Team Cedric Diggory
Thank goodness you've all been so good at reading for the tasks, as I've been quite rubbish at them. The maze and last minute SRCing has been taking up all my book choices.I think I've made a new PB for the amount of books I've read in August though, so it's all good book points. :)
Everyone is doing such a great job! Things are getting really busy here for me, so while I'm fairly certain I'll be able to complete my 2 outstanding books (gate on cover, sword on cover) I don't know that I'll be able to add any letters. I'm currently reading the 'sword on cover' task, so that'll definitely be done on time. If anyone else has a gate on the cover and wants to read for that one, I wouldn't be offended if you want to bump me. If not, I'm pretty sure I'll get it done in time. :)

Don't think I didn't notice the Maze/SRC twofer books! Blood, Sweat & Tea; the Case of the Missing Mascot; the memory book!
Sarah - it's been ace that you've covered the Maze - it meant I didn't have to feel guilty that Cedric wasn't pulling our weight!

Thank you, Marie and Cat! Your encouragement means a lot. <3I'm soonish finished with the 'song' book!
Lol! Now just to find that elusive "dance" book with the right genre for the maze - and preferably 100 pages. I don't think there are that many of us able to read on a UK weekday morning - so I'm just filling in the gap until the US wakes up. Shrug. It's fun.
I have a U book coming up this week and really looking forward to it.Have a long book going today, hopefully it will help with letters.
Still want to read Everland for BOM points. I'll have to see what else I can fill in. I will be away for a while on Thursday, but otherwise I have time to read.
I've just submitted another character name :)
I've got 2 more nearly ready to submit: need letters IUPE to completed them.
I've also read a cover with a snake on, to back up in case Tricia can't finish hers (and it has a P character, amongst others!)
I'm hoping to finish The Idiot, which is taking an inordinate length of time to read. the reviews do all say "dense writing" which is for sure true!
In mind I've got Wait for It (670p!, but it's for SRC) and a gate on cover, to back up Katie (Murder in the Mansion), but that - if I manage it - will be about all I think!

Quick shelf admin requests.... Can you add the following books to your shelves / check and add read dates:
Marie: Mercer Street; Indiana Belle; New World Order; Irish Cottage
Katie: Biker's Vow
Elena: Mother Night
Thanks!

Done.
We now only have 2 / 3 books (depending if I cave I bump Tricia) left to finish to complete all the TriWizard tasks!
Over in the Burrow it looks like we are two spaces (and a plea to the Maze Fairy not to inflict a trap) from finishing!
We've not had a countdown timer, yet, of when books need to be completed, but it will be some point on Friday 31. So soon :(

yeah, that's popping up now :)
but there's still a discrepancy between books on the sheet and books on the shelf. Shall go back to comparing to find the missing beastie!

Sorry I disappeared for a bit. Getting four kids ready for back to school and then my cat got real sick. It got real crazy around my house. Even more than usual. But, I managed to get the snake on the cover book read and posted it in the other thread if you still need it. Now, I think I'm ready for a nap!
four kids?! I can barely manage myself, let alone kids!
no worries about going quiet - I had a back-up, but managed to be both trusting and patient, that you'd get back to us :)
only two task sets to do - just waiting on Emelie to wrestle Song of Solomon into submission, and Elena's Boy Nobody to do what ever it is he needs to do!
Character spell out is going well. I'm focusing on the shorter names, as we get more bang for our books that way. for letters? I and L, I think, for Sybill & Lucius (we've got the U & Y), but I can shuffle & make them work whatever! :)
