3rd Match: Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor
Gryffindor BeaterLexi defended Maddy. She is good to play.
Lexi read The Winter Bear's Bride (Same book) to defend Maddy
On a roll the Ravenclaw chasers attempt another run at the goalposts hoping the keeper is sufficiently distracted with a historical romance.
They will all be reading
Mated by Midsummer @ 100 pgs
Please note that we're using the Amazon page count. I did put in a request for the page count to be changed to the correct one.
I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but we use the GR page count. If the book is shorter, at least according to GR, you need to find another book....
I remember the rule that we should go by GR even if Kindel shows another page count.
Correct post: Ravenclaw Beater Nikk is fresh on the field and ready to run. She spots Maddy out of the corner of her eye and head's out to attack
Nikk is reading Witch Winter@ 169 pgs

question though - does my time limit start from the new post or the old one ?
Note: Lexi already saved Maddy with your last post. It would be unfair to Lexi, bc she read and finished it.
But let's see what Mod will say.

I defended the old post so I think it is moot but have someone who knows what is going on better than me answer
Ok....I think I’m caught up. The Beater attack book originated posted was too short. Instead of marking it out and posting a new post with corrected attacking book, it was just changed.This is why no editing except for simple fixes and no deleting.
While things are up in the air, the other team is busy trying to figure out what your doing rather than attacking or defending. Thus they are losing time.
There should have been an entirely new post with a new start time.
Your Chain #12 is too short. It’s void.
Ravenclaw Beater Attack CompletionBeater Deanna sends another bludger at Jenny.
Deanna finished reading Jenny's book Caught By the Dragon.
Lexi wrote: "Nikk the Sapphired Book Dragon wrote: "Shannon wrote: "I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but we use the GR page count. If the book is shorter, at least according to GR, you need to find another..."I think they are both invalidated at this point, as you beat the attack, and that book can’t be attacked again. So just in the future let’s be sure if there is a mistake, we post a new post.
Gryffindor BeaterLexi returns to the game with an attack on Emily with Heart of Darkness - 121 pages in place of Cross My Heart

I can certainly ask Karen to do some research into what the actual page count/word count should be and correct in on GR, if that’s something that you’d like me to pursue.

You could write it, self-publish on KU, make it like 115 pages and we can use it for a chaser chain.
Add in some shifter sex and you'd have a rush on downloads. . . looks over at Donna. and Jenny. and Shannon, wherever you are.

I'll proofread and be available to consult for accuracy.
I mean, I give excellent advice. Just ask Jenny and Sonia about my book recommendation of Taken by the T-Rex.
Honestly, I still can't believe BOTH OF THEM READ IT. hahahaha
Everyone here should be lucky it's only 97 pages. Otherwise I'm sure it would be popped up in Quidditch.

Sorry, don't want to sound like a**hole, but if you decide to change book, you should cross out the last post and call it void and post a new one. [We had this problem in last match too]
