Oh Cool. I think I'll join in after Red Sister

If the dark creatures don't have to be from the HP universe, I can read Dead as a Doornail for vampires."

Well done Eunice!

And yes, you can.

Thanks Talia! You're the best ;D

@Karishma and Teri - We had a few more answers to the alien thing and basically:
Anything that is dark and twisted as long as it has a supernatural element
Aliens aren't really supernatural, are they? I think we will leave this as Karen wasn't sold on aliens being a dark art.
We'd get point deducted if they don't agree with our choices for classes

Coolies!

@ Mods - could we please have an informal buddy read for The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle for June 23rd? Many thanks

What about the 23rd of June? I'm happy to push it into July

Okay we've had three replies, we can use the book for DADA if someone reads a book with aliens in it. We can also use it for Potions as an indigo colour.

Oh thanks Abbie! What time would suit you most? I feel like this will take me a few days to read

All good Teri!

Teri wrote: "okay, sorry again for so many questions...I was thinking of reading The Hideaway and this whole series takes place in Lavender Shores (it is the series name) --would this count for ..."

I've added Lavender Shores as the location for our creature. We could use any place that's mentioned in a book really.

History of Magic I think we can leave to the last minute as whatever books we haven't added in to spells or other classes, we can try and make it work with History of Magic. Then write a story using the titles.

It doesn't look like fire or smoke to make a fire. We could use the locket and transform it to a shell or a rock or something like that though. If

Hmmm... It would work if Aliens were considered as a dark art or a creature. I don't think they are as they're not in the H.P. universe. I've asked the captains on their take on this so I will get back to you with an answer

Circe..."

I have to admit I think he's actually right not necessarily that it's better for her than the way she was but more that it's better than the alternative, that Circe ha..."

Aeente's take on Circe's powers was interesting to me as well. (view spoiler)[The Gods and their offspring tend to do what they want with no regard to others so I feel like if Circe gave the flowers to reveal a nymphs, or someone's 'true form', most would have something 'ugly' on them. Not all mortals are perfect and the same is definitely with all Gods and such (hide spoiler)]

I've read up to chapter 7.

(view spoiler)[I like how this book has the Titans in it. Most books are from the Olympians side and they view the Titans as the evil ones. The Titan-Olympian relationship and view seem to be spot on so far. The re-telling of how they came to be seems in line with the myths so far, which I appreciate. I read Antigoddess by Kendare Blake the past week and was severely disappointed in the portrayal of the Olympians. So, I'm happy with Circe so far.
I must admit, I'm not too familiar with Circe. I'm curious to see where this version of Circe will take us. For one, I wasn't aware of her family. I know mostly about who she is after she's put on the island, not before. (hide spoiler)]

I am going to post the info in the books read thread shortly."

Well done Heather!

We all understand how demanding R.L. can be so no worries

Teri wrote: "I'm joining the Six of Crows BR and the Thunderhead, I just didn't know if you needed that info for spreadsheets and whatnot"

All added in Teri.

As for Onyx, I think the amulet would work better in Defense Against the Dark Arts as a defense. What is the amulet providing protection from?

I'm so happy that I was able to finally join a team! I've participated in the previous two tower teams and somehow I missed the memo that the new one was starting.

We're happy to have you here Jodie!

With the books that you've read since May 12, could you add them into the 'Add your books' thread on Goodreads? That way, I can put them in where we have books missing in spells and classes.
Any books you finish reading, can you please add them to the spreadsheet in the tab 'Add your book here'?

It's okay about the characters. You just got here!

I think we can use the 'u' for Lumos if we get to it.

I'll have a think Eunice. We might be able to use that book for something else in classes.

Karishma wrote: "Ok let me check out the other magical creatures in the books. There are many.

Maybe vampires would also work."

It will depend on what features the vampire you read about has - turns into a bat.. etc.
I think Vampires should be fine though

One book can be read by others for one task.
It will depend on what you're wanting to use it for. The same thing? A different thing?
