Triwizard: Half Blood Prince Task 2 - Silver and Opals
RAB with "opal" in the text
How it fits: opal is found on page 181!

Hello everyone! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

I just finished a book & found it has opal in the text! I would like to claim that for Triwizard, please! It's Half Blood Prince Task 2 - Silver and Opals
RAB with "opal" in the text!

I'm off to add it to our books read thread! Could someone please add it to the planning thread for me? I finished today 8/12/18...

Also I noticed my Death Without Company is listed on 2 places on the TWT planning spreadsheet. I know it can only count once, so if you could please remove the 2nd entry ( Prisoner of Azkaban Task 5 - Defeat Dementors)

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Could one of our captains or another lovely teammate put me down for another TWT task please?
I'd like to claim #112 - Half Blood Prince, task #3 The Unbreakable Vow. RAB where someone protects someone else.
I have Shakespeare's Champion. MC Lily steps into a fight where a bunch of guys are beating up a black boy.


I appreciate all of you!

I really want to help with the maze, but I can't read that fast! Well, I can, but that work thing just gets in the way! I'm actually reading an epic right now, but it has 400+ pages & would probably take me a week to complete! Which is why I stayed away from Quidditch completely!

I think I'd better stick with TWT tasks....😳

Sarah, I've been checking the Maze thread, but don't quite understand it. I would love to help out there, but don't know how to go about it...

Triwizard: Sorcerer's Stone #5-Mirror of Erised: RAB with someone who has their hands in their pocket on the cover. Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Dearest Captains, I just noticed that I'm down for Chamber of Secrets Task #3 - Take Polyjuice Potion - RAB with something to drink on the cover. I originally was going for CAT on the cover. I see that there is an overturned wineglass on there too, but most of the wine has spilled. If y'all think it's okay, go ahead & leave it as is, but I don't want us to get dinged for an almost empty glass.
And Then There Were Nuns


Also please put me down for Socerer's Stone Task #4 - Devil's Snare - RAB with a predominately green cover. Elen checked Tineye for me & my book A is for Alibi qualifies!


I'll be finished with all my books by this weekend!

Your trip sounds like a blast, Vicki! Don't feel bad, sometimes after just one day at work I come back to our team thread & I get a headache just trying to think things through!

Right now I would say just check out the Planning Spreadsheet & see if you have books to match any tasks, especially in Book 2 - Chamber of Secrets. We have Tasks 2 & 3 covered, but need to do one more. Try I see if you can do tasks where people have already called some books. Maybe Task 5 - Fight a Basilisk because there are already 2 books in that section... But it all comes down to what you can read in a week or so.
