Will watch out for those.

Thanks Laura!

[Eldarwen]

Woooh!

Thanks a bunch, LaurLa! :-)

[LaurLa]

Kavitha - does this happen to have a character whose name starts with Y?

Sivagamiyin Sabatham - Paranjothiyin Yathirai - Part 1

[LaurLa]

I have used all the books (except a handful that I need to clear with the boss) - here is what is left that we need:

Primary Characters - none (whoohoo!)

Major Characters - N - 5

Characters
C - 3
D - 8
E - 1
L - 11
N - 10
R - 13
S - 7
T - 2
U - 5
Y - 7

[Em]

thank you, LaurLa!

[Eldarwen]

Niiice! :-)


So for a little added motivation for the last two weeks of Tower Teams: We're currently in 4th place. 4th!!

Think we can move us up a little further? ;-)

House Slytherin is in 3rd place for the House Cup and that definitely will not do!! Let's read like crazy people for the rest of the month and get those tasks and characters all filled in! Any extra books will only bring more book and page points to the team and house, so let's go go go! :-D

The maze is going crazy on us all the time, but we're moving along nicely so let's try and keep that up (you have already been doing so, so well with it!!) and let's keep our fingers crossed for a green win for the Tri-Wizard Cup!!

Keep it up, Severus Snape!! You're doing awesome!!

(Lots of !!, I know haha)

[Cathy M.]

Wow, great going team!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

[Annalisa]

Wow, I'm really surprised. Yay!

[Annalisa]

Also, I've really been enjoying the How to Drain Your Dragon series. I am trying to give multiple options per book so it can maybe be used somewhere else if we end up with too many dragons. At this point I don't know if it is more helpful to claim a task or just post what it fits when I finish. Sometimes I don't know until I've read the book what it will fit.

Usually I would say: No such thing as too many dragons!!

But yes, in this case, options are a good thing hehe. We're doing fairly good with the tasks at the moment, and there are some that could potentially be shifted around, so I'd say, just read and post whatever it fits and then we'll see.

No...sorry :( Yathirai means travel...

[Natasha]

So looking at the books I currently have checked out, I'm going to read next for HP #2 3.2 Read a book something to drink on the cover. And I'm reading right now which could be used for HP #4 2.3 Read a book with a Dragon on the cover or 2.4 Read a book with a Dragon in the book or HP #5 5.3 Read a book with "Lost" in the title.

Thanks.... so S it is then ;-)

[Eldarwen]

Stacie,

Can you add Grip to your TT shelf, please?

Thanks! :-)

Cool!

They're yours :-)

[Eldarwen]

Cathy, I'm wondering if How to be a Mermaid wouldn't be a better fit for the "Read a book with mermaids" task? Sounds like there are some in this one.

Not sure if anyone else is going to read a mermaid book or if you have another one?

Person swimming on cover might be easier to find again than mermaid?

What do you guys think?

[Cathy M.]

I actually have another book for Mermaids if no one has anything :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Mermaid task is all yours Cathy :) I couldn't find a mermaid book that I liked. I only have To Kill a Kingdom but there's the 6-month rule so rereading it won't do. I love that book by the way. Not perfect, but I love it anyway.

[Cathy M.]

I'll get to it next week. I thought that book was about sirens? Great that you loved it so much!

Can't believe we only have 2 more weeks!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

It is. But there were mermaids.

I know! It's going to be another half a year before the next TT. Good thing there's SOS Bingo next month. ;)

[Cathy M.]

Is it already that time???? They didn't have sign-ups already did they? Let me go look...

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

No sign ups yet. I just read someone saying it might be for next month. :)

[Cathy M.]

I missed sign-ups last time so want to make sure I get in this time!

Also Clue is starting at Game Night which is always fun. That's one of my favorite GR games.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Clue? Does that involve solving clues? ;)

Let me go check what it's about.

[Eldarwen]

I'm not much a fan of Clue, though I had fun the first time I played it with a team here.

SoS Bingo will be so awesome! It's one of my favourites :-) Sign-ups are probably going to pop up in the next 2-4 weeks. Fingers crossed!

