I think you should use Tea's books just so we could all enjoy looking at them when posted...

[Eldarwen]

Hahaha, good argument!

So... Tea, you know what to do once Quidditch is over ;-))

[❀Tea❀]

Sleep? :P

Best point everrrr.

Overrated!

[Cathy M.]

Kathleen, How To Marry A Werewolf was really good! Debating whether to give it 4 or 5 stars because the 1st part was just ok but then once I got into it, really enjoyed the story. I really liked the MCs (despite her horrible parents & his grumpy attitude) & the romance was really sweet. The steampunk aspect was very small, which worked in my favor since I'm not a huge fan of steampunk but do love historical romances. This was the 1st book by Gail Carriger that I've read so makes me want to read more!

Sorry can't stick around to chat but it's 3am so I gotta get some sleep!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I have read her Parasol Protectorate series and I quite liked it. Have a good night Cathy!

[Eldarwen]

The steampunk element also wasn't overly present in the Parasol Protectorate either. At least for the most part. I still haven't read the last book in that series actually. Will have to remedy that but I'm not sure I want to read the other one.

Have you read the second series, Kathleen?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

The spinoff? Not yet actually 😊 Have them here, habe yet to crack em open #storyofourlives

[Eldarwen]

Haha, indeed ;-)

Can I take HP #7 4.4-Read a book where the characters are under siege? I believe Now I Rise (And I Darken #2) should work for that.
I also have Piper Perish on my TBR, would that work for a white cover for HP#6 Task 5.1 or does the cover have to be completely white?

Yes! That one will work for siege.

As for the white cover, it doesn't have to be completely white but the colourful title on that book is quite big and very distracting. First thought isn't white when I see that one. :-/

[Sanah]

@Sunshine if you haven't already read a book for this, could I put in My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry when I finish it for HP #5 4.2-Read a book where someone dies? I should have it done by tomorrow

[Em]

for task #5 - 5.1 Read a book with a seer/fortune teller character, does it count if the character claims to be a seer, when he actually isn't? (i'm thinking Shawn Spencer from the Psych series)

[Eldarwen]

Unfortunately, no. It should be an actual seer or fortune teller.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I have upcoming 2-day holiday next week. I am soooo looking forward to it! Quidditch was fun but I can't wait to go back to reading like a normal person! I can't believe you've been doing this three times now Tea.

[❀Tea❀]

Only 2. I skipped first match since I knew it's going to be crazy. To be honest, f we didn't need Europe timezone players, I'd probably stay away from rest of them too. :P

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Majority of the players are from Europe so... I guess it was inevitable for you to join the fray! It has been fun though. Now I know why all past players have been clamoring for sleep during Quidditch ;)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Will this work for white cover?

[Eldarwen]

Eeh... I'm not sure that's white enough..

[Cathy M.]

For the Silver task, does it count if the word is hyphenated? I know some challenges are really specific about variations so just wanted to be sure. Will be reading Silver-Tongued Devil.

[❀Tea❀]

If that doesn't work, I have Silver Borne. I can read that after done with 'similar' covers

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Cathy, have you finished the Seven Realms? :D

[Cathy M.]

I kept putting it aside to do those maze books, then wanted to finish the others I had started before the weekend. But I'm now at 67% on the last book :) Should finish tomorrow.

Death to the Bayars! That's what I'm really waiting for...

[Cathy M.]

Oh, and it does work for under siege but I think someone else had something for that so I'll see if it works for something else.

Are you going to read the spinoff? What if the Bayars' death happens in the spinoff? ;)

[Cathy M.]

Oh crap, don't tease me! I'm really enjoying this series so I might have to...

[Annalisa]

How are we doing on U for characters? I've seen a lot posted.

Also, I'm going to try reading 1Q84. I don't think it fits anything for TWT but i haven't read it yet to know for sure. I wonder how the title would work for either maze or spell-out. Maybe it just doesn't work.

[❀Tea❀]

And how are we with other letters too?

[Kavitha]

I am reading a book Shadow of Death which has a blind seer. I initially took the book for "death" in the title. It is second in series. I will be reading both second and third which has this blind seer Lily as the main character. so, one for seer, and another for blind? maybe we can try to find some other book which has "death" in the title...

[Kavitha]

Hopefully, I will read three books that start with "U". Already finished two "U"s

[Annalisa]

I think we may already have a book or two that fit death in the title task.

[Eldarwen]

I think LaurLa is going to take some time this weekend to check up on characters. You'll get an update after that :-)

We do need a lot of Us though, so I'm pretty sure the ones we have so far aren't enough yet for all the characters!

[Eldarwen]

Kavitha wrote: "I am reading a book Shadow of Death which has a blind seer. I initially took the book for "death" in the title. It is second in series. I will be reading both second and third which..."

Aahh, seer, yes, that'll come in handy. Blind as well!

We'll use another book for "Death" then, no worries - those are easy enough to do since a few of us are reading the In Death series.

Or maybe we'll use yours as well - who knows? There's two tasks with "death" in title, so only one of them has been filled so far.

[Kavitha]

Why is the characters worksheet not filled like the other tasks? Is there some reason?

[Eldarwen]

LaurLa is working on the characters on a different sheet in case things need to be switched around.

She'll fill it in once she's certain that books haven't been stolen by me to go towards tasks ;-)

Once she does the update and uses up all our unused books it will fill up pretty quickly!

[Eldarwen]

How is everyone doing on the tasks they have claimed already?

I noticed that sometimes there are other books incoming but not necessarily the ones that have been claimed.

Please do not forget to read those, or if you can't read for them or for some reason you don't want to read for those tasks anymore, let us know so that someone else from the team can pick up those tasks instead. (You never know with reading moods after all hehe.)

Thanks guys!

[❀Tea❀]

I was little sidetracked *snikers*
Reading first of similar covers books

Why is that?
Can you not read for Quidditch and TWT at the same time?! No dedication... honestly... :-p

[❀Tea❀]

I was reading quidditch and maze. Does that count?
And I didn't have twt task before two? days ago. I've been good and finished my tasks before crazy started :)

[Stacie]

I'm reading a u book right now

[LaurLa]

Okay my friends.... It's not easy being green. A green snake that is... but I have been sneakily, snakily working on filling the letters!

As of SUNDAY (8.12) we still needed 9 Us and 8 Es in the vowel department. I haven't had a chance to work on them since then but did set aside time this evening to work on it, so I can tell you better tomorrow how those 2 letters are doing.

Filling in the rest of the letters will be easier once we've got all those pesky vowels taken care of!

We're good on Q and X, believe it or not!!

You have tough job, Laura! thanks from the heart :)

[LaurLa]

Stacie..... you linked the wrong edition for Unconscious Heart. Can you please update your completion post?

[LaurLa]

Kavitha wrote: "You have tough job, Laura! thanks from the heart :)"

Thank-you!

Could you do me a favor and include the author name with your completion posts? It helps so that I don't have to open the book to check that :-)

[Kavitha]

done :)

[Annalisa]

I updated my post for How to Train Your Dragon so that it included the information for Task 5.3 for book 2 with phoenix in the text.
