You can't have something needing monsters and not have Dresden :P
And audiobooks are great :)
They aaaaaare!! James Marsters is fantastic as Harry. I know there are some people out there who don't think so, but I think he fits!
If you're up for more Harry, I'm sure we can use him for DADA, since this one went to Astronomy ;-)

Something that can be killed with poison - I didn't want to use Cress so we didn't have the same combination twice.
I feel like there is a book somewhere in the completions that has something that can be killed with poison though.... need to go back and check.
We have a sword available for doing some defence so that could be used. Unless Stacie is absolutely set on reading her zombie book? Then we aren't going to axe that one.
ONE slot for DADA is still open, so whatever you feel like, basically!

Tea, could you please shelve the same edition as the one you posted? Or you know, make it match? Thanks!
The book on your TT shelf doesn't show an actual cover for the Brunetti book.

Stacie!
Do you still want to read Feedback?
I found a book in our list that could be used with Kathleen's sword book so you don't have to read just for TT if you don't want to.

I know. Because book I've read doesn't have cover on GR. Cover is wrong edition just to show what it looks like
I could switch to audio version since I've listen most of it if you want (and that is again another cover)
Oh no, you don't have to move it up the list. Plenty of time to read it! :-)
I'm just going through our read books at the moment and one of Jamie's jumped out at me as a potential monster book.

Still want to wait for LaurLa to chime in though :-) Just to be on the safe side. My colour eye seems to be off..."
I'd question the 50% too. Right off that's what I wondered... the book gives the impression of turquoise because of the contrast and being so bright, but actually, it bleeds to quite dark around the edges that I think would take away from it being 50%. Sorry to be a spoilsport :-(
ETA: but maybe our crab can transfigurate into a dragon?

Sometimes I really hate the million different versions on GR, especially when none of them match your book haha.
Nah, just leave it as is in that case :-)

Beach hat to crab?
Might that be an idea?"
Looks like we still need items for our creature - what about using the pinchers for that?
Other option:
In the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, there are monsters - and I'm not just talking about the vampires. Lessers are killed with a blade stabbed through the heart...
So we could use the lessers as monsters and use The Emperor's Blades as the defence.
(And then the zombies with the sword. And there's something around for poison, I'm sure. And more blades haha.)

Pinchers on a lion head and butterfly wings creature... maybe?? hehe
Crab into a dragon.. good idea, too!

Ok, there's too much information and too many covers in my head now, so I'll just leave it be until some other day and head to bed!
Good night :-)

It does have the chick-lit tag, but is it fluffy? I remember Scott's other series being less fluffy but more sex-oriented. I'm thinking Kinsella or Evanovich (Stephanie Plum) for fluffy chick-lit - something along those lines.
I knoooow - I do that, too. Or I see romance and think "oooh fluffy!!" and then it doesn't have an MPG of chick-lit but something along the lines of drama haha.
Ok, to be fair, I may be a little strict on these classes guidelines, but honestly, we have a lot of time to read for them all, and I don't want us to earn negative points in case the class master thinks we failed the test ;-)

No, that's fine. You can shelve the audio edition.
For the page number, we're just going to use the default edition of the book, which I assume is the 231 pages you mentioned :-)

Defence needs to be in the title, so unfortunately the poison mention in the book won't work :-)
Ready Player One is on hold for most of the people in the thread as we all have books to finish up, so don't worry about that one. Hello Stranger is moving faster with Lisa already being finished. I'm tryyyying to get there tonight as well, or wanted to, but then realised I'd have to read 200 pages tonight and I'm not sure that's going to happen.

Haha, yeah my reading time has been eaten by Quidditch announcements, so I'm going to try and not be announcer for the next round and read a little more instead. ;-)
I also want to finish Red Rising this week, also a BR, that started on Saturday that I haven't gotten very far in yet.
I blame Kathleen. It's all her fault. She dragged us into a million BRs by telling us about all the wonderful books that were going to be read ;-)

today from my library. I figure this should work for a desert for the water summoning spell."
Oooh indeed!
We have a few covers with lots of water on them so I'll try to pick out the best one to work with this cover :-)
Cool!

What I meant was, since you were looking for a creature to kill with poison, maybe one of my current reads with trolls could do? It mentioned that these trolls can be killed with poison.

*hides*

Oh I must have read that completely wrong haha.
I'm not sure? Can trolls be killed with poison? Do I have to do some research? ;-)

And the shiny one over there, I want that one too!

I'm just really, really curious to see what the book is they have to read. It's a position I wouldn't mind playing, if I knew it was a book I had access to but that is a very big if.
