Triwizard: Goblet of Fire Task 5 - The Maze - RAB with spider in the title

Lauri here for team Hermione! Just started this morning and it sucked me right in!

I was trying to read it too, but not for a task! Those epics are sure time consuming! It's interesting, I swear that book could be used as a doorstop - - or a weapon!

Aloha! I'm still going crazy here.... 🤓 I've been staying up waaayyy past my bedtime to read, getting up at 5:30 during the week to read before work & foregoing TV most nights. Too much fun!! I'm off on Thursday & Friday & plan to binge read some more!

I made my weekly pilgrimage to the library tonight and I found these books that I'd like to claim for Triwizard:

Order of the Phoenix Task 1 - Clean Up Headquarters
RAB with Pixies or Fairies
Every Which Way But Dead
Rachel has a pixie sidekick named Jenks!

Order of the Phoenix Task 3 - Get a New Professor
RAB with a predominately PINK cover
A Dose of Murder

Thanks Elen! I went back and checked my last 8 books & you were right! I did forget to add Homeplace to my TT shelf! I fixed it now. Good catch!

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....😳
