I can quote where a character says it's the easiest way to kill a troll. I'll post tomorrow when I get home, I forgot my Kindle yesterday.

[Eldarwen]

But you might also discover something new you'd really enjoy, so there's that, too :-)

(In reference to the seeker - forgot to reply to comment, sorry.)

[Eldarwen]

Michelle,

Thanks for the completion posts!

Can you put the books on your TT shelf, please? Thanks!


ETA: Oh, and could you please expand on the prophecy/vision thing in your books? Does a character use divination tools by any chance?

Would by turquoise?

I think so, I remember someone saying so.

[Eldarwen]

Mmhh that would be turquoise.

Are you going to read it?

Then I can use that beautiful bronze dragon on the Percy Jackson book for our magical creature?? *excited*

I remember that, too, but can't remember who said it o.O
At least it makes me glad that I'm not the only one to remember the odd snippet of conversation even if I have no idea where from haha.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I think it was Karen or Cat? And "she" said if someone was interested?

The Seeker can read any book 300p+ played (successfully) by either team in their match.

Hufflepuff have been revving to go for a while....
I think Gryff have found their's too now.

[Eldarwen]

Oooh ok, interesting way to do it!
Ours has found it as well.

Eta: Snitch, I mean.

Yep will be reading it, probably this weekend!

[Eldarwen]

Fantastic :-)

[Eldarwen]

By the way guys, we're slooowly starting to plan for the next Quidditch match - meaning, we're beginning to see who would like to play in the second round - so if you're interested, please head over to the dungeon and sign up with whatever position you'd like to play :-)

Thanks!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Is the dungeon for players only or for everyone?

[Jammin Jenny]

Hi there. Team Draco here. It's for everyone.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Where is the dungeon? :)

[Jammin Jenny]

I sent you a link in a message :-)

Thanks! Will go see what's happening ;)

[Eldarwen]

Hmm, odd. Maybe your invite got eaten with other notifications while you were away on your trip?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Is it better to get Amazon Prime over Kindle Unlimited?

Most probably E. Because I only made a quick peek every now and then and the internet wasn't that reliable too.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

*ahem*
ok, no words. I don't know..... what can I say really?



E made me do it! Gosling meme wars have begun!

Kathleen wrote: "Is it better to get Amazon Prime over Kindle Unlimited?"

Prime doesn't offer books but you get other benefits like free shipping or reduced faster shipping, music, streaming, etc. I don't have KU... I don't know that I would use it enough to justify the monthly cost. And me personally.... I hate the idea that I'm paying to borrow a book. I want to pay for it, own it and keep it. But's that me. I also don't do library books for the same reason (and because I'm terribly forgetful and rack up the fines!)

ETA: Having said that, I may go for the 30 day free trial if I end up being on the next quidditch team...

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I thought Prime lets you read unlimited books. Ah well. I guess I should just get the 30 day free trial too if I play Quidditch.

[Stacie]

So if you have Amazon prime (the one you get for shipping), I believe you can check out one free book a month. There was something called prime reading but a) I'm not sure if it still exists and b) it was not that great. Then there's Kindle unlimited which lets you have ten books out at a time for as long as you want. Read them, return them, done. Some of them come with audio. I've been an unlimited member for years and while sometimes the books are awful, between it and the libraries, my spending on books has gone waaaay down.

Kathleen wrote: "I thought Prime lets you read unlimited books. Ah well. I guess I should just get the 30 day free trial too if I play Quidditch."

Ah... something I didn't know! There is Prime Reading. But it looks like the selections are somewhat limited. I read romance and there are only 109 books in the romance category and only a handful of authors I know. Not that I know them all of course, just saying I only recognized a handful of the names.

I wouldn't say that I would pay the price for Prime just for the reading. But I do pay for the cost for the other benefits and the fact that I can maybe read some books for free is just an added benefit. For me, the free shipping pays for itself pretty quickly because I order tons of stuff from Amazon. I do the subscribe and save on lots of household items, so free shipping on those items definitely pays for the cost of Prime for me.

