Team Severus Snape Showing 601-650 of 2,409

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I've also read all Julie Garwood historicals. And for some reason, the title that I remember most is Ransom.

I enjoyed her first few forrays into suspense romanc and then it fizzled

[Eldarwen]

Hahah, Natasha, you're right. We're being overrun with stars for astronomy ;-)

Keeping it on the reserve list for now to see what else we might come up with to diversify our astronomy class a little, otherwise we'll really end up with only stars. Not terrible, just boring :-)

[V_Nerdbooks]

Lots of favourites

Tarryn Fisher
Sawyer Bennett
Sierra Simone
Krista Ritchie
Lauren Blakely
Lauren Rowe
Alessandra Torre
Vi Keeland
Penelope Ward
Kylie Scott

I could keep going 😂😂

And going and going ;)

[V_Nerdbooks]

Haha yep all day

[Natasha]

I don't have a favorite romance author (I have very few favorite authors in general), but I do enjoy Eloisa James. I really have to read more of it.

Also, for the astronomy class, I read a lot of books about space so I'm sure I can find something that doesn't have star in the title.

Please welcome new team members:

Hi new teamies :) So happy to see some familiar faces along with a lot of new ones. Glad to be playing with all of you!

I've tried reading up on all the classes & stuff but admit it's a little overwhelming there's so much going on! Promise to get caught up this weekend on everything, including all the posts, but is there a planning sheet or just look at the beginning posts to see what is open/needs to be filled?

I've already added my books to my shelf from the start of the challenge: TT6. Let me know if I need to give you anything else!

[Eldarwen]

Oh wow, did not realise we'd get new team members. How cool.



Welcome to Team Severus Snape, ladies! :-)

For some quick quick extra points for the team, you can jump right into participating in THIS Harry Potter survey. There are not quite 3 hours left to do so :-) (It's been open for a while already, so not much time left.)

Also, please link your TT shelves and read through the rules.

Important links are all on the first page.

If you have questions, feel free to ask the team captains! :-)

ETA: Would you like to play Quidditch?? If so, please let us know which position or if you'd rather be a spectator! :-)

Hey hey Cathy :-)

Thanks for the link!

Could I ask you to please - I know this will be tedious - add completion posts for all those books to our Books Read Thread?

It'll be a lot of work, I know, and you don't have to do them all right away, but it would be nice to have all the information for characters and classes in one spot. Thanks!

[Eldarwen]

Oh, and no, we do not have a planning spreadsheet, but the Classes sheet and the posts on the first page are up to date.

Ah cool! Sounds like we can expand a little on the stars then haha :-))

Besides, there really is no rush to use the first books on everything. We do have another 2 months to go after all and can always switch books around.

No worries, I'll do it this weekend. Have to look up all the different classes and stuff to see where they would fit. And need to go back and see if I can remember all the character names!

[Eldarwen]

Thanks!

And yeah, take your time! It can be a little time consuming for some books to list everything because they actually fit a lot of different classes but it's nice to have options.

V Nerd wrote: "ooh im all about the romance books lol"

YES YES YES

[LaurLa]

Welcome new teamies! Hope you have fun on this Tower ride!!!

I'm helping Elderwan with captain duties (no one is better than her, btw) and will be working on the Spells (Spell-outs). To make things easier for your past post completions, unless a Secondary Character has an unusual first initial (like O, U or X or Z, etc), you can simply just list the Main Characters along with Title/Author/Series info.

[Annalisa]

Welcome to the team Cathy and Michelle.

Wow, V that's a lot of authors. Yay! So many fun new books to read. My TBR shelf might explode! 😜

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Welcome Michelle and Cathy!

You're just saying that so you can keep volunteering me for captain :-p
Hehehe :-)

[Eldarwen]

QUIDDITCH

Dungeon invites are probably going to appear soon so please keep an eye out for group invites from the moderators of NBRC or team captains!

Quidditch itself, the first match, will start on May 29th.

