message 1527: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments Want to use a boon?
Maybe we'd get something we already have and get few more points?

Also some teams want to continue (just for fun) to see how long it'll take them to reach 25000 pts. Spreadsheets will still work so let me know if you are interested in it.

message 1532: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments Think Voldemort would work for world domination? I know he wants to get rid of Muggles, but would that count as world domination...


message 1533: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I think I would count it. Getting rid of Muggles would be world domination I think.


message 1534: by Venecia (new)

Venecia | 995 comments I'm in for continuing to 25K. I'll be reading anyway so making it count here would not be a problem.

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments - Read a book where there is a tight deadline

Ok this might be a streeeeeeeeetch but, in the book i just finished Crops and Robbers the main character's mother is arrested for a crime she didn't commit. She has 2 weeks until she goes to court so the MC has a deadline to investigate and find the real murderer.
