Team Bellatrix Lestrange

[Teresa]

HI! I was just checking to see what my books were used for and I see that Hallowed Bond has been used twice in Characters - once for the V in Minerva and once for the R in Author (though the reasoning is the title starts with R, which it doesn't...)

[Teresa]

Louise, I used Hamlet for the maze, I wasn't thinking when I put in the spell it out.

[Louise]

Thanks Teresa, I'll update the spreadsheet

[Louise]

We'd like you to check in once a week to let us know that all is well, if only to say hi.
• What are you looking forward to over the next week?
• What is your current read?
• Is there anything you would like us to do to make things easier?

Currently reading The Caller

[Teresa]

I have a few books on the go. I’ll get my paranormal done soon. I’ve been reading for the maze, which nets smaller books but I’ll refocus here :)

[Samantha]

Hey everyone. Sorry I’ve been so absent 😞 my husband was gone for a week and it throws me off my game. I finished the 5th HP book and read a Goodebumps book, so I’ll add those to the list soon. I’m in the middle of reading Leviathan Wakes and kind of a couple books. Leviathan is taking precedence right now.

[M]

Checking in

• What are you looking forward to over the next week?
count down to my vacation. It is going to be a lot of fun

• What is your current read?
I am looking to plug holes in tasks, if there is one that has one or two books unclaimed I am going for those. My current list is

Fight a basilisk; Read a book with the word “Phoenix” in title or text
Write a report on Werewolves; Read a book with a wolf on the cover
Four Champions are Competing; reading square
Silver and Opals; Read a book with Curse in the title

Those are all I can find right now. I have a few days off where I plan on doing nothing but reading

• Is there anything you would like us to do to make things easier?
Update the team spreadsheet

[Karolyn]

Hey everyone! I got two books for the TWT done today and am starting on another. I've had the house to myself most of the day. I need to start finding shorter books for these TWT tasks! I'm starting The Book of Lies next, and then will see where else I can be helpful on our tasks.

Hope everyone has a great week!

I have been updating it for myself and others if I have noticed people say they want to claim a certain task. Had no problems

[Kaley]

I’ll see what U books I can grab! Other than that, I know I’ll be trying to read The Woman in the Window &!I Have Lost My Way within the next week before my library loans expire! I have a few maze ones in-progress too.

[Snowtulip]

I've been out of pocket camping, had lots of fun. So I'll spend the next few hours updating my books, etc. Then I'll come back and see what tasks we need.

[Snowtulip]

So, I just finished a book with "large battle", so that's done for TWT.

I'll grab these:

Deathly Hallows - "Three" in the title
Deathly Hallows - Snake on cover

No problem, the maze is just as important as TWT tasks 🙂

All unclaimed tasks are on team s/sheet, we have quite a few tasks where only one part is filled or claimed, and others where we only need one to complete the task.

That looks like a good book. Thanks for sharing your planning spreadsheet. All Claimed tasks are on team s/sheet we have a few where we only need one to complete the task and a few where we only have one task, this is where we need to focus.

I love camping, but the weather has now turned, getting withdrawal symptoms. Added your task😉

[Fandury]

Sorry, was absend for the week, as I visited my father again for his birthday.

Also not much reading done because of this, but I hope I will do better the next 2 weeks.

[Karolyn]

I'm grabbing these four books for the TWT. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more before the end of the month!

Prisoner of Azkaban Task 2 - Read a book with a hat on the cover
Order of Phoenix Task 2 - Read a book with Trial in the Title
Half Blood Prince Task 5 - Read a book with a graveyard on the cover
Deathly Hallows Task 3 - Read a book with a cottage on the cover

Sorry, thanks for catching that, of course I'm 1/3 done with that one. 😁 I don't suppose we can call the ax a "club like object" on the cover?



If not... maybe we can get a spell Out letter from it.

[Teresa]

I'm also working on Read a book with your favorite romantic couple

[Tori]

hello. sorry ive been a bit quiet recently. im hoping to fix that now. hope everyone is well

[Hannah]

Hello all, work has been a complete pain. I've been the sole contact for a customer the past five weeks. They've been getting breakfasts and lunches every day, I work for a catering company. It has kept me busy. But yay it's the last week.

I'm making my way through Crazy Rich Asians, and Every Heart a Doorway.

[Karolyn]

I'm going to grab these four. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more later this week.

Prisoner of Azkaban Task 4 - A book with Time in the title
Order of Phonex Task 1 - A book with order in the title
Order of Phonex Task 5 - A book with Lost in the Title
Deathly Hallows Task 1 - A book with Seven in the title

[Karolyn]

There is a TWT Task I'm struggling to find a book for. It's a book with opal in the text. It's the last one we need for that particular task, so please keep an eye out as your reading.

[M]

I found something with Opal in the text, but I don't know how to list it. The book is a collection of short stories.

[Karolyn]

M wrote: "I found something with Opal in the text, but I don't know how to list it. The book is a collection of short stories."

Does the collection have an ISBN number? If you put that number in the search books box at the top of the page it should pull up the collection, I think.

I haven't read Crazy Rich Asians, but I've heard good things about the movie :)

[Kaley]

I saw the movie over the weekend and loved it! Can’t wait till my library hold on it comes in.

[Tori]

ok so i kinda accidently started reading book 4 of the series instead of book 2. No wonder it wasnt making sense

[Louise]

M wrote: "I found something with Opal in the text, but I don't know how to list it. The book is a collection of short stories."

A book of short stories needs to read in its entirety, anthologies can be read and listed separately 😊

[M]

I found the ISBN for the collection, the version I read is not listed so I don't know how to post it.

[Louise]

You can add a new edition with the listing, make sure to add page numbers

[Tori]

im having a bad time starting something here. ive ditched the last three books ive started

[Louise]

Task Update: Goblet of Fire: Task 1 - Four Champions are Competing. We have been informed that each book for this task needs to be read by a different member

M can you let us know the books you had planned for this so that we can try and get this one done 😊

I think M posted them on the completion thread this morning. Hopefully we can use some of hers for other tasks. I'm on the last book I've got claimed right now. I can grab one for this task next if needed.

[Teresa]

Hey, Snowtulip! I noticed you posted Stawberries for dessert with spell it out. You used that for the maze, didn’t you?

[Snowtulip]

I did, my brain wasn't even working, so thanks!

I should actually double check my maze books...

[Teresa]

😊

[Teresa]

Has someone claimed Read a book with pixies or fairies?

I am currently reading one that fits, I'll be done before the 30th (I have a lot on the go at the moment that I'll be able to finish up before the end)

[Teresa]

I can also finish up that task with Sweet Young Thang

I'm seeing two books from M listed as completed for this Task, is that OK? If we need to move one, the half-blood prince has a wand on the cover and would finish that task (Prisoner of Azkaban Task 5)