For those who haven't done so yet, please look over the roles again and see which position you might like to play - together not only with your team mates but with your house mates.

There will be 3 matches, so you can play in either of those. Or none, if you so wish. Lots of cheering action will be required in that case :-)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I shall have to figure out how to do gifs on mobile then!!

Who me???

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

E, I finished Circe. Can it be used for divination? MC uses body of water, adds some flowers sometimes to look into future. Well, she's a nymph and a witch.

[Eldarwen]

Hmm, sounds like it might work.

Is it always the same body of water or does any body of water work?

Put it in the completion post one way or another, I'll discuss with LaurLa :-)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Any can do I guess as it was mentioned she inherited some of her prophetic abilities from her Titan/Olympian relations but she's got a favorite spot to do it.

Okay, will do!

[Eldarwen]

Okay, will do!"

Sounds good!
And we both think that a body of water is acceptable as a divination tool :-)

So we got one covered, yay!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Will write my completion posts when I get back to the city and in front of a computer.

[Eldarwen]

Sure thing!

Much easier than fiddling with them on a phone!

[Eldarwen]

Sunshine,

For Locked In Silence, the book you shelved has 268 pages, but you wrote 284 in the completion post. Did you maybe read a different edition? If so, could you shelve the correct one please?

Thanks!

[Eldarwen]

Cathy,

Could you please add Tangle of Need and Every Heart a Doorway to your shelves? Also, did you, by any chance, join the BR thread for the latter? If so, links please :-)

Thanks!

[Annalisa]

I saw her comment in the BR for Every Heart a Doorway. There are so many things to remember each time I post a completion post. I always feel like I'm missing something.

Stopped to eat lunch but have now added!

I did technically post on the BR thread but joined a little too late so not really discussed with anyone on another team so didn't post the links...

Sorry I've been a bad mod and hadn't gone back to the thread this week. I've done that now, plus someone else has now started the book so with all that chatter you should be able to jump on in and claim some points ;)
Now I need to start Down Among the Sticks and Bones :o

No worries Karen! If you're starting the 2nd one I'll join in :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Thank you Karen! :)

[Cathy M.]

Eldarwen for BRs do we need to link all of our posts, or just the first few?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

There's a BR request for some romance books in the thread. I think one of you ladies was bemoaning the lack of it?

I knew I said am not checking that thread anymore but I swear I just did a quick peek. ;)

[Eldarwen]

Karen, you're a star! :-)

Cathy M. wrote: "Eldarwen for BRs do we need to link all of our posts, or just the first few?"

Just the first few would be good, thanks. Or one from the start, one from the middle... that kind of thing.

A clear indication of participation, basically. :-)

Oops! *dum di dum* ;-)
Sometimes I am a bit fast, I know haha. But figured I'd get everything added before I turned couch potato.

Suuuuuuuure, just keep telling yourself that ;-))

We don't have BRs for July yet, so.... :-pp

[Eldarwen]

The time is almost upon us!!

COUNTDOWN TO QUIDDITCH

I hope you have your books ready to go for those who are reading!

Cheering squad: please keep the pompoms and gifs at the ready ;-)

Is there a different thread where we can 'watch' the game?

Btw, what's the prize for the winning House? Bonus book points, immortality or riches?;)

[Eldarwen]

There will be threads, yes.

I'll link them as soon as they're up! :-)

[Eldarwen]

Eternal glory in the Halls of Fame of NBRC?! ;-)

Winning house - i.e. Seeker catching the snitch - will gain around 150 points.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

150 pts each team under the winning House or...?

Sounds exciting! Will be lots of fun to watch! Or read.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

NBRC should put up a Hall of Fame thread where they list every years winning team of their challenges...

So that when they put up trivia questions we'll have a cheat s heet lol

[Eldarwen]

Nope, house points.

Team points under a specific house are tallied to get the average points one way or another. So if Slytherin wins a match, the points go towards the house, in the broad sense of the term (i.e. not every team).
