Michelle’s Comments (group member since Sep 19, 2013)

Michelle’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

It sounds like we can potentially use books finished in August for some of the other tri-wizard tasks, but let's proceed with the original list and try to get those books completed no later than 8/12. That will give us time to finish up the major characters (need those u's!) and work on other things.

Don't forget to check the Dungeon group for the maze books needed as well.

If any of you are reading a MPG of Realistic Fiction with odd number of pages, pop on over to our maze in the Dungeon and let us know!

Wish list and wishlist will count according to the thread in the captain's group. If you could grab that one I think it would be great. Also, I've wanted to read that book for a while so curious to hear what you think after you finish!

Jenny, I'm reading and it has birds on the cover, so slot me in for that task. I should finish this weekend since I'm listening to the audio.

The maze is live over in the Dungeon! Stop by and see if you have a book that will fit.

Currently looking for a contemporary main page genre with odd pages.

Sending all team members a PM to check in and grab tasks. I know Melissa is on vacation until 8/6 but she took books to read and can help with characters until she gets back to see what we still need.

If you don't want to read for a specific task, or can't, please let us know which character letters you can cover.

All letters remaining (145 total):
A - 11
C - 4
D - 8
E - 15
F - 2
I - 8
L - 19
M - 4
N - 11
O - 8
P - 4
R - 16
S - 9
T - 6
U - 14
Y - 6

I can do this one easily, but not sure on the books.

Task 2 - Silver and Opals
Read a book with a necklace on the cover

Read a book with 'Silver" in the title

Read a book "Curse" in the title

Read a book "opal" in the text

Jenny, I can definitely do cat on cover task. Let me look at the list for the tasks.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling

BR linked on sheet
870 pages

H, J, R, all the characters but using for Umbridge

Banked books are books we have completed prior to August 1st but not placed for classes or spells. We have used every book remaining for the characters so we are good there.

Anything you all finish tonight and tomorrow still goes towards the characters spell-outs. Anything we finish August 1st onwards can be used for TWT and characters.

We can shift around character letters as we get closer to the end, so read what you'd like outside of the specific tasks above but especially be on the lookout for R's, E's and U's. The U's are a big part of us finishing off those major characters so that will cost us points if we leave them open. I'll count through the letters in a bit and give us an update.

Done! Finished it off on my drive home tonight.

Harry was so mad at the end.
(view spoiler)[Dumbledore was patient in trying to explain it all to him, and while some of the rage Harry was showing had to be about his guilt and grief, I wonder how much of it was Voldermort's influence on him as well?
(hide spoiler)]
Loved the scene at Platform 9 3/4!

Wooo!

I’ll dig into the TWT details tonight. :)

Sorry I wasn’t around yesterday! Sunday is my super late shift in a Monday early shift. Heading to work now on no sleep.

TWT details are posted and we have a final quidditch match! Are you excited?

What questions do you have?

Yes, I hope we get TWT details soon. Once we see how close we are going to get we can decide for sure which characters to complete and which ones to skip. We are done with the 3 main characters and almost done with the major characters. We need tons of R's and E's.

Updated the letters needed list with yesterday's placements.
