Gryffindor's Beater


Our Beater is ready to do some damage, so Tammie has picked up Until the Sun Falls from the Sky, currently being read by Sandy.

Nothing can beat Gryffindor Chasers when they are aiming to score a goal. And they did it. GOAL Gryffindor.

Chaser Chain #8 completion:

Score: Hufflepuff 40 - Gryffindor 50

That rule applies to beaters when they want to read the book with the common word in the title.

The word from Mod:

Kindle editions and paperbacks and hardback copies often have varying lengths. The only requirement for Keeper books is that they read the same book. It doesn’t have to be the same edition. We can’t force someone to go buy the paperback if they want it on kindle, just like if someone already owns the paperback or hardback we aren’t going to make them buy the kindle edition. It’s up to the Keeper how they get the book. It could be Audible, hardback, paperback, kindle, library, whatever.

Keeper's book should be the same book what opposite team read, but editions can be different. Teddie is reading the paperback and you read Kindle edition. But the book is 100% the same.

EDIT: I can ask Teddie once again, what edition she reads.

Gryffindor's Chaisers are back on their brooms and are ready to score some goals.

Ten Things I Love About You - Teddie 6/24/18 [Read by Suzanne, Letter Q in Quaffle]

I finished! I really liked the book - writing style is beautiful, the story is well written and you want to read non stop. Yes, this story is not like Agatch Christie has, but it's more for nowadays kids :)

(view spoiler)[I wasn't expecting that at all. Cliffhanger is not cool, I need the second book asap!!
Dottie, Isla are dead because of two students... And they were somehow connected to Ellie. Are they her grandparents? I need answers!
Ellie murdered Hayes, that was unexpectable. Ellie - flower, artsy girl, but that kind of people are most likely murderers in reality.

David is Edward King son, but why he came to school at this point.

What do you think about ending? Girl and boy who murdered Dottie and Ilsa - most likely? Ellie? (hide spoiler)]

I really liked that this book mentioned some books, like Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes, Earthsea Cycle.

Geri wrote: "Elen, I read through chapter 26 last night. Interesting theories about David and Dottie! "

(view spoiler)[David and Stevie - at the beginning of the book they were teasing each other and after that I thought about them being together, but it doesn't work for me at all - ughh

Heyes was real people user - everyone did something for him - homework, project, test etc. That's not okay at all, but that was his charm.