[Cathy M.]

I really love logic puzzles so it's fun for me :)

It's basically a game of elimination. It's based on the board game Clue. There is a list of suspects, weapons & rooms, and you try to figure out who the killer is, what weapon they used in which room. Every week you get to ask each team if they have certain "cards" & eliminate them from the list. The team who figures out the answer first wins.

[Eldarwen]

It's odd. I don't like playing the Clue challenge but I enjoy the Murder Mystery Dinner very much even though it's based on the same principle - except that it's an individual challenge.

[Cathy M.]

Murder Mysteries are a little cheezy (the ones I've seen) but they are fun!

[Annalisa]

I know normally animals don't count as characters. What about talking dragons? Wondering if something Toothless does could be used for completing a Task.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

You can take my dragon task Annalisa since you finished first :)

I can fit mine to some other task. Or for spell out!

[LaurLa]

Need help... is the character's last name intitial D or L: de Laurent?

[Eldarwen]

Annalisa wrote: "I know normally animals don't count as characters. What about talking dragons? Wondering if something Toothless does could be used for completing a Task."

Ahhh, I'm going to say "no" to that one. Talking animals are a little iffy, unfortunately :-/

[Eldarwen]

LaurLa wrote: "Need help... is the character's last name intitial D or L: de Laurent?"

Hm.. technically "de" is an article but I think those kinds of names are usually shelved under the initial, so I'd go with D.

(Just like Van Helsing would be shelved under V.)

[Sunshine]

What should we aim for as a priority?
Letters
Or
TW

[Eldarwen]

I think the tasks bring us more points, so let's try and finish those up first!

[Eldarwen]

Since weekends are usually reading time, let's see what we can get done by the end of it.

Monday, I'll post an update on which tasks still remain open! :-)

What we CAN work on already (no update required for that one) is the title relay which we'll need for Task 3 - Wizard's Chess in Harry Potter #1.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Id like to volunteer for the relay then, with at least someone else to do relay with :D

Unless those who haven't read Never, Never yet want to read for it ;);)

[Annalisa]

I'd participate in the relay. I guess we need to find a book to start with.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Yes. I think some common connecting words could be

midnight
kiss
queen
love (??)
dark
shadow
blood
song
red (??)
devil (?)
sun? star? moon?
you? me?

What do you want to read before August ends? I'll try to match :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I'm going through your shelves Annalisa :)
We've got a lot of books in common!!!

[Cathy M.]

It has to be done by 4 people (each book read by different person) so I can join in. I do have a book called Never Say Never :) I'm pretty open & can search for books to link others. Best to pick books that do not start with articles (the, a, an), and start/end with common (not hard to find) words.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

How about...

Angels' Blood/ Anna Dressed in Blood /
Blood for Blood /Blood of My Blood

I can read one of these?

Basically it revolves around blood?

@Cathy: Haha I'm never reading Never Never again XD (please NBRC, don't give me any reason to reread it haha)

If I'm connecting with Never, I have
Never Fade

[Annalisa]

Here are the books I currently have available to read. I don't have anything with Blood though.

The Viscount Who Loved Me, A Reaper at the Gates, Smoke in the Sun, The One You Can't Forget, Married By Morning, Love in the Afternoon, Tempt Me at Twilight, A Crown of Wishes, Not the Girls You're Looking For, and 1Q84

Would any of those work? I don't have anything with blood. I think first word matches last word of previous book, so maybe something I have would work.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Yes, first word matches last word of previous book.

Let me check what I have for the books you mentioned.

[Em]

if you still need a fourth person, i'd love to participate as well :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Em wrote: "if you still need a fourth person, i'd love to participate as well :)"

Yes! Have you got any books to connect with what Annalisa has listed?

Or with Never? Or Blood?

Or with any of this...

Tangle of Need
One True Loves
Six of Hearts
Someone like You
Heart of Fire / Breath of Fire
Daughter of the Pirate King

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Or can you list what you have/can read so we can also check if we have something to connect with your books :)