[Eldarwen]

I never looked into KU because I don't even have a kindle (I just read some of the free kindle books via the cloudreader on the browser), but for some reason I thought it meant paying a monthly fee and getting books for free, not borrowing hahaha. What a silly thought really ;-))

It's a monthly fee of $9.99... so not free at all. You don't own the books (as I understand it), you return them after you've read them. I'm not sure how many you can have at a time, though. And the selection is somewhat limited. I've heard good and bad things about it.

You can have 10 at a time.

[LaurLa]

Are you creative? Have long dreamt of being a writer? Have you ever played Madlibs and wanted to make up one of your own?

Now's your chance! We're looking for someone willing to be brave and write our History of Magic essay. It could be wacky, fun and crazy or weird, dark and sinister or sweet, warm and cozy! Whatever you want. You just have to use 7 titles from our list of completed books.

We are seeking a volunteer to take on this awesome responsibility. You will have the pick of ALL the books in our completed list, except those marked QUIDDITCH, for obvious reassons. But any other book is fair game. If you really really really want to use a book already marked for a spell or class, do it. We will have plenty of other options to backfill! So have at it! Create our history out of the history of our books!

Who will do it? If we have more than one volunteer, we'll go with whoever spoke up first. But be ready to help out if our fearless writer wants a little inspirational help :-)

[Sunshine]

You can get audible books on Prime, too.

[LaurLa]

Soooooo, speaking of spells... We've have completed the words for Unforgivable Curses - this was the 10 point per letter set of spells. If gave us a little boost in poinst, to the tune of 350 :-D

I have started on the 5 point per letter set: Obscure Spells. We've completed all the letters but 4. We have plenty of books, no fear we won't finish those, but the letters left are R and U... if anyone feels inclined to read for them.

The last set of Spells, 2 points per letter but the most numerous altogether worth 280 points plus 70 completions points, has lots and lots of tricky to find vowels. So start keeping these letters in mind as you read or look for things to read:

A 11
E 10
I 14
N 7
O 16
P 7
R 9
T 10
U 10

Happy Reading!!!

[Stacie]

AWESOME US!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I'd like to volunteer for the History of Magic essay.

[LaurLa]

Kathleen wrote: "I'd like to volunteer for the History of Magic essay."

You got it!!!

Feel free to recruit helpers! There are some great titles... you could have so much fun!

[Eldarwen]

Muahahaha, so glad we have a victim volunteer!

;-))

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

LaurLa said I could recruit victims helpers so be ready to read if I say read! Hahaha ;))

[Eldarwen]

Heheh ;-)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Dear Emily,

Would you Dare to Resist a Lover Reborn like a Big Bad Wolf When Darkness Comes?

(Just/Why don't you/Or would you) Come As You Are and claim A Kiss at Midnight?

Option 1
I only borrowed one used book, I couldn't resist the Dear Emily! All others haven't been placed in classes or spells yet.

If you didn't like this, I can come up with more!

[Stacie]

Love this so hard.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Stacie wrote: "Love this so hard."

Thanks Stacie! I had fun!

[Annalisa]

It does look like you had fun.

[Eldarwen]

You're off to a great start!

Option 1 is definitely a good idea! Needs a little more fluffing up to make it an actual essay but definitely workable :-D

Would you mind giving us a few more options? Since you're having fun with this :-)

[Eldarwen]

JULY BOMs


Rosemary and Rue - starts July 2nd


I Hunt Killers - starts July 12th


The Tattooist of Auschwitz - starts July 22nd

[Eldarwen]

I just signed up for the first two, debating on the third one.

[Annalisa]

Hmm I might be interested in Rosemary and Rue. I've been enjoying the author a lot. However, urban fantasy and I don't really connect. Also, I think I may have over committed. I'll take a look at all the books I have signed up to read when I get home.

Is it helpful for me to post my current, upcoming, and maybe reads?

[Annalisa]

Actually it's the third books hat interests me most. However, I don't think I'll be able to get a copy in the time frame required.
