And here we thought it might be based on "matching word in title" rule. So I'm still defending w/the Cinderella Cook-Off one.

Beater Alysa is fixin' to get some grub at The Cinderella Cook-Off!

Beater Alysa gets Minx back on her broom, by finishing An Eye for Murder!

Team Who Must Not Be Named Beater Defense

Beater Alysa must have been confused by icebergs for a while, but now comes to Minx's defense with An Eye for Murder!

Success! Beater Alysa has finished Taking the Titanic. Seeker Rebecca continues to sail the frozen seas and skies!

Aha! Beater Alysa is attempting to stop those Magpies from distracting Seeker Rebecca as she tries to spot the snitch.
We may all be Taking the Titanic, but Alysa won't let the Good Ship TWMNBN go down without a fight!

Does your Seeker know that?
*evil laugh*

@Captains, are we doing a planning spreadsheet?

Jessi swoops in to finish Instinct: A Prehistoric Romance, and gets Donna back on her broom!

Alysa is back, so reserve Maddy can go out for some butterbeer.
For real this time!

Too bad Fred and George did not play quidditch with toilet seats that one time.

Hi again! Okay, I have some time left before I'm on again in Quidditch... but, any minute now... lol.

I'm Alysa, from NYC. Things are weird here but improving, if we're being general.
I'm a librarian in real life, doing basically collections management in an academic library. I read widely, but with majority Spec Fic (sci fi, fantasy, et al).

This will be my third Wheelathon, which -- after the last TT and of course due to my first ever NBRC team challenge having been Cutthroat -- I now consider to be a pretty chill challenge. Or at least, this new Wheelathon will be relatively chill for me, since I aim to rein in my infamous OCD competitive streak, and I am not captaining, and will try not to backseat captain so much. :D

ETA: nevermind! I am not back... I am still reading though and trying to figure out all the comments and jumped the gun.
Sorry!

Oh hai!
I will do a proper intro post soon, but about to go to sleep because QUIDDITCH. A reserve is coming to sub for me in, oh, 8 minutes. I'll be back online in about 6 hours. :D

I am down, but as for the date, maybe let’s wait to see when this Quidditch thing might be happening... Or maybe we can talk Cat into doing..."

Okay, how about 19 June for this zany back room Buddy Read?

Unless of course Cat wants to use her epic mod powers and just call it as a BOM, no democracy required, hehehehe....

Yes we should. Why not?"

If Cat wants to open noms for a July Back Room BOM, that would be excellent. Although, since it's for Wheel, there are sure to be many more noms and votes than usual, which means the tree sex book will likely not win.

So...
*toddles off to update Buddy Read Request Thread...*

@Jenny, maybe we can set a date for that Tree Sex BR, and then recommend it to EVERYONE ELSE. *evil*
