, that was the point of Hermione going along on the shopping trip.Severus won't be cooped up much longer, I promise. ^_^

What's wrong with the ones I've listed before this, hmmm? I'm sure you've read LotM, aka Jean Johnson, haven't you? If not, she's got some stories here on TPP. Go look them up. *grin* As you can tell, I like the classics and fantasies. I've read all these authors and collect some of their books for my own shelves. ^_^

Of course I have!I just remember there being a chapter where I had to google one or two authors.  :)

*grin* What can I say? I like to read, and the last time I checked my database, I had a little over 3,000 books listed as part of my library (not counting the ebooks). ^_^

The books can be found at a library, bookstore, or even a used bookstore. And yes, I'm pimping J.D. Robb because I really like the books. ^_^

I must've been half asleep to have typed "and other" instead of "another".

That's okay. I understood what you meant. ^_^
