Tri Wizard Tasks

126 - Read a book with "Three" in the title - Title includes 'Three'

I have one U book in queue, we still need one more right?

I agree! The tasks will fetch us more points with less number of books comparatively. So, if you guys can move things around for the characters and see if we can complete the half filled one's, we can maybe just focus on the tasks in the last 10 days!

I am sure you guys must have already thought of this, but just a suggestion!

OMG! We are just 715 points behind Moaning Myrtle - we have never been this close to overtake them - let's get off this wretched last position!

Got the three in the title book covered.

I am guessing we can consider this as a cover that is predominently pink! TinyEye weighs in favour of yellow, but I think otherwise. Thoughts?

Tri Wizard Tasks

53 - Read a book with time travel - The MCs travel between dimensions, across different times
96 - Read a book where there is a "rescue" - (view spoiler)[Paul was rescued by Marguerite through all the different dimensions. (hide spoiler)]
124 - Read a book with a number in the title - Ten and Thousand in the title.

Caps, can we exchange a book location to fit in another task or if it added to the main spreadsheet it is set in stone?

I finished a book yesterday which interestingly fits to Task 96, 'Read a book where there is a "rescue"' which currently has Paula's book. Now her book also works for Task 94 which is currently open in that group of 4, that way we can have two tasks completed out of the 4 in one go.

If not, not a biggie. The book works for other tasks and characters too.

Aren't they?!! I absolutely adore those covers!
Now, while I understand that they may not be similar in the conventional color-scheme way, but I am hoping someone agrees with them being same in a structural way.

Eh, I'm grasping at straws but why not! :P

I can do a green book, if you hit a wall in your search, Rebecca. Just holler!
