How do I post on the Team Ceres thread?? I can’t seem to find a link.

Seems like Chamber of Secret’s is up next for the mini challenge :)

If I read another in the Harry Potter series would that take care of the second book in the second bit of the mini challenge??

I still need someone to pair up with. We could both read Harry Potter from Team Milky Way?

Aunts definitely have a duty! My nephew is 7 and is a huge reader. I bought him the Faraway Series by Enid Blyton which was one of my favourites for Christmas hoping to get him hooked. To be honest my 2 year son also adores books. He has boxes of them everywhere and the library is his favourite place. He’s my mini bookworm!

I have the audio versions as well as hard copies. I’m waiting for my son to be old enough to appreciate them!

Can always count on Danielle Steel to bring me to tears - nostalgic read as I used to read these when I was a teenager!

Definitely longer than 6 months since I’ve read it. I love them so it will be a pleasure to reread! I can start after I finish my Blue 9 which I was up to the early hours reading. It’s a bit of a tear jerker!

I have read the whole series. The rules do not state you have to read something you’ve not read before do they? To be honest nothing else appealed. A lot of the books were genres I do not read. I’m pressed for time the next couple of weeks and would read something I like.

Eldarwen wrote: "Kelly, I compared your wish with Louise's list and found these options for Harry Potter:

Milky Way, Ceres

Would you ladies like to read from one of those two teams?"

Either one suits me. Philosophers Stone is reasonably short so won’t take me long to read and I already own it which makes it easier.

Eldarwen wrote: "Awesome!

2 teams down for the first part of the mini challenge!

Leaves 1 more to go :-)"

I’m happy to pair up with someone on any of the teams that feature Harry Potter or Jasper Fforde - any takers??

Just need a few WD4 covered and we'll be on the home straight :)"

Why thank you :-D

And yes! All our base colou..."

I’m reading a blue 9 at the minute.

I’ll start this one. The cover is bluer than what he picture suggests. I think part of it is set in New York so that should cover blue 9?

Completed today 11/2/18:

I know! 😊 It was one at the start I thought might not fit hardly anything.

Eldarwen wrote: "I'm assuming you mean H, not B ;-)

That is quite an impressive list!! And if one of them fits for a Red cover.... even better!

We need a few more of those for our coloured cards, and then we also..."

Doh! Yes H. None of them will fit red. I have Origins by Dan Brown in hardback to read but wasn’t sure if that was more of a dark pink??

I’ve looked through my TBR list and found a few :

The Christmas Secret Karen Swann
The Bach Manuscript Scott Mariani
The Rome Affair Karen Swann
Killer Ball at Honeychurch Hall Hannah Dennison
The Hourglass Tracy Rees

They all have a person or place beginning with B somewhere.

I’ll start looking for H’s 😊😊

I’ve read better to be honest! There was a twist at the end but it wasn’t big enough to make me feel completely satisfied after reading it. It’s very summery though - fits in with the snow falling here too 😊
