Awes..."
That's great you're joining us Nurul :) And this challenge can stay open and running as long as anyone needs to finish their goal! So, don't feel rushed...
The Bear and the Nightingale was my pick for Care of Magical Creatures, and it was such a great read! Packed full of ancient folklore - in some cultures, fae, in the context of the novel, household spirits and the like - it's a great fantasy novel with a fascinating heroine at center stage. Would definitely recommend!

The N.E.W.T challenge starts Aug. 1 at this thread:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
You can of course keep working on this challenge as well! And you can count the same book for a task in this O.W.L and then a task in the N.E.W.T challenge, if it fits!
