Hi all,

Just to let you know that as I have an exam on Monday and one on Tuesday (plus work), I need time to study and prepare and do the exams. So, I won't be on much (or at all) for the next two days as I need to focus!

Wednesday - I'll be back and adjusting the spreadsheet as necessary.

If there's anything that you need an answer to right away, send me a message as I get emailed them and I check emails at least twice a day.

Happy reading!

For classes, I have a few books that can work for different things...I found that I had can definitely be used for yellow in Potions!

If Gone with the Wind is extended through to July- I’m in!

Wicked!

The second one is here and it starts on July 6th. I hope that's okay with everyone. We can get it started later if need be.

Nicole wrote: "Cool thanks Tina! For the BR’s do we need to contribute to the discussion to earn points?"

Yes, definitely for B.R. See this answer to Brooklyn's question

Yes, for B.O.M.'s as well. Try and participate in at least two DQ days. You can just say that you read ahead. Or is there's a question asking you what you think of this? Or what do you think will happen? You can say what you thought at the time or that you've read ahead so you can't say.

Ooooohhhhhhh I see what you mean. I never noticed! Eek! I've done it in past B.R. - oops D:

Thanks Kaley!

Kaley wrote: "Hey Tina you might wanna edit your comment because it has the spoilers written out (since it’s a reply they un-hid them from the tag)!"

Oh... I'm on my laptop and it's in a spoiler for me. Can you see what I've written even though it's in a spoiler tag? Is that because you're on the app on your phone? Bit confused

I'm not very good at deciding what's a spoiler or not. I'll edit!

Thanks mods!

Buddy Read for is up.

Link is here
Date start: July 6th

I've added that Tina, Nicole, Talia, Teri, Eunice are doing this buddy read. If I've missed someone, my apologies

Teri wrote: "My daughter read and liked it and I'm a fan of Scythe so I was going to read it, will it work for the Banishing Charm? Since it's an empty hand? I can push it back and rea..."

I'd say it works Teri. We could use a hand holding jewels/fruit/flowers/etc. I'll have a look and see if I can find a match.

Kaley wrote: "All finished!..."

I was glad as well but then I though that (view spoiler)[it would be hard on the child/ren without their parent. Perry would have had years of counseling ahead of him and probably no contact with his kids. Even though he was violent (probably stemming from being bullied as a young child), he still could have recovered eventually. It would have been hard on all. The kids would have to be made aware of domestic abuse and know the forms and not to do it. (hide spoiler)]

Thank you!

Tina wrote: "@ Mods, could we please get Crooked Kingdom set up as a B.R. for July 6th, pretty please?"

Mods - Can we still please get as an informal buddy read for July 6th? I think it got missed last time

Kaley wrote: "Ch. 57

Omg! [spoilers removed]"

I know! I didn't expect that at all. I knew she was doing something fishy under her dad's house. But, not THAT!

Oh! I've read two chapters for To Kill a Kingdom and put the book on hold for some reason. I can start whenever you want!

Brooklyn wrote: "I'm doing the buddy read for Red Rising.

How much interaction do I need to post? I've made comments on what I've read so far and replied to other posts. We are just getting starte..."

What I've been doing is commenting my thoughts into the discussion and replying to other's thoughts as well. People usually comment on my thoughts, as well. This way I will be sure that there's definitely a discussion going on and that I'm included

As long as the mods see you participating in the discussion in the B.O.M./B.R., they will count it.

They won't be fine with you saying "I liked it" and leaving it at that :P

Amanda is right but...

Here is what Sonia said in the mods group:

Q: The books read for this challenge can only be used for Quidditch and not for classes and spells as well?

A: Just for Quidditch. And the page book points. UNLESS chain is broken and since books can't be used for Quidditch...

I hope you two understand what's meant by the chain being broken - the chasers chain, I presume? I'll have to wrap my head around Quidditch sometime next week. But you two are a beater and a keep so I don't think it applies to you both
