Welcome back!

[Erika]

Doing well here! Going to get some quality reading in this weekend. Mom and I are taking a trip to the casino to try our luck tomorrow. Other than that my plan is to relax

[Sassafrass]

Hey there, Erika! Good luck tomorrow.

I've finished HP book 3 and have started on book 4. I'll post book 3 completion once I get some discussion in.

[SandyL]

Glad you're back, @Heli!! And good luck @Erika!!

I’m hoping to get some quality reading in this week, in fact I might go run a bath and do some reading right now :)

That sounds lovely, Emma!

It's a gloomy day here. I'm going to go for a run before it starts raining. Then I've got to take my dog to get groomed and we've got some gear to pick up for our Alaska Trip so I won't be getting much reading int until late afternoon.

Enjoy your cruise when you leave.

[Laura]

I like everyone's plans better than mine! I'm off to work very shortly. I do plan on reading when I get home later this afternoon
It's raining here now after two beautiful days of sun and warm weather!

Thanks, Danielle. It's coming quick. It seemed like it was months away just yesterday now we'll leave in 2 weeks!

[SandyL]

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! And just wanted to say to Danielle - THANK YOU!!! That quidditch match is intense!

Hey Newts

We didn't get a response the last time I put this out there, but we've got some new players.......
Does anyone want to take a shot at coming up with the essay for History of Magic? We need to write a short story/essay using the titles of books. It can be just a few sentences long, but needs 7 book titles. We can all work on it together as well, putting together pieces.

Any book that isn't highlighted on the spread sheet is available.

Sandy, I can take a look at that tonight after I finish my running around.

[SandyL]

Thanks @Sassafrass!

I saw two books I thought might make an interesting story - Darkness on the Edge of Town and In The Absence Of Light, but we've got a lot to choose from.

[Linda C]

I came up with something using 8 titles. Can we use more and get more points?

One Grim Tuesday, the Lilac Girls took the Night Flight to the Edge of Maine. In The Absence Of Light, in the Darkness on the Edge of Town, these Desperate Characters whispered "Bury Your Dead"

[SandyL]

Awesome Linda! We can only use 7 (no extra credit 😢) but it will still work. We could change the second sentence to something like "At the Darkness on the Edge of Town, these Desperate Characters whispered "Bury Your Dead"

[Linda C]

How about the second sentence reading:

These Desperate Characters whispered "Bury Your Dead" in the Darkness on the Edge of Town.

[Sassafrass]

Great job, Linda!

[SandyL]

I like it! Awesome job Linda!

[Erika]

Ooooo i wanna read that story! Awesome job!

[Laura]

Hey Newts!
Nice team work on the story!

Danielle, you are rocking the quidditch; great work.

Not sure if anyone looked but we moved up in the standings and are now in 6th 9thplace. Keep up the great work team!

PS- Hufflepuff is currently in the lead for the House cup!!!

[✿~Danielle~✿]

Thanks guys! I just posted some books I’ve read.

Great story!

[Laura]

Danielle,
I just added your books; go girl. You just took us from 9th to 6th place!!

Team Newt is doing awesome! Keep reading everyone:-) You are all doing FANTASTIC!!

[SandyL]

Amazing Quidditch play, Danielle!!!

Don't forget about the buddy reads, Newts - it's an easy way to add extra points and if there isn't one for a book you want to read, it's easy to put in a request:

[Sassafrass]

My problem is that there are so many I want to read, there's no way I can get to them all! LOL

On the spreadsheet it says to the night flight instead of took
Can you correct it?

[SandyL]

Got it - thanks for noticing Linda!

[SandyL]

Hi Newts! How was everyone's weekend? I know Danielle was busy playing Quidditch all weekend - how about the rest of you?

Hi ya Newts!

I worked Saturday; yesterday I made progress on 4 books ( I don't usually read that many at a time), watched some tv with the daughter, walked the dog, and worked on moderator stuff. I am loving this book .( How could I have not read this series earlier? ) I'm also reading - current BOM, and

[Jennifer]

Mowed the yard, got two runs in and finished sitting by the pool.

[Linda C]

Babysat my grandson and visited with guests from out of town. Still got in some reading

[Emma (M)]

Did some activities with my son, read some more and cleaned the house. It was a quiet weekend, which is my favourite kind.

[Sassafrass]

Laura: the others series is one of my favorite!!! It's amazing!!!

I'm reading Leah on the Offbeat too! Well, I'm leisurely reading it while reading HP.

[SandyL]

It sounds like everyone had a nice weekend!

[SandyL]

It's so quiet! I hope everyone is having a great week and reading some good books!

[Erika]

So many books! I need to get some finished

[Laura]

So many books, and work is too busy to let me on GR for any amount of time.
( grabbing a lunch break now!)

[✿~Danielle~✿]

Just a quick hello!

[Laura]

Sassafras, I loved Written in Red. We are setting up for the next one! I'm enjoying the Harry Potter books ( I was trying to catch up to you.... but... - now I've over committed to to many!) Liking Leah too.... more than I thought. Also leisurely reading that one.

[Sassafrass]

Laura, I haven't read any of Leah this week at all because I've been immersed in OoTP which is a brick. I'll get back to it this weekend.

[Sassafrass]

Hey, Danielle! How are you hanging in?

Omg Order of the Pheonix is my favorite of the series!

Finished up one of my billion current reads! Hoping to finish some of my buddy reads next

I've got Leah on hold on overdrive - I think I'm like #55, so probably won't get it before TT is over. Sigh.... I'm slowly reading Goblet of Fire - I think you'll read right by me on the HP books, Laura!

I'm not so sure, Sandy. I finished #3. Liked it more than I thought, but I have too many buddy reads I committed to. I want to read the next one but I will wait and try to finish these other books I have on the go and committed too. I have two library books to return on the 9th... they will be late.

[SandyL]

Awesome news team!!! Hufflepuff has won the Quidditch match against Ravenclaw! And a huge thank you to Danielle, who did a tremendous job as Chaser!

[Laura]

Nice !!
Congratulations,
Danielle and Sandy and thank you for participating for team Newt

[Erika]

Woohoo!!!
