Snowtulip | 4679 comments I'm doing sword on cover to replace the one I had before, should be done with that today!

I'm also in the middle of "Three" in title.

And I just finished a #3 in series that can be used, plan on posting in the next 30 minutes.

Karolyn | 1041 comments I'm going to grab these three for now...

Prisoner of Azkaban Task 1 - book with purple cover
Order of Phonex Task 5 - Prophecy as part of the story
Deathly Hallows Task 4 - Main character goes home again (I'll hold off on this in case you use Snowtulips book for this one)


message 904: by Karolyn (new)

Karolyn | 1041 comments I can also read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for Sorcerer's Stone Task 3 - Play Wizard Chess IF someone has a book starting with Nest to finish off the task.


message 905: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1976 comments For Sorcerer’s Stone Task 3 (Play Wizard’s Chess), is a book that begins and ends with the same word allowed? If so, I could do One Plus One for the third and we could do Karolyn’s fourth. Just didn’t know if that’s be allowed since technically two would start with the same word... but it fits within the rules :) if not, Karolyn can do hers!

M Beal | 1680 comments I am officially on vacation and will be reading a lot more over the next few days.

Perfect


message 908: by M (new)

M Beal | 1680 comments Question
For the task
• Task 3: The Unbreakable Vow
"Vow" in title or series name

Does it have to vow or can it be Vows?


message 909: by SandyC (new)

SandyC (sandyc88) | 1193 comments Hi all. I am getting ready to move this week and work has been extra challenging, so I am doubtful I will finish any more books. It’s possible and I will try!
I’m about halfway through Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Fandury | 310 comments Ok, I have checked the tasks and can read for three.

I have a book that ends with a H for 📖 Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire
•Task 1: Four Champions are Competing
The Coffin Path

Someone would have to read then a book starting with a T and ending with S for the fourth side.

And I also have a book with Seven in the series name for

📖Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
•Task 1: The Potters
"Seven" in series name
The Curse of the Silver Pharaoh

And I also have a short book for 7th in a series for the same task:
Shadow Unit 7

Four champions are Competing needs to have Young Adult on the Main Page, this one won't work sorry.


message 914: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Louise, which post should we use to see what's left over for tasks, message 901?

I know we're all trying to get as many done, so I just want to make sure I'm looking at the correct area :)

Yes please, I'll update this at least once a day with what had been claimed and what is still needed :)


message 916: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Close to finishing the task for "Three" in the title

I can also do:
• Something broken on cover
•Wand on cover

Damn.

But I found another one, this time with Young Adult:

Greenwitch

It has 40000 words according to AR Bookfinder so it should work even so it has Children as MPG.

I can read this one if someone has a Book starting with G and ending with S.

I can do Glass Houses to finish this one out.


message 920: by M (new)

M Beal | 1680 comments I found books to fit these two. They are short so I should have them finished quickly

Louise | 3330 comments Tracking Post is updated.

All Claimed tasks are highlighted, if you are unable to complete any task let us know.
For SpellOut we are in desperate need of U's and Y's


message 923: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1976 comments My goal for the next few days is to try to get three more Us done but I have a pretty busy week at work so I’m not quite sure I’ll get through all of them. I am almost done with one U now but after that my priority is shifting to the tasks that I have claimed and then after those are done I will move back to the Us. Can’t believe we only have a few days left!

M Beal | 1680 comments Would a Flail be considered a club like weapon?

message 927: by Karolyn (new)

Karolyn | 1041 comments I'm going to grab a book with Club in the title for Half Blood Prince Task 1.

Fingers crossed I'll be able to get that one and maybe two more finished before the end of the month.


message 928: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments So I have a few motorcycle club books on audio, so I'll take:

message 931: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I’m reading Until You for a U


message 932: by Karolyn (new)

Karolyn | 1041 comments I found one with a couple dancing on the cover, so I'll grab that Task. It's short, so I might even get it finished tonight.


message 933: by Louise (new)

Louise | 3330 comments Tracking updated 2 days to go 😊


message 934: by M (new)

M Beal | 1680 comments I am starting to book with a teacher as a main character tonight. Other than that I am going to try to finish off some of the spell outs


message 935: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1976 comments I found a collection of 5 short audiobooks that all have U titles... I’m hoping they’re good so I can get through them all! I’ll at least be able to get through the first one. I’m almost done with that one actually, but have switched to reading my other task book for the rest of the night. Unless they take a terrible plot turn I should be able to get through them all.


message 936: by Karolyn (new)

Karolyn | 1041 comments I'll take Feast or dinner item on cover. Maman's Homesick Pie: A Persian Heart in an American Kitchen has figs on the cover.


message 937: by Karolyn (last edited Aug 29, 2018 09:32PM) (new)

Karolyn | 1041 comments It looks like we only have 4 TWT books left unclaimed! They are all for the same task. Do we think we can finish this? I can probably get one, maybe two if they're short.

Love in the title
Chocolate on the cover
Bottle on the cover
Heart on the cover


message 938: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1976 comments I need to read something with a heart on the cover for another challenge anyway, so I can probably grab that one if I can find a good audiobook for tomorrow. But....do we have a countdown or anything for the official end? That will also affect if I can have it done depending on what time of day it ends.


message 939: by Karolyn (new)

Karolyn | 1041 comments I'm starting a book with love in the title.

They posted a countdown in Owl Mail... looks like it is midnight tomorrow Lisbon time.


message 940: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1976 comments Yeah, I can take Heart on cover then!
L.A. Candy (L.A. Candy, #1) by Lauren Conrad


message 941: by Karolyn (new)

Karolyn | 1041 comments I'm taking a book with a bottle on the cover.

That only leaves a book with chocolate on the cover to finish the TWT tasks.


message 942: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I'm starting my shoe book. I'll look for chocolate on cover now...


message 943: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I’m doing a y book. I see we need a couple of these.


message 944: by Louise (new)

Louise | 3330 comments Tracking post is updated.

We have 24 hours to go

@ Samantha we are still waiting for your post for Musical Instrument
@ Hannah are you still on track to finish Necklace on cover?

I have finished my task books which I'll post tomorrow, I've got one more I'm working on before deadline

Good work everybody 😊

message 948: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments So I’m almost done with chocolate book and am listening to a musical instrument book in case we need it.


message 949: by Karolyn (new)

Karolyn | 1041 comments I'm looking for any short books with I, X, or Y to help out. If there isn't anything for the TWT we're worriedly about not finishing... I can try to help there too. Aside from an hour or so this afternoon, I have the whole day to read


message 950: by Karolyn (new)

Karolyn | 1041 comments Found an "I" book, will have it done in a few hours.
