I can't view it, maybe is just for captains and co-captains¿?

right, not bad, and the R's can be covered by any Harry Potter book we read for BR =)

haha Melissa you live in the future, I live in the past =P

hahaha Cap with a Cape is a great idea!! And yes, the colors of their profile thumbnails are very very very similar.

The Challenge starts at 8pm for me, pretty convenient

I know U is a difficult letter, I have "Un mundo feliz" (Brave New World by Aldous Huxley) in my tbr, so I'll read it because there are tons of U's in spells. I can reread a book where a main character is called Uri too.

I'm a slow-ish reader btw

A tracking spreadsheet should be useful. I'll check my books and see what I can do for spelling

Hello from Flitwick.

hahaha I'm always the only one from south america

For me this is a totally new team, but that's fun, by participating in reading challenges we get to know people from everywhere and share our love for books =).
I participated in 3 UNO, WOBBLE and this will be my second TT, I really enjoy team challenges

This year though, my UNO team started great, but we lost teammates along the way, and some had reading slumps, so it wasn't easy, but still I had fun

I love historical fiction, but my favorite is Fantasy.
I always recommend The Neverending Story by Michael Ende it's a beautiful book

Where are you from?
Here in Chile is just 17:17 haha (GMT - 3 time zone)

I'm planning on reading this edition of the Philosopher's Stone for the Buddy read:

Hello!!
I'm super excited for TT, I participated last year too.

I'm Paula, I'm from Chile, I'm a 27 y-o Chemical Engineer, working in mining.
I love Harry Potter since I was 11, the last book came out when I was 17, so I practically grew up with the characters, Harry Potter is part of my life =)

One of my favorite Gilderoy Lockhart moments is Valentine's Day in book 2, it's just hilarious.

Also, my shelf: tower-teams-vi

Hi! I'm waiting for our thread to be open =)

Thanks!
I've read the first and second HP at least 10 times, I know lots of parts by heart (in spanish of course haha)
The others at least 4 times each

I don't quite understand how the buddy read works, do we have to have partners from another team or just participate in this thread?

I believe the spanish editions to be pretty good.

In spanish they didn't change the names of the houses, Hogwarts, spells or characters.

The only things they changed were Tom Marvolo Riddle's name, it change to Tom Sorvolo Ryddle in some editions, so it could spell
Soy Lord Voldemort in spanish.

And the mirror of Erised is called, Oesed (deseo is desire in spanish) and the thing it says in its frame (I show not your face but your heart's desire), of course, so it can be read in spanish too (Esto no es tu cara sino de tu corazón el deseo)

Hello!
I agree a couple of weeks in between challenges was enough hahaha, I'm ready for another challenge, I love doing this :D

I re read the HP books once every two years, now is the time for me =P, I'll read them in english this time though, I'm from Chile, so I read them in spanish, except for HP7, I read that one in english the first time because I couldn't wait 6 months for the translation

Yay!!
Team Gilderoy Lockhart here =P!

Hello, I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan, I don't know how many times I've read this one, but never in english, only in spanish, I have 5 different editions of The Philosopher's Stone =P,
One of them is the Harry Potter 20 Ravenclaw edition by Bloomsbury, I think I'll read that or my Scholastic hardcover edition for TT =)

Ravenclaw here!! Pretty excited for the theme =)!!!! Where do I sign up?
