Team Severus Snape Showing 1,301-1,350 of 2,409

[Eldarwen]

Yeeeeaaaah, suspense is killing me as well, but alas, unfortunately we all know what it's like when real life gets in the way of reading and challenge life ;-)

[Eldarwen]

Care of Magical Creatures

This is our beastie:

- cougar head

It likes delicacies, with a preference for the sweet kind. It is most often found in Venice, Italy. It can brainwash/mind control living beings around it via glamour.
It is classified as: XXXX – Dangerous / requires specialist knowledge / skilled wizard may handle

Name suggestion: Sammie the Sugar Kithigon (kitten and dragon combined)

What do you think??

[Sanah]

Hello everyone! These are the books I plan on reading as of now. Don't know if I'll get to all of them, but I plan on giving it my best shot :) https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

[Cathy M.]

Welcome Kathryn, Kavitha & Sanah!

[Eldarwen]

Hello and welcome new team members! :-))

All important links are on the first page of the thread. Please give us a link to your TT shelf (thanks Sanah!) and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

[Eldarwen]

All the books you have started after May 12th (when the Tower Teams challenge started) and finished after July 15th may be used towards this challenge. Could you please add all of those books to your TT shelves?

And it's going to be a bother, I know, but please throw us a completion post for all of them into this thread.
Since spells and classes are completed, you do not need to add all the extra information. It's just a way to keep it all ordered and in the same place.

Thanks! :-)

[Shannon]

Ummm... only books finished after 15 July so long as they were started after 12 May. :)

[Eldarwen]

Stacie,

Endurance doesn't have a read date on your shelf. Could you add it please?

Thanks!

(Would be good if this bug got fixed... )

Should be fixed. I think this one is my fault. I had two editions on my shelf as read and when I was correcting everything, I think I neglected to put in read date.

[LaurLa]

Welcome new team members!! Glad you could join us!! I think you're just in time for the last crazy game the wonderful mods have cooked up for us! Don't be afraid to dive right in once all the details for Tri-wizards are announced. Or just read! Whatever works best for you!

All good, thanks!

Hello everyone! here is the link to my tt shelf. https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I will catch up with the rules and regulations soon. In the mean time, is there anything that I need to read/do by this week?

[Kavitha]

Thanks Shannon!"

Oh! is it?

[Eldarwen]

Hello hello,

Thanks for the link!

Nope, nothing specific needed to be read at the moment. Tri-Wizard Tournament information should be released soon, then we'll know more :-)

For now, all you need to do, pretty please, is add completion posts for all the books you've started after 12th May and finished after 15th July.

[Eldarwen]

And I just realised that 15th July wasn't all that long ago haha, so adding completion posts isn't going to be too horrible on anyone.

Gosh, I really have no idea where my head is at today.

Cool :) done!

[Annalisa]

Welcome new team members.

[Eldarwen]

Kavitha, can you add the completion post here? Thanks!

It's going to be interesting to fiddle with copy/paste for some of your titles hehe.

Any recommendations for good local books that have been translated into English by any chance? :-)

[Kavitha]

Thank you for the welcome, friends :)

Only for the books that I read in my language, Tamil. I read in English mostly. couple of good books that I read recently...
Inga, A Suitable Boy, Interpreter of Maladies, Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana, Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata

[Eldarwen]

A Suitable Boy sounds really interesting, thanks! Added that to my TBR shelf, but ooooooh my, I'm already dreading the page count hahaha ;-)

[Annalisa]

I thought that one looked good too. I don't notice the page count. I should not be intimidated, I just finished A Feast for Crows, but it is. I think the page count is the reason I have read a lot of the Russian classics. I want to but they are so long.

[Annalisa]

Clearly it is a Monday. I cannot write sentences. Maybe doesn't help that I'm on my phone.

[Eldarwen]

Hahaha :-)

Yeeep, definitely is Monday! Monday brain is not a fun thing but oh well.. ;-)

Hi Sunshine 😊

[Em]

Welcome Kavitha, Kathryn, & Sanah!

[Annalisa]

Don Quixote can be used for astronomy I think. I thought I saw that somewhere. It has so many pages. Great for astronomy.

Yes, that's why Em read it ;-)

Hi Em, how is Don Quixote? Currently some friends are buddy reading it. I am just slightly afraid of the page numbers. I just finished another tome in June :)

[Kavitha]

Just looked at the rules and the spreadsheet, missed all the fun :(

[Annalisa]

Not all the fun. . . Tri-Wizard still to come. We keep hoping for an announcement, but not yet.

[Eldarwen]

Haha, Tri-Wizard will be more of that fun!

It's going to be crazy, I'm sure :-)

[LaurLa]

Maybe today is the day.... Maybe? Please?

[Natasha]

I'm really hoping today is the day. I can't wait for the announcement!

[Eldarwen]

Keeping fingers and toes crossed!! :-)

[Annalisa]

I was really hoping you were posting that Tri-Wizard was announced. Hope soon.

[Eldarwen]

Aw, sorry!!

it was very fun! throughout my reading i kept getting a Monty Python vibe somewhat haha. i was surprised by how contemporary it reads.

i was also intimidated by the page numbers at first, but turns out the book is divided into bite-sized chapters, so it's very managable. give it a try when you have the time! :)

[Annalisa]

I feel like I'm training for a competition in patience, and I think I'm loosing. . . .

[Eldarwen]

Kavitha,

if I'm not mistaken Black Panther: The Young Prince is a graphic novel? It has the tag, and it's Marvel so I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to count that for Tower Teams.

No, it is not graphic novel :) It is a regular book.

Also, updated pages to the other book...sorry for the delay.
