score: H 50: 60 G

[Cat]

for the record, that's Quaffle G5 and the score is H 50: 60 G

[Suzanne]

Shannon! I see what you did with that Q book. I'd say (view spoiler)[ my husband thanks you, (hide spoiler)] but that might offend Cat :)

[Donna]

Thanks Cat, I forgot that. Will update.

[Cat]

awwww! did you guys get Suzanne some alien sex?!

[Cat]

Cat is busy avoiding work. She hates working when it's gorgeous outside, so is wish-fulfilling onto the Quidditch pitch.....

Danielle is reading, maybe in the sun, maybe not. But she's got a glint in her eye that is everything to do with splatting Donna.

Danielle's also reading The Testing

the race is on!


ETA, I might've linked to the wrong ed. She's on the kindle one too. 350-ish pages, like the others - we're all on a 2.5hr watch now!

Isn't that what quidditch is all about? ;)

[Cat]

I saw someone complaining about that, yeah....

wasn't me! I've not had any quidditch sex!

[Cat]

Keeper Attack for Quaffle # 5

Suzanne thanks you for that kind offering of alien sex, but for now will read The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved: How Mathematical Genius Discovered the Language of Symmetry that Teddie read for E

She says it's too early in the day for alien.... I think she just likes to tease her long-suffering husband.

Did you know she's got him in a quidditch cheer outfit!

What Suzanne asks her husband to wear in the privacy of their own home is none of our business. People like what they like. *winks*

[Cat]

to be fair, we are both assuming it was Suzanne doing the asking! It's possible that nothing could be further from the truth! ;-P

[Marie (UK)]

Well our Hufflepuffs cannot stay out of the game any Longer

[Elen]

Gryffindor's Keeper

Keeper Teddie flyes around hoops, she saw that Hufflepuff Chasers are flying toward her hoops. She says: "No way, not when I am Keeper". And she defends our hoop by breaking Hufflepuff Quaffle #4 by reading

[Marie (UK)]

Hufflepuff Keeper flies in on her Broom

and breaks the Quaffle by reading The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved: How Mathematical Genius Discovered the Language of Symmetry Teddie read it for E

[Teddie]

Funny - when I read that book for the quaffle, I thought "As long as a math teacher isn't the Hufflepuff keeper, it should stay put." LOL

[Marie (UK)]

Ha we are up for anything Teddie

Lol yeah and you were totally right! In the weirdest coincidence ever, that is (basically) what I did my doctoral thesis on. Haha I still hated reading it, but I'm sure I liked it more than anyone else would have - and I only hated it because of my silly attempt to avoid all things math over the summer. When it talks about the obsessive nature of all those people who make discoveries - that is SO not me.

I'm going to order a hardback copy of the book and send it to my thesis advisor with a thank you note. I think she'd really like it :) .... she probably does read math over the summer...

[Teddie]

Ok, I'll see if there's a way to get Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid into the mix somehow - one of my favs and not as dry as this one. ;-)

[Suzanne]

Thanks for mentioning that - I put it on my to-read read list anyway - I take your recommendations seriously.

[Marie (UK)]

Victoria has fixed that Quaffle by reading

The Last Boyfriend

Quaffle No 5

Q- Julia Quinn The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy - Victoria -
U Under the Bleachers - Danielle
A - A Sliver of Shadow - Katie
F - Fisher's Light - SandyL
F- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Fred Character - Cat
L - The Last Boyfriend - Victoria
E- Szalmaláng Pöttyös könyvek - Melindam

and This Quidditch is exhausting for those watching but our chasers are full of vim and vigour and determined to get Victoria back on her broom

Chaser Chain #10

Talia and SandyL will both read Slave to Sensation.

[Jenny]

One announcer got hit with a sleeping draught, and one got hit by lightning, so here I am announcing that Gryffindor's beaters both want to read the same book. Go figure.

Beater Judith reading Slave to Sensation
Beater Tammie reading the same.

[Katie]

Hufflepuff's announcers are also MIA, so...

Beater's Katie and Danielle will both defend reading Slave to Sensation.

See Cat's post below. :P

[Cat]

Snap!

Our beaters are doing the same :)

Both Katie & Danielle will defend reading Slave to Sensation.


BR points anyone? ;-P

[Cat]

and double snap! sorry !

[Katie]

OMG...Cat, we've got to get it together! :P

[Cat]

Katie wrote: "OMG...Cat, we've got to get it together! :P"

Go! read! We'll pretend that didn't happen....

Nothing to see here..... move along..... *whistles innocently*

[Suzanne]

The six! of you are just trying to make me jealous!

[Shannon]

Gryffindor's Chasers were feeling guilty about the Hufflepuff Keeper having been denied her request for alien dragon shifter sex, and have repaired the Quaffle with her in mind. They are now back on their brooms and are ready to score some goals.

Oh so......if you kind ladies don't mind, could you announce which beater is attacking which chaser?

And we will try to update with which of our beaters is defending which chaser.

And I'm not at all jealous that you are all reading that book instead of math. Nope, not at all.

[Suzanne]

Hufflepuff Keeper Defends Chain # 6

Suzanne will read The Last Man which was read by Shannon for the letter L. And isn't math. And Mitch Rapp IS kind of sexy. And ..... this is way deeper into this series than I've been. And... I'd better go read!

[Shannon]

Beater Judith is going after Talia
Beater Tammie is attacking Sandy

Sorry!

[Suzanne]

Oh np! It really doesn't matter too much - it is pretty much a free for all!

[Suzanne]

As For Hufflepuff:

Katie is going after Judith who is going after Talia
Danielle is going after Tammy who is going after Sandy

I think this could be the start of a new book!.

[Teddie]

Since everyone else is having fun frolicking in the fray, Gryffindor keeper Teddie jumps in to stop the quaffle, starts reading The Last Boyfriend
