Hi All!

Does anyone have a preference of one option over another? Spell it out?

Me too please!

Hoping to have a countdown clock ready soon. Still nailing down times. Someone has t..."

Thanks Shannon!

Thanks Jenny. What timezone are we following?

Does anyone know what time this match will actually end? Is there a countdown timer or something?

Hufflepuff Keeper Player swap/Line change

Letting you all know that Tina (me) will be replacing Amanda as Keeper for at least 48 hours

Sounds good Amanda!

I'd say No to articles, Brooklyn
Amazon/Kindle should have some free books if you are stuck with finding some.
iBooks also has free young adult books too (they're mostly the same as Kindle)

Teri - Don't worry about the maze! Talia and I have been reading books for it since Quidditch started. Which has actually worked well. When everyone is asleep, I'm awake due to my timezone and can read books without having to be quick about it!
And Amanda can replace me (if she can) if/when I replace her as Keeper for Quidditch.

It's actually good that we have the rest of the team helping to fill out characters and the tasks!

I did notice though Teri, that for Task 3 in books 1, it says "Each book must be read by different team member". I think we will need to replace the first book that you've put down - The Stranger Inside. Someone other than Talia, Zee and Teri will have to read a book that ends with 'Inside'

Thanks Diane!!

Someone could message the NBRC travel agent account to remind/let them know we sort of have a team ?

It has been a few months of people express interest for this

The Tower Team challenge may be higher on their priority list right now :P

All good Brooklyn. I took down the book I chose. I'll fill in the last square when you've settled on a book

I know a few of you have read the Kate Daniels Series.

The 10th book is the 3rd BOM book for August. It starts on August 28th.

4 other teams have volunteered to be a discussion leader so I think we'd have a good change at getting a spot if someone here volunteers.
If you're keen, try and volunteer before August 20th.

If you're worried about what questions to ask, I'm sure we can help you think of some.

The discussion page is here

Thanks Karishma and Brooklyn!

I've added you to the official spreadsheet for the BOM, Brooklyn. It seems like an easy read

DQ: Part Three (P.243 to end)

1. How are we feeling so far? I know at this point, I was 100% invested in this story and totally annoyed that I had little to no answers thus far. How about you? Do you love the mystery? Is it driving you nutty? Have you thrown the book?

I wasn't that interested in it. I do like mystery but this was alright

2. Mark. Mark. Mark. Personally, I hated him the first moment he was mentioned. He just struck me as phony. Now, that you've really had a chance to get the full brunt of his story- how do you feel about him? Innocent bystander that was sucked in? Man in love/lust? Or did he deserve alllll the things that come his way?

Ugh, I didn't really care about him. Didn't believe the things about him and Katie. I think he is weak and he's feeling sorry for himself. He was the adult in the relationship and should have kept it in his pants. Total abuse of power

3. Let's talk Robbie Cannon for a moment. Jules has quite the revelation in this part of the book. Did you feel it was needed for the story?

Not really. It doesn't seem to change much does it? I found it weird that it was included and then nothing happened with that. Why didn't she tell Lena about their relationship (Lena and Mark's). If she did, I'd understand that inclusion.

4. This book, much like Girl on the Train has a whole mess of fantastic female characters. Did you have a favorite? (Team Lena here! )

Lena for me too! I couldn't stand anyone else except Nicki

5. Erin seems to be completely blindsided by the twists and turns of this case. If this was you, would you continue to be a police officer/detective or run for the hills?

I'd do what ever was best for me :P

6. And now, the biggest question of all, did you see that ending coming? I was 100% shocked and am still recovering even two weeks after finishing this book.

I sort of did. I thought it was weird that Patrick took the blame for everything

@Sarah - I agree! I wonder what happened to Mark after they found Lena

What about characters? What are the character names for the books?

You can leave them if you want and I can sort through them onthe weekend. I vaguely remember what happened in them from when I read them a while ago.
