Gryffindor's Keeper



Keeper Teddie won't let opposite team score, she is ready to defend our hoops.

The Pact - Teddie [Read by Sandy L, Letter L in Quaffle]"


Sorry that query should be against the quaffle break in this post your edition is 100 pages shorter than ours

Elen | 1273 comments Keeper's book should be the same book what opposite team read, but editions can be different. Teddie is reading the paperback and you read Kindle edition. But the book is 100% the same.

EDIT: I can ask Teddie once again, what edition she reads.

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5939 comments but the page count is 100 pages and 35 minutes shorter reading time - if book has to be same page count or longer that does not work


message 104: by Elen (new)

Elen | 1273 comments That rule applies to beaters when they want to read the book with the common word in the title.

The word from Mod:

Kindle editions and paperbacks and hardback copies often have varying lengths. The only requirement for Keeper books is that they read the same book. It doesn’t have to be the same edition. We can’t force someone to go buy the paperback if they want it on kindle, just like if someone already owns the paperback or hardback we aren’t going to make them buy the kindle edition. It’s up to the Keeper how they get the book. It could be Audible, hardback, paperback, kindle, library, whatever.

Suzanne finished reading Quinn to take out Letter Q (read by Tammie)

Sorry Suzanne...I didn't think about the cliff when I picked it!


message 131: by Suzanne (last edited Jun 24, 2018 08:18PM) (new)

Suzanne | 5417 comments Lol no worries. I just had to whine because I kept looking for answers at the end. I'm sure I'll pick up Bonnie soon so that I can get some closure.

Edit: And really it was a smart pick - mid series, etc. You ladies are strategic - darn it! I advertised to my husband that he should give me lots of time this week to read about dragon/shifter, etc. sex but.....that's not happening =)

That’s chain 8

Score: H 40 G 60


message 133: by Shannon (new)

Shannon (countessmom) | 4087 comments That’s really not up to your usual standards Cat. *snort*

@Suzanne, you should try being a Beater or Chaser next round to get in on all the fun alien dragon shifter sex. ;)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10108 comments Mod
I know,Shannon, I know

I've let the team down
I've let yous down
I've let the supporters down
I've let myself down

:(

In my defence: I was on a tablet, only jus awake, so the fact that I got the info right was, quite frankly, not guaranteed! So, KISS was the order of the day

Our Beater is going for an attack, so Judith has picked up Kulti, currently being read by Victoria.

Keeper Teddie won't sit still in her broom, she is going to defend our hoops from Hufflepuff Quaffle by reading

Six Degrees of Scandal - Teddie [Read by Sandy L, Letter L in Quaffle]


message 140: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10108 comments Mod
nooooo! not our beautiful quaffle!

If Teddie's bored she could take up knitting - much safer than flying around hoops in the air!

I also meant to say, Shannon: THIS is why I was asking about up to 600p time minimums!
I think we are now officially into the fastest finger first territory for posting goal/bludger....
and I am about to go into a meeting for at least a couple of hours!


message 143: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (last edited Jun 25, 2018 06:04AM) (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5684 comments That was a lonely run for Victoria, nervously watching Judith's moves - jinking when Judith twitched, zigging when she zagged. We really hope she managed that last zag to avoid the bludger....

She shoots! She scores!


Victoria's finished Chain 8 - Kulti

Hufflepuffs 50 : Gryffindors 60

Innocent? Really? Miss use the banishing charm to make a nekkid man. Riiiight. Innocent :P


message 148: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne | 5417 comments But Cat.....I was just talking about Quidditch and the books read there-in :) Plus, come one, that comment had the most perfect set-up - I would have had to be a saint not to resist.

And good job to both sides - that's a long book to read this morning. Pretty sure it doesn't have a dragon too...
